What the Reset Button Does
| Action | Press Duration | Function | Is It Safe for Customer Use? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reset | Short press (tap) | Restarts the camera software | ✅ Yes |
| Recovery | ❌ Not Supported | No recovery function exists | 🚫 Not applicable |
When to Use the Reset Button
- The camera UI becomes unresponsive
- Camera stops responding to triggers or inspection cycles
- You've changed a setting (like IP address) that needs a restart
What Happens Internally
- The camera reboots the operating system
- All inspection recipes, logs, and network settings remain intact
- No data is erased
What Not to Expect
- No factory reset
- No firmware flashing
- No hidden recovery mode
This button only reboots the system, similar to unplugging and replugging power — but safer.
