6.1 Fault Finding Using the Camera LED
If the status LED on the back of the camera is not lit, power to the camera is not present.
When the power supply to the camera is switched on, the LED on the back of the camera will
become green colored for several seconds. As the microprocessor in the camera boots up, the
LED will blink green and orange. The frequency of blinks will increase until the LED becomes
continuously orange colored and then, the blinks will start again. A continuous orange LED
indicates that bootup has been completed successfully.
Once bootup is complete, the camera performs a continuous series of self checks. If an error
condition is detected, the LED will begin to blink. The number of blinks indicate the detected error
as shown in Table 6-1.
If several error states are present, the LED outputs the error code that has the highest priority.
To get more information about the camera’s current condition, you can check the camera status
as described in Section
3.17 .
