4. In the field next to Time, enter an amount of time in seconds. This will determine how long the PTZ camera looks at the preset area before switching to the next preset in a cruise.
5. Click Save to confirm the current preset point.
6. Click + to move to the next preset number in the No. field. Repeat for as many preset points as you wish to add.

NOTE • Each preset viewing area you add to the system must have a unique ID number (No.). Using the same ID number as an existing preset will result in the old preset being overwritten. • To cycle through preset viewing points automatically, click to start PTZ Cruise. Ensure you have enabled cruise on the selected PTZ camera (see 7.1 Controlling the PTZ camera, page 20 for details). • Click to delete a preset.

Troubleshooting

There is no picture at night.

- Camera is capable of seeing in extremely low light conditions (0.2 Lux), but it cannot see in total darkness. It is recommended to install the camera where there is some ambient light (e.g. street lighting, starlight, moonlight, etc.) or leave a light on in the area where the camera is installed.

No image at startup.

• The camera may take up to 1 minute to power up after being connected to the NVR. Wait 2 minutes before following steps below.
• Check to ensure your camera is properly connected (see 3 Connecting the Camera).
• Ensure the camera is connected to a router on the same network as the NVR.
• If the camera is connected to the LAN, you must search your network for cameras using the NVR. See your NVR's instruction manual for details.
• Make sure that the cable run is within the limitations specified in 3 Connecting the Camera. All Ethernet cables must be rated CAT5e or higher.
• If using the power adapter (not included), connect the power adapter to a different outlet.
• Ethernet cable may be damaged or not connected properly. Check your cable run or try a different cable.
• Reset the camera to factory default settings. See 10 Resetting the Camera for details.

No image or camera image is unclear.

- Dome cover is dirty. Clean the dome cover with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use anything other than water to clean the dome cover, as chemicals such as acetone can permanently damage the plastic.

Image is distorted.

• Digital zoom is activated. Activating digital zoom may reduce the resolution of the camera image. Zoom out completely to return to the camera's optimal resolution. See 6.1 Controlling the PTZ Camera for instructions on using the zoom controls.
• Image may become unclear when camera is tilted too close to the camera base (e.g. pointed parallel to the ceiling). Tilt the camera using NVR PTZ controls.

Image is too bright.

• Ensure your camera isn't pointed directly at a source of light (e.g. sun or spot light).
• Check your NVR's brightness and contrast settings.
• Move your camera to a different location.

Image is too dark.

• Check your NVR's brightness and contrast settings.
• Move your camera to a different location.

NVR motion detection is constantly triggering.

- Turn off motion detection on the channel the PTZ camera is connected to. NVRs use video motion detection, which means they detect motion by looking for changes between frames (images) in the video. If the camera is moving, the NVR will detect this as motion.

Resetting the Camera

The camera features a hard reset button that is used to reset all camera settings back to the default values. This is useful in case you want to revert camera image settings back to the default values.

To reset the camera:

1. Connect the camera as detailed in 3 Connecting the Camera. Make sure the camera is powered on.
2. Use the Allen key included with the camera mounting kit to loosen the dome camera cover screws (x3). Remove the dome camera cover.
3. Press and hold the reset button below the camera module for at least 10 seconds to reset the camera to default settings.
