Troubleshooting
No picture after providing power
Check the power connection to the power supply to the
power outlet for connectivity.
Check the power supply voltage.
Check all connecting cable and monitors for loose
connections.
Check the monitor settings
The picture has interference or ripples
This may be caused by the power supply’s arc, poor
quality cable, too long cable, or improper ground
connection.
The picture background color changes continuously
A fluorescent light’s electromagnetic field may cause
color roll. Reduce the number of fluorescent lights or
increase the distance between the camera and the lights
to reduce this effect. Use of a power supply with external
sync may solve the problem.
Blurred Image
Check the dome cover for dirt or imperfections
Check the focus to make sure adjusted correctly
Check the lens of the camera to make sure it is clean.
Only use a dry, clean lens cloth to clean the lens. Never
touch with your fingers.
Connections
1. Use a BNC connector to connect the camera’s VIDEO OUT to the monitor’s (or DVRs) VIDEO IN. Use the following
recommendations for cable types and distances:
Maximum Cable Length
Type of Coaxial Cable
RG-59/U
RG-6/U
RG-11/U
RG-15/U

2. The power is DC 12V (+/- 10%) / 350mA. Use the following recommendations for cable types and distances:

Use the formula below to calculate the power cord and power supply. “L”, “R”, “VA”, “I” shall satisfy the inequality below:
10.8 V DC ≤ VA - 2 (R x I x L) ≤ 16 V DC
L = Cord length (m or ft)
R = Resistance of copper wire (Ω/m or Ω/ft} VA = DC output voltage of power supply unit
I = DC current consumption (A).
3. Connect power supply to the camera’s POWER IN terminal.
