Troubleshooting and error codes
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Cannot connect to an IP camera through a web browser. | Incorrect PC operating system or browser, wrong IP address, PC not on the same LAN, invalid port number, or restricted IP address. | Ensure correct OS/browser, IP address, and port number. Verify PC is on the same network. Check IP filter settings. |
| Cannot log in to the IP camera as the administrator. | Incorrect credentials or forgotten administrator password. | Use correct case-sensitive credentials (admin for username). Perform factory reset if password is forgotten and reconfigure. |
| Configuration windows do not display when you click the Setup link. | Exited browser without logging out, causing a delay. | Wait up to 2 minutes and try again. |
| Motion detection feature does not send e-mail alerts. | E-mail alert feature not configured properly, or SMTP server is filtering emails. | Configure e-mail alerts correctly. Try a different SMTP server or check with ISP if blocked. |
| Motion detection video files do not show moving objects. | Motion detection may not be accurately detecting motion due to frame comparison. | Avoid sudden light changes and camera movement. Ensure secure mounting. May not work well outdoors. |
| Blurry images when viewing video. | Dirty lens, improper back focus adjustment, or suboptimal video settings. | Clean the lens. Adjust back focus. Configure video settings for optimal clarity. |
