Troubleshooting
Q: The NVR is not detecting the camera.
A: Ensure that the connection between the camera and NVR is direct - i.e. no hubs,
switches, adapters or other devices. Ensure you're using only the supplied cable. Ensure
that all cables are properly connected and secure. If this doesn't work, try using a different
channel on the NVR - reboot the system between connections to ensure a proper IP
address refresh. If this doesn't work, then try a different network cable - there may be a
breakage.
Q: I can't see anything at night!
A: There are a few possible solutions to this problem. Here are some of the most common.
•
If the image is mostly black, then this may indicate that the night vision isn't turning on.
A bright light source somewhere in the picture can fool the light sensor into thinking
it's still daytime - try re-aiming the camera.
•
If the image is mostly white, then this indicates that the IR light from the night vision is
bouncing back into the lens.
•
At night, the infrared light the camera uses to see in the dark can 'bounce back' off a
reflective surface (such as glass, water, spider webs, some ceramics and so on) and
effectively blind the camera. If you want to see outside, then the camera itself needs to
be outside!
