Note: The modification is only valid when the menu is exited before saving and powering off.
1). Menu Control
【MENU】: Enter / exit the OSD menu or return to the previous menu
【HOME】: Enter next menu
4.1 Network Connection
Direct connection: Connect the camera and computer via a network cable.
Internet connection mode: Connect the camera to the Internet via Router or Switcher. User can login to the device via the browser web page.
Note: Please do not put the power cable and network cable in places where can be easily handled to prevent video signal transmission becoming unstable due to poor contact of cables.
The computer must have the network segment that the camera IP address belongs to. The device will not be accessible without the segment. The camera default IP address is 192.168.5.163, segment 5 must be added in the computer. Visca Port: Set Visca port, the device will restart automatically after change (default 1259; 0-65535 optional).
Firstly open the window of Local Area Connection Properties on computer, select the “Internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4)”. 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. Click the “Confirm” to finish the adding of IP segment. User can add the corresponding network segment according to the revised IP address of the camera.
Note: The IP address to be added cannot be same with that of other computers or devices. The existence of this IP address needs to be verified before adding.
To verify whether the network segment has been successfully added, click the "Start" and select "Command Prompt" to enter CMD, then click CONFIRM and open DOS command window, ping 192.168.5.26 and press Enter key to display information as shown below:

6. Maintenance and Troubleshooting
6.1 Maintenance
1) Please power off the camera and disconnect the power adapter and socket if it's not used for n extended period of time.
2) Use a soft cloth to clean the camera cover.
3) Wipe with a soft, dry cloth when cleaning the camera lens. Wipe gently with a mild detergent if needed. Do not use strong or corrosive detergents to avoid scratching the lens and affecting the video quality.
6.2 Troubleshooting
1) No video output
a. Check whether the camera power supply is connected, if the voltage is normal, and if the power indicator is lit.
b. Whether the camera could do a self-check after restarting.
c. Check whether the bottom of the DIP switch is the normal operating mode (see Table 2.2 and Table 2.3)
d. Check whether the video output cable or video display is normal
2) No image
a. Check whether the video output cable or video display is normal
3) Video dithering when zoom-in or zoom-out
a. Check whether the camera installation position is solid
b. Whether there is vibrating machine or objects around the camera
4) Remote control does not work
a. Remote control address is set to 1. If the machine is set back to the factory default, remote control addresses need to be put back to 1 too.
b. Check whether the batteries are in the remote controller or if they are low.
c, Check that the camera working mode is in normal operating mode (see Table 2.2 and Table 2.3)
d. Check if the menu is closed. Camera control through remote controller is only available after exiting the menu. If video output is from LAN, menu will not be displayed, menu will automatically exist 30 seconds later, then it can be controlled by remote controller.
5) Serial port not working
a. Check whether the camera serial device protocol, baud rate, and address is consistent.
b. Check whether the control cable is connected properly.
c. Check whether the camera working mode is in normal operating mode.
6) Web pages cannot log in
a. Check if the camera outputs video normally by connecting directly to the screen via HDMI or SDI outputs
b. Check whether the network cable is connected properly (Ethernet port amber light flashes to indicate normal network cable connection)
c. Check that your computer is in the same IP and Subnet range and that the range is consistent with the IP address of the camera.
(Camera IP Address is briefly displayed on HDMI output on boot up of camera)
d. Click "Start" and select "Run" and then type "cmd" into the computer; Click "OK" then turn on a DOS command window and type 'ping 192.168.5.163'. Press the Enter key to see message as follows: (below image show network connection is normal)
