Important Safeguards
In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacturing process of
your video product, safety is a major factor in the design of every instrument. However, safety is
your responsibility too. This sheet lists important information that will help to assure your
enjoyment and proper use of the video product and accessory equipment. Please read them
carefully before operating and using your video product.
Installation
1. Read and Follow Instructions - All the safety and
operating instructions should be read before the
video product is operated. Follow all operating
instructions.
2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings - Comply with all warnings on the
video product and in the operating instructions.
4. Polarization - Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug.
A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other.
A grounding type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong.
The wide blade or the third prong
are provided for your safety.
If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
5. Power Sources - This video product should be
operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply to your location, consult
your video dealer or local power company. For video
products intended to operate from battery power, or
other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
6. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets of
extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire
or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension
cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire
insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They
may result in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically
examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates
damage or deteriorated insulation, have it replaced
by your service technician.
7. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should
be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the video product.
8. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the case are
provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation
of the video product and to protect it from
overheating. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the video equipment on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. This video product should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register. This video product should not be placed in a
built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the video
product manufacturer’s instructions have been
followed.
9. Attachments - Do not use attachments unless
recommended by the video product manufacturer as
they may cause a hazard.
10. Camera Extension Cables – Check the rating of
your extension cable(s) to verify compliance with
your local authority regulations prior to installation.
11. Water and Moisture - Do not use this video product
near water. For example, near a bath tub, wash
bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool and the like.
Caution
operated equipment or accessories connected to
this unit should bear the UL listing mark of CSA
certification mark on the accessory itself and should
not be modified so as to defeat the safety features.
This will help avoid any potential hazard from
electrical shock or fire. If in doubt, contact qualified
service personnel.
12. Accessories - Do not place this
video equipment on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, or table. The
video equipment may fall, causing
serious damage to the video
product. Use this video product
only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the

combination should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the video product and cart combination to
overturn.
21. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any
kind into this video product through openings as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or
“short-out” parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
video product.
22. Lightning - For added protection for this video
product during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage
to the video product due to lightning and power line
surges.

required, have the service technician verify that the
replacements used have the same safety
characteristics as the original parts. Use of
replacements specified by the video product
manufacturer can prevent fire, electric shock or
other hazards.

Troubleshooting
10. TROUBLESHOOTING
Can’t find the camera IP address using Syncro-V or other software:
• Make sure Ethernet and/
the camera.
• Make sure the PoE switch or D C p ow er so ur ce meets the camera’s power
requirements (class 3 PoE / 450mA / 5.4W / 12V). If using PoE, make sure
the PoE switch is powered on.
• Make sure the PC is on the same network as the camera. Ping the
camera’s IP address. On your PC, go to Start > Programs > Accessories
> Command Prompt. Type ping then the camera’s local IP address and
press Enter. If you get the message “Request timed out,” PC and camera
are not on the same network or camera is not connected. Camera is
connected if you receive replies.
• Connect the BNC test cable to the camera and the other end to a test
monitor. The monitor display shows the camera’s IP address. A default
IP address of 192.168.0.120 may mean that the camera cannot obtain an
IP address from the router. Check the Ethernet/power connections and
router configuration.
or DC power cables are correctly connected to
• Camera set for static IP mode using an incorrect IP address. By default,
the camera is set for DHCP mode, which means it will automatically obtain
an IP address from your router. Reset the camera to factory default
settings by removing the camera cover and pressing the reset button for
5 seconds or more.
Can’t connect to the camera on a web browser using local IP address:
• See steps above.
• Verify the camera’s local IP address using one of the methods listed in
“4. Finding the Camera’s IP Address” on page 9.
63
Troubleshooting
Can’t connect to camera on a web browser using a DDNS address:
• Digimerge DDNS address entered incorrectly into the addr
ess bar. Make
sure to enter http://, the Domain Name you received in the confirmation
email, followed by colon, and the HTTP port number of the camera (e.g.
http://tomsmith.digimerge.net:80
).
• DDNS account not created. Go to http://www.ddns.digimerge.net and
create a DDNS account, and then input the DDNS account information
into the camera DDNS page (Network Service>DDNS).
• DDNS information not configured on camera. See “6.11.1 DDNS” on
page 46.
• Port forwarding not set up. Make sure the HTTP port (default: 80) and
Control port (default: 30001) are forwarded on your router to the camera’s
local IP address.
• Multiple cameras using same port number to connect. Configure each
camera to use different ports and port forward the new ports (see “6.7.2
Device Port” on page 29 for details on changing camera ports).
Can’t connect to camera video on a web browser:
• If using IE, make sure to install ActiveX plug-in or Adobe Flash Player.
For more information, see “6.3 Internet Explorer® Setup” on page 20.
• If using a browser other than IE (e.g. Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla
Firefox), make sure latest version of Adobe Flash Player is installed.
Video performs poorly on browser:
• Insufficient bandwidth available for high-quality stream1. Select st
ream2
under Stream. Stream2 provides a lower-resolution to conserve
bandwidth and improve performance on low-bandwidth connections.
• If using IE, click the message above the video area to use ActiveX plug-in
instead of Flash Player. ActiveX may provide smoother video
performance.
User account is locked:
• User accounts are locked when the password has been incorrectly
entered 3 times. To unlock the account, login to the camera web interface
as admin. Click Pri
vilege Manager>User. Under User, select the locked
user account and click Unlock to unlock the account.
