3.5 IP camera SD card Troubleshooting
1. Check if the SD card position is correct or not. Please refer to the manual for the related
information.
2. After powering the IP camera on, correctly insert the SD card, and a little icon of "SD" will show
up in the upper-right corner of the monitor screen. If not, it means the device detection has failed.
Please contact your technical support and ignore the following steps.
3. If no cross sign appears beside the "SD" icon, please go on to the next step. If a cross sign
appears, please check the following:
a. Is it really an SD "Memory" Card?
b. Is this SD card formatted in the FAT16 format?
c. Connect the SD card with a PC and test to see whether the PC can read the data or not.
d. Does this SD card still have the capacity for storing data?
e. Is the SD card set to write?
If all the answers are "yes" but the cross sign still persists, please contact your technical support
and ignore the following steps.
4. Please make sure the function of "SD CARD ENABLE" is activated in the ALARM and
SCHEDULE pages if no cross sign appears beside the "SD" icon on the screen.
5. After recording, read the data on the web page of "sdget.htm". If the data cannot be read through
the network, please read it instead in a PC, check the data stored in the "IPXCAM" directory and
contact your technical support regardless of whether there is data or not.
WARNING
1. Performing this troubleshooting process may need a monitor, a PC, a card reader and
some cables.
2. If the SD card is removed while storing or accessing data, the data will be lost.
3. If there is a cross sign beside the "SD" icon, it means the SD card has been inserted into
the IP camera but cannot perform its writing function. Possible reasons are:
4. Turn off the power before inserting the SD card. Otherwise the unit may shut down.
:
a. It is not an SD memory card.
b. The SD card is unformatted or formatted in a non-FAT16 or non-FAT12 format.
c. The file system is damaged.
d. The capacity of the SD card is full.
e. The SD card is set to be read only.

4.2 Configure Your IP camera Network Settings
Upon connecting with the network hardware, you need to activate the network function and
configure the proper network settings of the IP camera.
4.2.1 Enable DHCP Function
This function can only work if the LAN, which the unit is connected to, has a DHCP server. If the
DHCP server is working, please move the dip switch points up to 3 on the flank panel; now the IP
camera will obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server. In that case, please skip
section 4.2.2 (Set IP address) and follow section 4.3 (TCP/IP Communication Software).
4.2.2 Set IP Address
You need to set an IP address for the unit if the LAN unit isn’t connected to a DHCP server.
Otherwise, please follow the instructions given below:
Set the IP, MASK and GATEWAY. The following is a sample setting.
IP: 192.168.1.X
MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 0.0.0.0
NOTE: When only one unit of the IP camera is connected to a computer or LAN, you can
freely assign an IP address for the IP camera. For example, there is a range of IP
camera IP addresses from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. You can pick one for use
from the range of the IP. It’s not necessary to set MASK and GATEWAY; leave the
settings as default.
When an IP camera is connected to a WAN, you must acquire a unique,
permanent IP address and correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY settings
according to your network architecture. If you have any questions regarding
those settings, please consult a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
17
NOTE: When connecting to a network, each connected IP camera must be assigned a
unique IP, which must be in the same class type as your network address. IP
addresses are written as four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example,
192.168.1.1 Therefore, if the connected network is identified as Class C, for
example, the first three sets of numbers of the IP camera IP address must be the
same as the network address. If the connected network is identified as Class B,
the first two sets of numbers of the IP camera IP address must be the same as the
network address. If you have any questions regarding these settings, please
consult a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
