Net-Boot mode

There are two methods of putting your camera in net-boot mode, depending on a small hardware revision made in 2008. These are the 'net-boot button' method, and the more recent 'no button' method.

Net-boot button Method:

If your camera has a small green dot beneath the network connector on the back of the camera, it most likely has the net-boot button installed, and this is the button that you will need to press to get into net-boot mode. (Note: some recent cameras still have the green dot, but do not have the button installed. Please contact us if you are unsure if your camera has this button) To enter net-boot mode, press the small green button gently until you feel a light click. Hold this button in place while you insert the network cable. Keep the button pressed until you see the network LED's blinking.

No Button Method:

If your camera does not have a green dot on the back, or if you do not feel a small click when pressing on the green dot, then your camera is most likely a more recent revision, and does not need the button to be put in net-boot mode. To put these cameras in net-boot mode, just plug the network cable into the camera and count to three, then remove the cable and count to three again. Repeat this process at least five times. If this is done correctly, then when the cable is plugged in for the last time, a few seconds later the network LED's will begin to blink very quickly.
