|---|---|---|
| Camera or pan-tilt head control does not work. | Installation site | (1) Check the power to the pan-tilt head. (2) Confirm that control cables for the pan-tilt head are connected correctly. (3) Conduct a continuity check to investigate severed cable wires and similar issues. |
| No video is displayed, or video is distorted. | Installation site | (1) Confirm that the unit is connected to other equipment correctly. (2) Check the image format setting (mode switches 3 and 4). (See 5-1-1.) |

| Cannot communicate with the operation unit. | Installation site | Confirm that the cables are connected correctly. |
| The pan-tilt head does not move. | Installation site | This may be due to an external factor such as strong wind or an obstruction. Eliminate anything that is interfering with operation and try to control the head again. |
