Does anyone know how to reset a Swann NHD-865 IP camera? I can find articles on other Swann cameras but nothing on this particular model. I can't see any reset button or pinhole on it. I removed the top cover, looked at the PCBs and couldn't see any way to do the reset.
 
That cam looks uncannily like a R-series bullet sold by Nelly's Security and made by Raysharp (hence, the "R" series name). You could try the "Device Config Tool" for the R-Series cameras, found here. Perhaps it'll find it, allow access to its webGUI and/or provide a means to reset/ set to defaults. Good luck!

Fascinating. Nice find! Sadly any downloads of their tools (hosted on Dropbox) aren't working. I messaged them so hopefully they'll fix it soon.

I still can't believe there is no way to reset manually however!
