Troubleshoong
1. The Power LED and Ethernet Acvity LED do not light up.
The power supply or camera might be faulty. Check that the conneccon to both the power source and the terminal on the back of the camera are secure and that you are using the provided power supply. If the camera is otherwise functioning correctly, the LEDs might have been disabled in the conguraon. See the secon of this guide on Conguraon of System sengs.
2. The camera can't be accessed or access is slow
There might be a problem with the network cable. To conrm that the cables are working, ping the address of a known device on the network. If the cabling is OK and your network is reachable, you should receive a reply similar to the following (...bytes = 32 me = 2 ms).
Another possible problem may be that the network device such as a hub or switch utilized by the Network Camera is not funconing properly. Please conrm the power for the devices are well connected and funconing properly.
3. The camera can be accessed locally but not remotely
This might be caused by a rewall. Check the Internet rewall with your system administrator. The rewall may need to have some sengs changed in order for the Network Camera to be accessible outside your local LAN. For more informaon, please refer to the secon about installing your camera behind a router.
Make sure that the Network Camera isn't conicng with any Web server you may have running on your network.
The default router seng might be a possible reason. Check that the conguraon of the router sengs allow the Network Camera to be accessed outside your local LAN.
4. White vercal lines appear on the image from the camera
It could be that the CMOS sensor (a square panel situated behind the lens that measures the light signals and changes it into a digital format so your computer can present it into an image that you are familiar with) has become overloaded when it has been exposed to bright lights such as direct exposure
to sunlight or halogen lights. Reposition the Network Camera into a more shaded area immediately as prolonged exposure to bright lights will damage the CMOS sensor.
5. The camera images are 'noisy'
Oen if the camera is in a low-light environment, the images can contain a lot of noise. Try enabling Night mode and see if that improves the image quality. Otherwise, try to use the camera in a locaon where there is a bit more light.
6. The camera images are of poor quality.
Make sure that your computer's display properes are set to at least 16-bit color. Using 16 or 256 colors on your computer will produce dithering artifacts in the image, making the image look as if it is of poor quality.
Try also adjusng the brightness, contrast, saturaon, light frequency and anicker controls on the Video Sengs under the Conguraon menu. You may also consider adjusng the resolution of the camera and the compression rate to improve the image.
7. Video can't be viewed through the web browser interface.
AcveX might be disabled. If you are viewing the images from Internet Explorer make sure AcveX has been enabled in the Internet Opons menu. You may also need to change the security sengs on your browser to allow the AcveX plug-in to be installed.
If you are using Internet Explorer with a version number lower than 6, then you will need to upgrade your Web browser soware in order to view the streaming video transmied by the Network Camera. Try also viewing the video using Java. Ensure that you have the latest version of Java installed before you do. Go to www.java.com for more informaon.
