|
|
|
Image too dark or too light | Check the video image settings. See the online help on Video and Image Settings. |
|
|
Decreased image quality in zoomed in view | The camera requires sufficient light to deliver good image quality in zoomed in view. Better indoor lighting will |
| increase image quality. |
|
|
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. |
|
|
Slow image update | Configuring, e.g. |
| performance of the camera. |
|
|
Poor performance | Poor performance may be caused by e.g. heavy network traffic, multiple users accessing the unit, low perfor- |
| mance clients, use of features such as Motion Detection, Event handling, Image rotation other than 180 degrees. |

Problems uploading files
Limited space

There is only limited space available for the upload of your own files. Try deleting existing files to free up space.
Changes in luminance
No audio
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 triggered mistakenly. Lower the sensitivity setting to avoid problems with luminance.
Incorrect setup | Check the sound card in the PC. Ensure that the mute button is not pressed and the volume settings are correct. |
|
|
No audio or very poor audio quality | Check that the correct Audio Input source is selected under Setup > Audio > Source. Select Microphone for the |

Too many users | Too many users/clients connected to the camera may affect the sound quality adversely. Try limiting the number |
| of clients allowed to connect under Basic Configuration > Users. |
|
|
CPU overloaded | Reduce the number of listeners and viewers and decrease the image resolution and compression. |
|
|
Unsynchronized audio and video | It is recommended that the camera's time setting is synchronized with an NTP Server. This is enabled under Sys- |
| tem Options > Date & Time. |
|
|
