RC8326 Wireless Indoor Day/Night HD Camera Installation Guide
Smart IR Function
The RC8326 uses a smart IR function for night viewing. This means that
the camera automatically adjusts the IR light output and gain. As a result, if
any objects are in the close foreground of the image, the camera lowers the
IR light output to prevent overexposing those objects. The drawback of the
smart IR function is that this feature causes background objects to receive
less IR light and to be displayed with lessened detail. This result is typical for
the smart IR function.
To get the best video quality for targets at night, make sure that the
camera’s field of view does not include a large foreground object, such as
tabletop or side wall. If installing on a tabletop, place the camera as close to
the edge as possible, as demonstrated in the photos in row 1 below. If
installing on a wall, angle the camera so that a minimal portion of the wall is
visible, as demonstrated in the photos in row 2 below.
If the Camera Continually Goes Offline
If after enrolling it the camera, it continually goes offline (Power LED blinks
continually), the camera will automatically attempt to recover the wireless
connection. If the camera cannot recover on its own, take the following
measures to re-establish the Wi-Fi connection.
1.
Power cycle the camera.
2.
If the previous measure fails, move the gateway closer to the camera.
3.
If the previous measure fails, press the camera’s reset button for 15
seconds, and then re-enroll the camera into Pulse.
4.
If the previous measure fails, install a Wi-Fi Range Extender model
WN3000RPH-2ADPAS.
