Warranty Information

Warranty information is provided in the Certificate of Compliance & Safety Precautions & Warranty Card.

Powering the Camera On

Connect cables and power adapter, then press the power button. Video will display after about 25 seconds. The camera faces forward initially.

Checking the Status Indicator

  • Steady green: Normal operation
  • Steady orange: Sleep mode
  • Blinking orange: Camera upgrade
  • Blinking red: Fault detected or upgrading
  • Blinking green: Remote control in use

Controlling the Camera

Can be controlled via connected HD video conferencing endpoint or IR remote. Ensure video and RS232 cables are configured.

Troubleshooting and error codes

Q A
Why can't I use the PTZ to control the camera from an HD video conferencing endpoint? 1. The serial connection between the camera and the HD video conferencing endpoint is incorrect.
2. The serial port of the HD video conferencing endpoint is set incorrectly.
The camera startup diagnosis fails along with one of the following problems: (1) the camera fails to start; (2) the PTZ generates abnormal noise; (3) nothing displays on the camera screen. Why? 1. A nonstandard power adapter might be in use. The standard one provides a 12 V DC output.
2. The low-voltage connector of the camera power adapter has been reconstructed, or the cable of this power connector has been extended. Extend the cable of the power socket if the length is insufficient.
Why does the display fail (no video or black screen) after the camera has worked for a period of time? 1. Check the camera working environment. For example, check the cable connection, voltage, and heat dissipation.
2. IR remote control for configuration check: Go to Menu > Camera > Exposure to check whether the aperture is off or the shutter value is too high, resulting in underexposure. Select Restore Factory Default in the main menu to reset the parameters.
Why won't the display show any images when the camera indicator is steady orange? The camera is in the sleep mode. Press the standby button on the remote control, restart the camera, and use the corresponding Box device to wake it. Another method is to use the USB port image output (for example, a soft client joins a video conference).
Why are the USB output images unclear and the highest resolution less than 720p? Check whether the USB port on the PC supports USB 3.0 and re-plug the USB cable at both ends for verification.
If the conference client uses YUY2/NV12 uncompressed encoding, slow USB insertion will cause the USB port to be recognized as USB 2.0. The limited USB 2.0 transmission rate cannot support 720p video. In this case, a USB 3.0 connection is required. If MJPEG and H.264 are used for compressed encoding, USB 2.0 supports 720p30.
Why does the camera display video unclearly or why does the camera not automatically adjust its focus after being powered on? 1. The lens surface has dust, fingerprints, or condensation on it.
2. The camera is set to auto focus mode by its remote control. Press the Auto button on the remote control.
3. Use the recommended object-camera distance (1.5 meters or more), or try to adjust the camera angle.
Do the cameras support daisy chain cascade control? If daisy chain cascade control is supported, how are the cameras connected and controlled? How are the camera address codes set? Why are the cameras uncontrollable after they are connected? 1. The Huawei Camera 200 supports the Video System Control Architecture (VISCA) protocol and therefore can be cascaded.
2. Connection method: Use a keyboard with the VISCA protocol to connect the cameras. Connect the RS232-IN port of the first camera to the VISCA keyboard. Then connect the RS232-OUT port of the first camera to the RS232-IN port of the second camera, the RS232-OUT port of the second camera to the RS232-IN port of the third camera, and so on. Up to seven cameras can be cascaded.
3. The VISCA protocol cascades a maximum of seven cameras. The address codes are automatically negotiated and increase by 1 with each added camera.
4. If control is abnormal, check the cables and their connections. Check that the keyboard can control the first camera. If the first camera can be properly controlled but the other ones cannot, check that the cable length does not exceed 30 meters. If the fault persists, restart the keyboard and the cameras.
