Problem Possible Solutions

My camera does not auto-discover

Videos are slow

My camera appears disconnected

4. If your camera is integrated with DW Spectrum via ONVIF, make sure ONVIF is enabled on your camera.

5. Try adding the camera manually.

6. Try rebooting the server after installation. Allow up to 2 minutes for the server to map your network and detect all supported devices.

4. Make sure your camera is using the latest rmware available.

5. Make sure that the camera is connected to the same network as the server.

6. If you are connecting to a camera that is integrated with DW Spectrum via the ONVIF protocol (see list), make sure ONVIF is enabled.

7. Make sure your user has permissions to view that specic camera.

1. Do you have network connection between client and server (in case server and client are not on the same machine)?

2. Make sure your user has playback viewing permissions for the selected channel.

3. Make sure the camera is set to a recording mode that would provide recorded video for the selected time and environment.

4. On the server side, check the media server log to make sure the camera you are trying to watch has not been unexpectedly disconnected.
