Troubleshooting

Problem

Cause

Solution

Why Can I not get any picture from my camera? Camera lens is covered, category cable is faulty, or the PC is not set up to receive the video feed from the camera.
  • Remove the camera lens cover from the unit.
  • Try switching out the category cable for a new one.
  • Check the device manager of the PC to ensure the camera USB device is discovering correctly. If the device is discovered, ensure the camera is selected within the video recording program (e.g. Skype).
Why isn’t my video showing correctly? Resolution, focus, color, and/or refresh rate may be set incorrectly
  • Use the one of the control interfaces (IR, RS-232, or webGUI) to adjust the resolution, focus the camera, and switch between 50 and 60 Hz, and many other settings.
Why is my IR remote not working? There is no power or too much sunlight.
  • Ensure there are fresh batteries in the IR remote control.
  • Move the camera, so the front panel IR window is out of direct light.
