Notes

  • This endpoint requires POST -- GET is not supported.
  • You must authenticate with the current username and password (HTTP Digest authentication) to change the password.
  • After a successful password change, all subsequent API requests must use the new credentials.
  • Password changes take effect immediately -- existing sessions using the old password will be invalidated.
Security Best Practice

Always use strong, unique passwords for your cameras and NVRs. Never use the default password in production environments. Change the default password during initial device setup before connecting the device to a network.
