Confirm whether the camera resolution can be used together with the monitor equipment 4. Replace the cables and make sure they are not faulty. |
3. | The camera image is severely delayed | Please use 1080p or 720p 60/50 fps rather than 25/30 fps signals. |
4. | RS-232 cannot be controlled | 1. Confirm the connection is correct (RS-232 In/ Out) 2. Please make sure the Baud rate setting is the same as the control equipment |
5. | Whether the Internet can be used for operation | Please refer to Chapter 5 Network Function Setting Description of the Internet Usage |
6. | The ONVIF software cannot find the machine | Please make sure that [System] > [Output] > [Camera ID] / [Location] on the web page uses only English letters or numbers. The ONVIF software cannot find the machine if you use special characters and space. |

8. | How to log in to the portal when you forget your account password | Please contact your Lumens distributor or service center |
9. | Tracking performance is inconsistent, likely due to long distances. | Ensure that the distance between the tracking target and the camera is within the recommended range. Refer to 5.2.12 System Settings – Control to adjust the maximum tracking distance. You can select between 12 and 14 meters. |
10. | Tracking Performance is Poor | If the distance is within the recommended range, check the following factors that might affect performance: 1. The environment is too dark. 2.
