CONFIGURING THE SURVEILLANCE SOFTWARE CONFIGURING VIDEO

3.2.2 Configuring Video

There are five features that can be set to configure how video is managed by the software. The first three features are codecs which affect how the video is recorded, the fourth sets the parameters for the camera‟s night vision.

M-JPEG

Adjust the video resolution, quality and frame rate settings on the M-JPEG configuration screen.

To view the video features, click on the Video menu item. To view the settings of the individual features, hover the mouse cursor over the menu label.

Video Quality

DESCRIPTION

Changes video quality. There are five levels of video quality from lowest to highest. Selecting a higher value will provide better video quality but requires more network bandwidth.

Changes video frame rate. Available options are from 1 to 30, which indicate how many video frames this camera will transmit every second. A higher frame rate provides a smoother viewing expe- rience, but requires more network bandwidth. If you are using this video camera on a low bandwidth network, a lower frame rate value is recommended.

APPENDIX A TROUBLESHOOTING

Appendix A

A.1 Troubleshooting

This information lists the most common troubleshooting questions. Before contacting the dealer, review this material first. This may help you to solve the problem by yourself and therefore saves your valuable time.

SCENARIO POSSIBLE SOLUTION

I can not connect to the network camera

1. Please confirm the IP address setting of the computer you're using. If the camera and the computer are not in the same subnet, they will not be able to communicate with each other.

2. Please make sure the IP address you used to connect to the network camera is correct.

3. If you forget the IP address of the network camera, you will have to reset it to the factory default value (which is 192.168.2.3) by pressing the 'reset' button on the camera. You'll need a pen or pin to reach the reset button. Press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds, then try to connect to the network camera with the IP address '192.168.2.3' again.

4. Please make sure the network camera is correctly powered (the 'Power' LED should be on).

A-1



5. If you're trying to connect to the network camera from the Internet, please make sure the port that the network camera uses is not blocked by a firewall or other software / hardware. See Configuring Network Settings (page 3-19) for more details.

6. If the above solutions do not work, contact your dealer for help.

Image refreshes very slow 1. Try a higher frame rate setting, if it's not 30.

2. Try a lower resolution.

3. If you're connecting to this camera from the Internet, it could be caused by a slow Internet connection, instead of a problem with the camera. However, when the network connection is slow, you should use a lower frame rate / resolution.

4. Adjust the antenna if you're using a wireless connection. The antenna should be perpendicular to the ground to get the best reception, and the distance between the network camera and the computer / wireless access point should not be too far.

5. Try to adjust the 'MTU' setting if you're using PPPoE to connect to the Internet. Ask your ISP or network administrator for detailed instructions.

A-2



Network camera is not responding 1. Is the network cable or wireless connection disconnected? Please check it.

2. Unplug the power adapter from the wall socket and plug it in again after 10 seconds, then try to connect to the network camera again.

3. If the network camera is correctly powered ('Power' LED is on), but you still can not connect to the camera when you're sure the IP address is correct, please contact your dealer for help.

Image is fuzzy 1. Adjust the focus ring on the camera until the image becomes clear.

2. Use a soft cloth to clean the lens on the camera. You can use a cloth with water, but DO NOT use alcohol or other chemical solutions.

3. Try to adjust the brightness setting.

4. If there are any lights where the network camera is located, switch them on and see if the image looks better.

A-3



I set the network camera to send images by email or FTP, but nothing is received

1. If the image is sent by email, please make sure it's not blocked by any anti-spam mechanism.

2. Please make sure you have enough permission for FTP uploading (You can try this by clicking the Upload a Test File button).

3. If your SMTP server requires authentication, make sure the username and / or password of the SMTP server is correct (You can try this by clicking the Send a Test Email button).

4. Please check the log, if the FTP upload or email sending has failed, it will be logged, and this may give you some clue on how to solve the problem.

5. Change the threshold to a more sensitive setting.

I heard strange sounds when I use the pan / tilt function

1. Please check if anything has jammed the camera, and remove it.

2. If the camera does not respond to you when you're trying to use the pan / tilt function, the servo motor inside the camera may be dead. Please return the camera to the dealer and ask for help.

An external speaker is required to playback the voice received at the computer side. Nothing is heard at the camera side when I use the 'Speak to IPCam' function

The IC-3110W network camera can- Please set your wireless router or access point to use WPA2-AES encryption. Using not connect to my wireless routerdifferent encryption settings may impact camera performance and security. Please refer to your router or access point user manual for more details.
