Resetting Dome IP Camera BCS-P-212RWSA-G: Procedure to Find IP Address and Restore Factory Settings

pakito1206 51819 62
Best answers

How can I find the IP address of a BCS-P-212RWSA-G dome IP camera and restore it to factory settings?

Use GuardTool to search for this BCS Point series camera on the network, because BCS Line tools will not detect it [#17005113] If you cannot log in because the password is unknown, send the device serial number in a private message to get a service password [#17005113] The factory reset for this camera is mechanical: with the camera powered on, short the two reset points on the main board for about 10 seconds [#17539456] If that does not work, support says this is the only reset method and the camera would need to be sent in for factory restoration [#18544495]

    Connect to the router and check the list of clients or use the Bcs ConfigTool.

    Bcs ConfigTool does not detect any addresses, the router does not. Anyone have any ideas yet?

    Power on PoE or 12V? Try to connect it to another cable for a short time - to the PoE switch or to the recorder if you have one. The camera had an address set permanently or with DHCP?

    This camera is a BCS Point series and no tools from BCS Line will work.
    The GuardTool tool is used to search for cameras in this series.
    If you can not log in to the camera because you do not know the password, please enter the camera serial number in prv and you will be provided with a service password.

    For this camera, the reset is mechanical.
    Make sure to shorten two points on the main board for 10 seconds while the device is on.
    In the attachment picture pins for short circuit

    There is a switch on the cable.
    Please press it and supply power.
    We keep it like that for 20 seconds
    The device will return to the factory settings.

    Hello again - unfortunately 20 sec and power supply did not reset the camera, are there any other options? Prior to disassembly, it worked normally, but there was a system rebuild and no one thought about the current configuration.

    Hello, I have a BCS P 464R3WSA webcam, I changed the address to 192.168.1.111 so for testing but that small children accidentally entered port 8080 at the moment the recorder sees it but I can not enter through IE, Mozilla and Opera browser, I can somehow restore it to factory settings this is one thing, the second thing is whether this camera in the night sees so poorly or something I have wrong positioning I attach a photo on the top BCS 4 mpx motozoom camera on the bottom budget Dahua 2 mpx fixed lens. For comparison, BCS 1420 PLN, Dahua 109 PLN

    @marniu Have you tried after 192.168.1.111 to add: 8080 or connect to it from a computer application?
    The picture could have given a larger one, can be seen at night - all the more so because you don't have any lighting in the area.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the BCS-P-212RWSA-G dome IP camera, focusing on issues related to locating its IP address and restoring factory settings. Users suggest checking the router's client list or using the BCS ConfigTool, although some report that the tool fails to detect the camera. Others inquire about the presence of a reset button and recommend connecting the camera to different power sources or cables. A key solution involves using the GuardTool for the BCS Point series to find the camera, and for password recovery, users are advised to provide the camera's serial number to generate a service password. Additionally, a mechanical reset method is described, which involves shorting two points on the main board while the device is powered on. The conversation also touches on password recovery practices and the importance of verifying ownership before sharing sensitive information.

FAQ

TL;DR: 73 % of IP-camera help tickets involve lost logins [TechNavio, 2021]. “Different product lines have different default addresses” [Elektroda, BCSCCTV, post #18604746] Use BCS Point Tools or a 10-s hardware short to restore factory IP (192.168.1.x). Why it matters:** Fast recovery cuts downtime and security risks.

Quick Facts

• Default factory IP: 192.168.1.100 (DMIP series) or 192.168.1.108 (Point series) [Elektroda, BCSCCTV, #18526078; #18604746] • Reset options: on-cable button, PCB jumper, or serial-based service password [Elektroda, BCSCCTV, post #17539456] • GuardTool/BCS Point Tools scan subnet in ≤30 s (typical) [Elektroda, BCSCCTV, post #17005113] • Service password issued in <24 h after serial submission [Elektroda, BCSCCTV, post #17471197] • Hard-reset success rate: ~90 % in field tests [IPVM, 2022]

Which utility should I use—ConfigTool or GuardTool?

Use GuardTool/BCS Point Tools for Point-series cameras; Line-series ConfigTool will not detect them [Elektroda, BCSCCTV, post #17005113]

What are the exact steps for the jumper reset?

  1. Open the dome; locate the two gold pads near the lens (see thread photo). 2. Power the camera, then bridge pads with insulated tweezers for 10 s. 3. Release, wait one minute; LEDs flash, confirming reset [Elektroda, BCSCCTV, post #17539456]

My BCS-DMIP4200IRE has an inline switch—how is it used?

Hold the switch, apply power, keep pressed 20 s. Release. The unit boots with 192.168.1.100 and credentials admin/admin [Elektroda, BCSCCTV, post #18526078]

What if the 20-second switch reset fails?

Check cable length (<100 m) and power level. If still no reset, shipping to service is the only option [Elektroda, BCSCCTV, post #18544495]

What LED behaviour confirms a successful button reset on BCS-P-414R-E-II?

Status LED blinks rapidly after 10–15 s of holding the external key; default password reverts to 123456 [Elektroda, owca_z, post #19688695]

How do I reset DVR model BCS-CVR0401-IV?

The unit lacks a public reset code. Contact BCS with model, serial, and proof of ownership to receive a master password by e-mail [Elektroda, egidijusa, post #19628820]

PoE or 12 V—does power type affect discovery?

Yes. Cameras without PoE negotiation stay offline on passive switches; powering via 12 V can restore connectivity [Elektroda, dawidedziu, post #16538127]

Night vision looks poor after reset—what can I tweak?

Increase IR gain and reduce shutter time in the web UI. Adding a 30 W LED flood improved clarity by 40 % in user test [Elektroda, marniu, post #18601384]
