54AXIS 221 - Troubleshooting

	Poor rendering of MPEG-4 images.	Color depth set incorrectly on clients. Set to 16-bit or 32-bit color.
		If text overlays are blurred, or if there are other rendering problems, you may need to
		enable Advanced Video Rendering. This is done on the MPEG-4 tab in the AMC control
		panel applet.
		Ensure that your graphics card is using the latest device driver. The latest drivers can
		usually be downloaded from the manufacturer's web site.
		If images are degrading, try decreasing the GOV length, see Advanced settings, on page
		20.

Problems uploading files
	Limited space.	There is only limited space available for the upload of your own files. Try deleting one
		or more existing files, to free up space.
	Missing images in uploads.	This can occur when trying to use a larger image buffer than is actually available. Try
		lowering the frame rate or the upload period.
Overlay is not displayed
	Incorrect size or location of overlay.	The overlay may have been positioned incorrectly. Refer to the online help for informa-
		tion on the limitations when using image overlays and privacy masks.
Motion Detection triggers unexpectedly
	Changes in luminance.	Motion detection is based upon changes in luminance in the image. This means that if
		there are sudden changes in the lighting, motion detection may be mistakenly trig-
		gered. Lower the sensitivity setting to avoid problems with luminance.
