Can’t connect to camera on a web browser using a DDNS address:

• Port forwarding not set up. Make sure the HTTP port (default:

80)

and Control port (default:

30001) areforwarded on yourrouter 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 25 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 16.
• 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

stream2 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

Privilege Manager>User. Under User,

select the locked user account and click

Unlock to unlock the

account.

9. TROUBLESHOOTING

Can’t find the camera IP address using NVMS or other software:

• Make sure Ethernet and/or DC power cables are correctly connected to

the camera.

• Make sure the PoE switch or DC power source 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.

• Camera set for static IP mode using an incorrect IP address. By default,

thecameraisset for DHCP mode, which meansit 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 7.
