7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your camera, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power/No Indicator Light:
- If using POE, ensure your POE switch/NVR is powered on and the Ethernet cable is securely connected. Verify the POE port is active.
- If using a 12V DC adapter, ensure it is correctly plugged into a working power outlet and the camera. Check the adapter's functionality.
- No Video Feed:
- Verify network connectivity. Ensure the Ethernet cable is properly connected to both the camera and your network device (router/switch/NVR).
- Check if the camera is properly added and online in the NVSEE app or CMS software.
- Ensure your network settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway) are correct if manually configured.
- Poor Image Quality:
- Clean the camera lens to remove any dust or smudges.
- Ensure there is adequate lighting in the surveillance area, especially for night vision performance.
- Check video resolution settings in the software; ensure it is set to 3MP (2304x1296P).
- No Audio Recording:
- Verify that audio recording is enabled in the camera's settings within the NVSEE app or CMS software.
- Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the camera's built-in microphone.
- Remote Access Issues:
- Ensure your mobile device or computer has a stable internet connection.
