Q:
Why does a series of broad vertical white lines appear throughout
the image?
A:
It could be that the CMOS sensor has become overloaded when it has been
exposed to bright lights such as direct exposure to sunlight or halogen lights.
Reposition the Internet Camera into a more shaded area immediately as
prolonged exposure to bright lights will damage the CMOS sensor.
Q: The focus on the Internet Camera is bad, how can I correct it?
A1:
Adjust the Internet Camera focus manually as described in
Adjusting the
Internet Camera Focus
in the Appendix section of this manual (page 133).
Q:
Noisy images occur. How can I solve the problem?
A1:
The video images might be noisy if the Internet Camera is used in a very
low light environment. To solve this issue you need more lighting.
Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
Q: I connected the Internet Camera directly to a computer with a cross-
over cable Ethernet cable and received the following Windows error upon
running the Installation Wizard:
A1:
This Windows error will occur if the Internet Camera is connected to a
computer that is not properly configured with a valid IP address. Turn off DHCP
from the Network Settings in Windows and configure the computer with a valid
IP address or connect the camera to a router with DHCP enabled.
A2:
This error can also occur if the
Installation Wizard
icon is clicked on more
than once from the setup wizard.
Q:
The images appear to be of poor quality, how can I improve the image
quality?
A1:
Make sure that your computer’s display properties are set above 256 colors.
Using 16 or 256 colors on your computer will produce dithering artifacts in the
image, making the image appear to be of poor quality.
