Troubleshooting 0
1: The camera and receiver will not pair. Why?
A: Check that both devices are turned on and the antennas are extended. Try
pairing the camera and receiver when they are close to each other before
moving the camera to a specific location.
2: Why are some of the cameras and/or screen controls not accessible?
A: Some of the controls can only be accessed when in single screen mode.
3: Why can I not access the setup and playback options?
A: The setup and playback options are disabled when in detection or web
server mode.
4: Why can’t I pan, tilt, and/or zoom?
A: The camera does not support pan, tilt, and/or zoom functions.
5: The camera and receiver are paired, but the signal is very low. Why?
A: Make sure that there are no objects that coul d be blocking or weakening the
signal. Adjusting the antenna or elevating the camera and receiver can also
improve signal strength.
6: I don’t have static IP address, can I use DDNS?
A: Yes, the programs supports access through an IP address or a DDNS
address.
7: Why does the viewer not start recording after going into detection mode?
A: Check the channel’s recording setup. Make sure that the recording options
are correct. If it is set to full-time, it should record all the time. If it is set to
triggered, it will record only when camera detects change in image displayed.
Check that the detection area and sensitivity are set to the applicable settings.
8: When the web server is enabled, I can not view the image on a remote
computer. Why?
A: Make sure the local area connection does not have a firewall blocking that
particular program and that the IP addr ess is correct.
57
Page 64
9: What does “Can not connect to following channel(s): CH**” mean?
A: The viewer can not detect the IP camera. Make sure that your network is
configured correctly.
10: What does “Can not import to the following channel(s): CH**” mean?
A: The web server could be conflicting with another IP address. Check the IP
address assignment on all your network devices.
11: What does “No buffer space error” and “Virtual RAM insufficient” mean?
A: Your computer could be running low on resources. Typically these errors
occur when the RAM is insufficient. Upgrading your memory will most likely
solve this issue. The recommended memory specifications are 1 GB of RAM.
