4. Network Connection
4.1 Connecting Mode
Direct connection: Connect the camera to a computer via network connecting cable directly to the camera ethernet port.
Ethernet connection mode: Connect the camera to a Router or Switch so that the user can log in the device by the browser.
Note: Please do not place the power and network cables in a place where it can be easily touched or disturbed to prevent lowering the video quality through unstable signal transmission due to poor contact of cables.
The computer must have the network segment which the camera IP address belongs to. The device will not be accessible without this segment. E.g. The camera default IP address is 192.168.5.163, segment 5 must be added within the TCP/IPv4. Specific steps are as below:
Firstly open the window of Local Area Connection Properties on the computer. Select the "Internet Protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4)" as shown in the picture below. Double click or click the property "Internet" protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) to enter into the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window. Select "Advanced" to enter into the Advanced TCP/IP Setting and add IP and subnet mask in the IP browser as pictured below. Click the "Confirm" to finish the adding of the IP segment.

6. Camera Maintenance and Troubleshooting
6.1 Camera Maintenance
1) If thecamera is not in use for and extended period of time, please turn off the power adapter switch and an unplug the AC plug from the mains wall plug.
2) Only use a soft cloth or tissue to clean the camera cover.
3) Only use a soft cloth to clean the lens. Use a neutral cleaner if stubborn dirt is present. Do not use a strong or corrosive cleaner.
6.2 Troubleshooting
1) No video output
A. Check whether the camera power supply is connected and if the power indicator is lit.
B. Check whether the camera completes self test once restarted.
C. Check whether the DIP switch is in normal operating mode (see Table 2.2 and Table 2.3)
D. Check whether the video output cable or video display is functional.
2) No image
Check whether the video output cable or video display is functional
3) Image dithering when zooming in or zooming out
A. Check whether the camera installation position is solid
B. Check whether there is machine vibration around the camera
4) Remote control not working
A. Check Remote control address is set to 1 (if the machine is set back to the factory defaults the remote control addresses need to be set back to 1.)
B. Check if the batteries are still functional and not depleted.
C. Check if the camera mode is the normal operating mode (see Table 2.2 and Table 2.3)
D. Check if the menu is closed as camera control through remote controller is only available after exiting the menu. If the video output is via LAN, the menu will not be displayed and menu will automatically exist after 30 seconds. Only after this has happen can the camera be controlled via the remote controller.
5) Serial control not working.
A. Check whether the camera serial device protocol, baud rate and address is set correctly.
B. Check whether the control cable is properly connected.
C. Check whether the camera mode is in the normal operating mode (see Table 2.2 and Table 2.3)
6) Cannot login via the Webpage
A. Check whether the camera is displaying normally.
B. Check whether the network cable is connected properly (Ethernet port yellow light will flash to indicate normal network cable connection)
C. Check whether your computer is within the correct IP segment and that the segment is consistent with the IP address of the camera.
D. Troubleshooting IP connection from Windows Command Prompt.
Click "Start" menu button in windows OS and select "Run". Then type "cmd" in the text window and click "OK" to enter the DOS command prompt window.
Type in "ping 192.168.5.163" (default address) or 'Ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx if an alternate IP address was previously configured. The system will return a message "Reply from 192.168.5.163: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64" if successful IP connection exists.
If system returns a message “Reply from 192.168.5.163: Destination host unreachable.”, the recheck network connections and IP address.
