These fields are used to change the login name and
password used to access the Camera. For security purposes,
you should change these from the default values (both set

Restore Factory Defaults
Restore Defaults To restore the Camera to its factory
default settings, click Restore Defaults.
NOTE: This will overwrite the Camera’s settings
with the factory defaults. Any changes you
made to the Camera’s settings will be lost; you
will not be able to recover them.
Firmware Upgrade
Upgrade Firmware New firmware versions are posted at
www.linksys.com and can be downloaded for free. If the
Camera is functioning satisfactorily, there is no need to
download a newer firmware version, unless that version
has a new feature that you want to use. Loading new
firmware onto the Camera does not always enhance its
performance.
Linksys recommends that you upgrade the Camera’s
firmware within your network; in other words, use a
computer within the Camera’s local network. If you
attempt to upgrade the Camera’s firmware from a remote
location—using a computer outside of the Camera’s local
network—the upgrade will fail.
