Is there a work around...

On July 27, 2025, a severe storm caused damage to our equipment. A lightning strike resulted in the failure of my router, despite it being connected to a surge protector. Upon inspection by the internet service provider, it was confirmed that the router was the source of the issue, necessitating its replacement. Currently, I am experiencing difficulty reconfiguring one of my security cameras. It is mounted 12 feet above ground on a wooden post, making it inaccessible for necessary setup procedures. While attempting a factory reset and subsequent configuration, the camera requires a QR code scan, among other actions. I am seeking suggestions for setting up the camera remotely, without the need to climb closer to the device. Removing the post is not a viable solution.
It is a  Argus PT Ultra which was purchased last summer.
Any and all solutions would be greatly appreciated.

If the cameras are still configured to connect to the old wifi network, setup the new router/modem with the exact same wifi name and password, the cameras should then just reconnect.
If they have been reset, then I believe you will still need to go through the setup process.

@bristol-bostons_359629109846183 Replace the SSID and the password on the new router with the old ones and cameras shall connect automatically.
