If Milesight network cameras receive power but are not visible to the tester, the connection features to check include:

1. Ethernet Port – Ensure the Ethernet cable is properly connected to the network.
2. General I/O Terminal Block – Verify if external input/output devices are correctly connected.
3. Reset Button – Press and hold for 5 seconds to restore factory settings in case of configuration issues.
4. Video Output – Check if the video output is properly connected to a display.
5. RS-485 Port – Used for PTZ control; ensure compatibility and correct wiring.
6. Alarm Input/Output – Confirm if alarm devices are affecting camera visibility.
7. Error LED – If lit, it indicates a startup or runtime error.

These features should be checked to ensure proper connectivity and functionality.
