Question: Does anyone know how to reset factory defaults externally on the hikvision ds-2cd2032-I? I've held the reset button down for 60 sec and it does not appear to do anything.
Background: I had the camera working well, but couldn't see it outside my network so was following NetworkCameraCritic's advice (http://www.networkcameracritic.com/?p=1791#comment-5466) from his BLOG (certainly not blaming NetworkCameraCritic, his site is excellent). I changed all the ports to sequential numbers 9000,9001,etc. Now I can no longer access the admin page through the browser. SADP still indicates the correct IP address and port number. When I attempt to change it in SADP it gives me an "failed to modify settings" error.
Any help would be much appreciated. I loved the camera before I messed it up.
