Resetting Your Mevo Camera to Factory Defaults

You can reset your Mevo camera (Start or Core) either through the Mevo app or using the physical reset button on the camera. Resetting will erase any saved configurations, such as Wi-Fi networks, login credentials, and camera name or password.

Warning: Resetting your camera removes all custom settings. You’ll need to reconnect accounts, re-enter Wi-Fi credentials, and update your camera’s firmware after resetting.

Option 1: Reset Button on the Camera

If you'd like to reset your Mevo camera without using the app, you can use the physical reset button located on the camera body.

  2. Straighten a paperclip or use a similar thin object.
  3. Locate the reset pinhole on the bottom of the camera.
  4. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
  5. The LED ring will begin flashing white, then blue when the reset is complete.

After Reset

After completing the reset, your camera will appear as if it’s brand new. Open the Mevo app and follow the steps to reconnect and configure your settings. If you reset a Mevo Start, it may require a firmware update before you begin streaming again.

A factory reset is recommended only as a last resort for troubleshooting. If you're experiencing issues, try a hard reboot or firmware update first.
