4.2 Troubleshooting

If the IP camera is not working properly, before you contact the dealer of purchase for help, please

check the troubleshooting list here, this may help you to solve the problem by yourself and therefore

saves your valuable time.

Scenario

Possible Solution

I can not connect to IP

camera

a. Please confirm the IP address setting of the computer you

’re

using. If they

’re not in the same subnet, they will not be able to

communicate with each other.

b. Please make the IP address you used to connect to the IP

camera is correct.

c. If you forget the IP address of the IP camera, you will have to

reset it to factory default value (which is 192.168.2.3) by

pressing

‘reset’ button at the bottom of the IP camera. You’ll

need a pen or pin to be able to press the reset button. Press and

hold reset button for 5 seconds, then try to connect to the IP

camera with IP address

‘192.168.2.3’ again.

d. Please make sure IP camera is correctly powered (the

‘Power’

LED should be on).

e. If you

’re trying to connect to the IP camera from Internet,

please make sure the port that IP camera uses (Video and HTTP

port, see section 2.3.1) is not blocked by firewall or other

software / hardware.

f. Contact dealer of purchase for help, if above solutions do not

work.

Image refreshes very

slow

a. Try a higher frame rate setting, if it

’s not 30.

b. Try a lower resolution.

c. If you

’re connecting this camera from Internet, it could be

caused by a slow Internet connection, and it

’s not a problem

caused by camera. However, when the network connection is

slow, you should use lower frame rate / resolution.

d. Adjust the antenna if you

’re using wireless connection. The

antenna should be perpendicular to the ground to get best

reception, and the distance between IP camera and computer /

wireless access point should not be too far.

e. Try to adjust

‘MTU’ setting if you’re using PPPoE to connect to

Internet. Ask your ISP or network administrator for detailed

instruction.

IP camera is not

responding

a. Is the network cable or wireless connection disconnected?

Please check it.
