signal 

1.  Make sure you have plugged in the power cord. 

2.  Make sure the Service DIP switch is Off. 

3.  Make sure that the terminal point is a hub that supports IEEE 802.3at 

when connecting via PoE. 

2. 

 

There is no image 

output from VC-A50PN 

1. Check the power. 

2.  Check if DIP switch is properly set. Please refer to 

Chapter 8 DIP 

Switch Setting for related settings

3.  Make sure the display supports the output resolution; in general, the 

resolution is 1080p60/1080i60/720p60. 

4.  Replace the cables and make sure they are not faulty. 

3. 

 

VC-A50PN image is 

severely delayed 

Please use 1080p or 720p 60/50 Hz signals rather than 25/30 Hz signals. 

4. 

 

Not working after 

changes to DIP Switch 

setting 

After completing DIP Switch setting, unplug and reconnect the power cord 

and turn on the machine to change the setting. 

5. 

 

VC-A50PN cannot be 

operated by remote 

control 

1.  Please confirm if the Camera Select on the remote control can be used 

together with the IR Select on VC-A50PN. 

2.  Please prevent VC-A50PN from direct sunshine. 

3.  Make sure the energy-saving bulb and the IR touch screen are as far as 

possible in order to avoid interference. 

4.  When several VC-A50PN are connected in the same area, the operation 

of two remote controls at the same time may result in signal interference. 

It is recommended to use one remote control only.
