Troubleshooting
- No Power: Ensure the PoE connection is secure or that the DC 12V power adapter (if used) is correctly connected and providing power. Check network cables for damage.
- No Video Feed: Verify network connectivity. For web browser access, ensure the necessary plug-in is installed. For NVR connections, confirm the camera is activated and properly configured via On-vif if using a third-party NVR.
- Poor Image Quality: Clean the camera lens. Check for obstructions in the camera's field of view. Ensure sufficient lighting for optimal night vision performance.
- False Motion Alarms: Adjust the AI Motion Detection sensitivity settings in the app or web interface. Ensure the detection zones are configured correctly to exclude irrelevant areas.
- Cannot Access Camera Remotely: Verify your internet connection and router settings. Ensure the Anpviz Viewer app is up-to-date and the camera is properly linked to your account.
- Camera Reset: If experiencing persistent issues, locate the reset button (often near the MicroSD card slot) and press and hold it for several seconds to restore factory default settings. You will need to reconfigure the camera after a reset.
