Forgotten or lost login credential information needed to access surveillance systems and/or individual components is a fairly common occurrence for A1 customers. Specifically user names, passwords & IP addresses, which are all touched on in this article. The information found on this page will potentially be applicable for a wide-range of system applications and types (including, but not limited to) smaller residential systems on up to enterprise/commercial systems and even Integrators trying to help their customers!
We will warn you that some equipment manufacturers can have ‘advanced product lines’ that also include unique credential protocols. In those cases this information may not/would not apply, and if so, you can also try referencing the installation manual specific to that product. These manuals are often found online by searching your specific part number and then some light digging into those online search listings, but as well the A1 service team can provide manuals to you if you are unable to locate that.
Below is a chart that lists default credentials by manufacturer/brand name. If you or someone with access to your system has changed any default values, then the default credentials would no longer apply unless the equipment in question is first ‘reset’ (resetting equipment is also something the A1 team is happy to help you if needed). Below is an easily referenced chart for you, hope it helps but reach out to us if it does not or for any other service needs you are unable to resolve yourself!

https://ipvm.com/reports/ip-cameras-default-passwords-directory
Below is a directory of 50+ manufacturer's default passwords.
Note: Change Default Passwords
Leaving default passwords is dangerous and makes it easy for even inexperienced attackers to take control, brick or watch your video feed. Worse, since many cameras are made available over the Internet (often because of another risky practice, port forwarding or because the manufacturer defaulted UPnP on), the cameras may be attacked from anywhere in the world.
Manufacturer List Default Passwords
While IPVM strongly recommends using complex passwords, users may still need to know defaults when cameras are first configured or factory defaulted, and finding these credentials can be aggravating, with many manufacturers burying them in PDF manuals or not documenting them at all.
For each manufacturer, we list the username first and pasword section in the following format: username/password. Where manufacturers have multiple defaults, or differences in newer/older firmwares, we have noted it:
- ACTi: admin/123456 or Admin/123456
- Amcrest: admin/admin
- American Dynamics: admin/admin or admin/9999
- Arecont Vision: none
- AvertX: admin/1234
- Avigilon: Previously admin/admin, changed to Administrator/<blank> in later firmware versions
- Axis: Traditionally root/pass, new Axis cameras require password creation during first login (note that root/pass may be used for ONVIF access, but logging into the camera requires root password creation)
- Basler: admin/admin

Missing? May Be An OEM
Dahua and Hikvision have 100+ relabelers/OEMs and many of them may simply use the same password requirements as their base manufacturer. If your chosen manufacturer is not listed, check our Hikvision OEM Directory and Dahua OEM Directory to see if they may be relabeled.
