Troubleshooting

If you have problems with your System, there is often a quick and simple solution. Please try the
following:
Problem
There is no picture from a
camera.
There is interference with
the camera picture.
The picture is dropping
The picture is or has
become choppy
The picture appears to be
grainy/distorted
The picture is white
Solution
•
Check power to the Camera. Make sure the
adapter is plugged in and the red LED light on the
power adapter is on
•
Make sure that the Cameras and Receiver are
both ON.
•
Make sure that the camera is in range of the
Receiver.
•
Make sure that each camera is within range, and
that there are no large obstructions or
interference
•
Try repositioning the camera, receiver or both to
improve the reception.
•
Move the camera closer to the receiver.
•
Try repositioning the camera, receiver or both to
improve the reception.
•
The picture may become choppy when
experiencing a lower frame rate (i.e. 10 frames
per second vs. a higher 20 frames per second).
•
Try moving the camera closer to the receiver.
•
Remove obstructions between the Receiver and
Camera
•
Try switching to QVGA mode. Resolution will be
reduced but video frame rate will increase
•
When using with large screen TV/Monitor
(especially high-definition televisions), the picture
might be grainy as the camera limits video
resolution to VGA (640x480 pixels). This is not a
product defect.
•
For best performance use with TV/Monitor PIP
(Picture in Picture) function. Check your
TV/Monitor product manual to see if this feature is
available on your TV/Monitor
•
View video on a smaller screen TV/Monitor
•
Consider increasing the range of the wireless
signal with an accessory antenna (see page 17)
•
Common situation know as "washout" or
"whitewash" where a strong light source is
pointed at the camera lens. The camera lens IS
NOT harmed during a whitewash.
•
DO NOT point your camera towards a light source
