FAQs
What is 960H resolution?
960H is an analog video resolution that offers approximately 30% more horizontal pixels than standard D1 resolution, resulting in clearer and more detailed images for analog CCTV systems.
Can this camera be used with an IP NVR?
No, this is an analog camera and requires a 960H Analog DVR. It is not compatible with Network Video Recorders (NVRs) designed for IP cameras.
What is the maximum zoom capability?
The camera features a 22X optical zoom, which allows you to magnify the image without losing digital quality. It also has a digital zoom capability, but optical zoom is recommended for the best image clarity.
How is the PTZ control managed?
PTZ control is managed through an RS485 interface using protocols like Pelco D, which connects to a compatible DVR. This allows remote control of pan, tilt, and zoom functions.
What is the effective night vision range?
The camera provides true night vision up to 100 meters (328 feet) thanks to its Intelligent Auto Switch with IR-Cut technology.
Does the camera need special wiring?
Yes, for optimal performance and to avoid underpowering, it is recommended to use an 18-gauge wire for power transmission.
What is the warranty period for this camera?
The product comes with a 1-year warranty on parts.
Troubleshooting
Camera does not power on
Verify power supply voltage and polarity. Ensure the power cable is securely connected and at least 18-gauge wire is used for sufficient current delivery.
No video signal
Check the coaxial cable connection at both the camera and DVR. Ensure the DVR is set to the correct input channel and video standard (NTSC/PAL).
PTZ controls (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) are unresponsive
Confirm the RS485 cable is correctly wired (A/B or +/–). Verify the DVR's PTZ settings match the camera's protocol (Pelco D) and address. Ensure the DVR has power supplied to its RS485 ports.
Poor image quality at night
Ensure the IR LEDs are not obstructed. Clean the lens. Verify that the camera has switched to night mode; IR-Cut filter might be obstructed or malfunctioning.
Camera overheating or underpowering
Use a higher gauge power wire (18 AWG recommended) to ensure adequate voltage reaches the camera, especially over longer distances. Check ambient temperature if overheating.
