7. Troubleshooting
- No Power/Camera Not Turning On:
- Ensure the DC12V power adapter is correctly connected and functional (if not using POE).
- For POE models, verify the Ethernet cable is connected to a POE-enabled port and the POE switch/injector is powered on.
- Check all cable connections for looseness or damage.
- No Video/Offline Status:
- Confirm the camera has power and is connected to the network.
- Check your network connection (router, switch, Ethernet cable).
- Ensure the camera's IP address is correct and not conflicting with other devices on your network.
- Restart the camera module and your network equipment.
- Verify that the iCSee/Xmeye app or VMS software is up to date and correctly configured.
- Poor Image Quality:
- Clean the camera lens.
- Adjust image settings (brightness, contrast, sharpness) in the camera's configuration.
- Ensure adequate lighting in the surveillance area.
- Check network bandwidth; low bandwidth can affect streaming quality.
- Motion Detection Not Working:
- Verify motion detection is enabled in the camera settings.
- Adjust the detection area and sensitivity.
- Ensure there are no obstructions or environmental factors (e.g., moving branches, shadows) causing false negatives or positives.
8. User Tips
- For optimal performance, ensure your network has sufficient bandwidth, especially if you plan to use multiple cameras or high-resolution streaming.
- Utilize the P2P feature for easy remote access without complex network configurations.
- Regularly review recorded footage and adjust motion detection settings to fine-tune alerts and reduce unnecessary notifications.
