Troubleshooting

Camera not powering on

Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the camera and a working power outlet. If using PoE+, verify that the network switch supports PoE+ and is configured correctly.

AI tracking is erratic or inaccurate

Ensure the subject is clearly visible and within the camera's field of view. Avoid environments with highly dynamic lighting changes. Check camera settings for optimal tracking parameters. Confirm there are no obstructions between the camera and the subject.

No video output via HDMI/SDI/USB/IP

Check that the correct input is selected on the display device. Verify cable connections are secure. Try a different cable. Ensure the camera is powered on and not in standby mode. For IP, confirm network connectivity and correct IP address configuration.

Poor video quality (blurry, pixelated)

Ensure the lens is clean. Check the zoom level and focus settings. If using digital zoom, be aware that quality may degrade. Verify the output resolution and frame rate settings are appropriate for your system.
