Prerequisites

Ensure you have connected and logged in to the relevant Ava Camera. See How to: Log in to the Ava Cameras software.

1. Select System from the menu.
2. To change the Password used to log in to the camera, click Change password. Enter the current password, and then define the new password. Repeat the new password, then click Reset.
   Tip

   The password must contain a minimum of 8-characters, and cannot be commonly-used passwords such as "password", "12345678" , or strings of repeating characters.

3. If newer firmware than currently installed is available, click Update, then click Update in the Update firmware dialog.
