Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your NUROUM V403 PTZ Camera, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No image/video output | Loose cable connection, power issue, incorrect software selection. | Ensure USB and power cables are securely connected. Verify the camera is powered on. Select the V403 as the video source in your conferencing software. Try a different USB port or computer. |
| Camera not responding to remote | Remote batteries low/dead, line of sight blocked, camera in tracking mode (if applicable). | Replace remote batteries. Ensure no obstructions between remote and camera. Note that angle adjustments are not available in tracking mode; switch to manual mode if necessary. |
| Poor image quality | Insufficient lighting, dirty lens, incorrect software settings. | Ensure adequate lighting in the room. Clean the camera lens with a soft cloth. Adjust image parameters (brightness, contrast, etc.) using the NearSync software. |
