Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the camera lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Firmware Updates: Regularly check the GeoVision website for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect the Ethernet cable for any signs of wear or damage, especially in outdoor installations.
• Environmental Protection: The camera is IP67 weatherproof and IK10 vandal-resistant, designed for durability. However, avoid direct high-pressure water jets.

Troubleshooting

• No Power/No Image:
  • Verify the PoE connection and ensure the PoE switch/injector is functioning correctly.
  • Check the Ethernet cable for damage.
  • Ensure the camera's power indicator (if present) is lit.
• Poor Image Quality:
  • Clean the camera lens.
  • Adjust WDR Pro, defog, and 3D noise reduction settings.
  • Check network bandwidth if streaming is choppy.
  • Ensure IR LEDs are not obstructed during night mode.
• Cannot Access Camera:
  • Verify the camera's IP address and network settings.
  • Ensure the camera and viewing device are on the same network segment or properly routed.
  • Check firewall settings on your computer or network.
• Motion Detection Issues:
  • Adjust motion detection sensitivity and detection zones.
  • Ensure there are no constant movements (e.g., tree branches) in the detection zone causing false alarms.
• Camera Not Resetting: If the camera fails to reset or respond after troubleshooting, contact GeoVision technical support.
