Have a camera here that I want to reset, opened it up to see if it has a reset button on it, it is not present.
Can I see it in my network but cannot log in because I do not know the password, how do I solve this?
Attach the label present to the camera.
Kind regards.20210504_173637.jpg

Typically, you would have to disassemble the camera, and find the two contact points near the edge of the printed circuit board where a pushbutton switch could reside. Remove power from the camera, connect those two contacts, apply power to the camera. Leave it connected for at least three to five minutes while the firmware image is restored. Don't be surprised if it comes up as IP address 192.168.1.108, as this is the default for most Dahua cameras. If the firmware/web GUI screen appears in Chinese, you've got cheap Chinese cameras that were firmware-hacked to provide English interface. The Chrome browser with lanugage translation will be your best friend.

Please say hello to my friends in Kortrijk. :)

Hallo, i am living 50 km near Kortrijk.
I don't know if this is even a dahua camera, I already opened it, but I can't find a pressure switch to reset, otherwise I would have already done this.
If I needed to know which wires to short, I can do this too.

if it is, and the bootloader has the cfgRestore command, this could be worth trying :
