How can I reset the password on my H.264 CCTV DVR? This is a common question that the technical support team receives at CCTV Camera Pros.
Although it seems like a simple question, the answer is not so simple. The reason is because the majority of the security camera DVRs manufactured between 2007 and 2018 use H.264 video codec and label their DVR cases with the term “H.264 DVR”.
H.264 is not a brand or a model, although it appears to be on many DVR cases. It is a video compression standard that virtually every surveillance manufacturer uses. Even Apple uses it in their iPhones. There are hundreds of CCTV DVRs out there that are labeled H.264 DVR. Each of them has their own default master password and their own process on how-to reset it.
I wrote this article to help people track down the instructions on how-to reset the password on their DVR. Here are some steps that you can take.

Inspect your DVR’s case for a product sticker. DVR manufacturers typically place a silver product sticker on the back of their DVR cases. Some will have a DVR model on them.
For example, the above product label is placed on the back of our iDVR-PRO CCTV DVRs. You can see that the iDVR-PRO4A model is clearly displayed on it. Using this example, I would recommend searching Google for something like “iDVR-PRO4A password reset”. If no results are useful, then simply search for “iDVR-PRO4A” to try to locate the manufacturer or someone that supplies it. You can then call or email to see if they have instructions.
2: Locate Your DVR’s Brand

For example, this is the front of our iDVR-PRO16H 16ch CCTV DVR. You can see that our iDVR-PRO brand is clearly displayed. Using this example, I would recommend searching on Google for “iDVR-PRO password reset instructions” or just “iDVR-PRO”.
3: Do You Have An Email Order Confirmation
If you originally purchased the DVR online, search through your email account to see if you can locate the original order confirmation email or any other email correspondence related to your DVR. If have an email, see if that company is still in business and reachable.
