Factory Reset

Applies to Apple TV Updated 1 min read

If you need to start completely fresh, a factory reset wipes all app configuration and returns IC Realtime TV to its initial state.

What Gets Removed

A factory reset deletes:

  • All discovered cameras and saved credentials
  • Camera friendly names and custom ordering
  • Zone definitions
  • Site Map layout (camera positions, background image, zones)
  • All app settings and preferences
  • PIN lock configuration
  • Cached thumbnails and snapshots

How to Factory Reset

  1. Go to Settings > System > Factory Reset.
  2. Confirm that you want to erase all data.
  3. The app resets and returns to the first-time setup wizard.

Before You Reset

  • Export your configuration first if you want to preserve it. Use Settings > System > iCloud Sync > Export to iCloud to save a backup.
  • A factory reset cannot be undone. Your cameras will need to be rediscovered and reconfigured.

When to Factory Reset

  • The app is behaving unexpectedly after a major update.
  • You want to transfer the Apple TV to a new location with different cameras.
  • You're troubleshooting a persistent issue and have exhausted other options.
  • You want to remove all saved credentials from the device.
