Getting Started

Note

If the camera’s color night view mode is turned on, the image refresh rate and overall image quality may decrease. As a result, objects may not be displayed properly. In low-light environments, images may be out of focus when using the pan/tilt feature or when the subject is moving. We recommend brightening the subject or disabling color night view mode.

1.5.1If the Camera Image Does Not Appear

If the image from a camera that you registered using the Quick Setup utility does not appear, confirm that the camera is turned on and that the Ethernet cable is connected to the camera correctly. If the camera is a wireless camera with a wired/wireless switch, such as the BL-C30, and is being used in wired mode, make sure the camera’s switch is set to WIRED. If the camera is an HCM series wireless camera being used in wired mode, make sure the Ethernet cable is connected to the camera at the time the camera is turned on.

If the camera is a wireless camera with a wired/wireless switch and is being used in wireless mode, make sure the camera’s switch is set to WIRELESS. If the camera is an HCM series wireless camera being used in wireless mode, make sure there is no Ethernet cable connected to the camera at the time the camera is turned on. If the wireless signal from a wireless camera is too weak, motion images may become disrupted. Confirm the strength of the signal by pressing DISPLAY while viewing the camera.

Refer to the information on page 4 and relocate the camera if the signal is too weak.
