VISICAM
4. Operation and Troubleshooting
Operation
Once the VisiCam is installed,
operation is automatic. There are
no adjustments that you make to
the VisiCam.
The camera outputs a standard
NTSC baseband video signal. The
specifications are as follows:
• Signal Level: 1Vp-p into 75 ohms
• Horizontal Frequency: 15,750 Hz
• Vertical Frequency: 60 Hz
If the destination device does not
support the video output format,
the picture will be defective.
Troubleshooting
• Problem: No picture of any sort.
Solution: First, check your power
connection. Sometimes the
adapter is plugged into a switched
outlet: Make sure the switch is
on. Verify that the power plug is
pushed all the way into the
appropriate jack on the camera.
Next, check the video connection.
Connect the RCA video cable to a
different television or computer
monitor to check whether the
6
(interlaced)
problem is with your video output
device. You might also want to try
attaching a different RCA video
cable to the VisiCam and the
monitor.
If the problem still occurs, check
the front of the camera for
possible lens obstruction.
• Problem: The picture runs in a
horizontal or vertical direction.
Solution: Adjust the horizontal
or vertical hold on the
destination device.
If the picture is distorted
diagonally, the standards of the
equipment may be mismatched.
The VisiCam is an NTSC (video
standard for North America)
camera. The video destination
might be PAL (video standard
for Europe), instead of NTSC.
• Problem: Picture has wide
horizontal bands of varying
intensity.
Solution: The line power may
be too low. Check the power
specified on the AC transformer
to make sure it is compatible with
your local power supply.
