It can also provide a very useful tool to confirm if the IP address conflicts with the camera over the network.

  • Page 96: C Troubleshooting

    C Troubleshooting Q: I cannot access the MPEG4 Internet CCD Camera from a web browser. A: The possible cause might be the IP Address for the camera is already being used by another device. To correct the possible problem, you need to first disconnect the camera from the network.
  • Page 97 The other possible problems might be due to the network cable. Try replacing your network cable. Test the network interface of the product by connecting a local computer to the unit, utilizing a standard Crossover (hub to hub) Cable. If the problem is not solved, the camera might be faulty.
  • Page 98 Q: Why does a series of broad vertical white line appear through out the image? A: A likely issue is that the CCD sensor becomes overloaded when the light source is too bright such as direct exposure to sunlight or halogen light. You need to reposition the camera into a more shaded area immediately as this will damage the CCD sensor.
  • Page 99 Otherwise, the configuration of the camera’s image display is incorrect. You need to adjust the related parameter for improving images through the Preview window under Web Configuration Utility, such as brightness, contrast, color and flicker.
