Reset Button on the OV80i
This page explains the purpose of the Reset button on the OV80i camera and when to use it during basic troubleshooting.
Quick Note:
There is no recovery mode or long-press behavior. A short press simply restarts the camera.
Where Is the Button?
The Reset button is located on the top panel of the OV80i.
Notes:
- Micro-USB provides emergency access to the UI at
http://192.168.55.1regardless of Ethernet configuration. - HDMI provides a read-only HMI display (1920×1080) for real-time visualization.
- USB-A/C are reserved for future/support use and do not provide UI connectivity.
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.
