Installation Problem Solution
Camera suction cup comes
free from the window
 Clean the window to ensure an airtight fit.
 With your fingertip, place a very light layer of vegetable or olive oil around the edge of
the suction cup.
 Always use the strain relief mini-suction cup for added safety by attaching it to the
glass and cable.

Setup Problem Solution
After a few minutes or even
seconds Werks drops my
camera
 On older machines (pre 2001), some USB sockets may be underpowered or
incompatible with the USB 1.1 standard. Upgrade your computer by adding a USB 2.0
card or hub.
 Check your firewall settings. Some firewalls close communications after a few seconds
of operations.
The cable connecting the
camera to the power supply is
too short
 You may purchase a longer Ethernet cable or Ethernet Cable Coupler at our online
accessory store.
 Purchase a standard CAT5e Ethernet cable from you local computer accessory retailer
(up to 80 feet). (Note: crossover CAT5 cables will not work with our system.)
My primary camera is shown
in the second camera
position
From the Live Mode, click on a video panel and drag it to the panel you want it to
display. This rearranges camera order.
My cameras are recording too
frequently
 Reduce camera motion Sensitivity on the Setup>Recording dialog.
 Reduce the size or number of motion zones.
My camera is not following my
recording schedule
 Ensure the camera ON/OFF button on the main screen is ON.
 Verify that your computer clock is correct.
 Check your recording schedule to validate the days-of-the-week and times. Remember
12AM is midnight, not noon.
 Check your recording schedules to ensure you do not have overlapping schedules that
conflict.
I do not know my SMTP
account information
 Contact your email provider for details on connecting to their SMTP server. You can
usually find this information on your email provider’s Internet support page.
 Create a new email account using gMail or other email services that supports SMTP
(www.gmail.com).
My alert emails are being
rejected because of size
Most email providers limit the maximum size of emails and limit the cumulative size of
all emails in your system.
 Delete or archive outdated emails from your system.
 Contact your email vendor to have them configure your account for larger email
messages.
 Select a smaller alert message type. The “Send Text Message” is smallest and the
“Send Video Frame” email is usually about 50KB.
I am getting too many email
messages
Werks sends an email alert when a camera detects motion and the length of the motion
meets or exceeds your settings. To reduce the number of messages, you can:
 Reduce recording events by reducing motion sensitivity or changing motion zones on
the Setup>Recording dialog.
 Increase the Minimum Motion time on the Setup>Email dialog.
 Increase the Maximum Frequency time on the Setup > Email dialog.
