Each time the camera is powered on, it will perform a self-test to check the Pan/Tilt/Zoom
(PTZ) function. After the self-test, you can operate the camera.
Note:
1. When the working temperature is below zero degree Celsius, it may take up to 30
minutes for the camera to finish the pre-heating process.
2. If you are using your own power adapter, you may need to ground the camera using the
yellow cable (GND) on the 3-pin terminal block.
