TROUBLESHOOTING
1. No picture after providing power.
Possible power supply voltage abnormality. Check for proper power supply voltage
and polarity. Ensure that all the connecting cables and monitors are hooked up
properly.
2. Interference (hum bars) are moving through the picture.
Check the monitor and peripheral equipment used.
3. The picture background changes color continuously.
The fluorescent light’s electromagnetic field can cause color roll. This is a normal
phenomenon. Reduce the number of fluorescent lights, or increase the distance
between the camera and the fluorescent lights.
4. The picture quality is poor or “fuzzy”
This is usually due to poor quality cables or poor connections. Ensure that all the
connecting cables and monitors are hooked up properly, or switch to higher quality
connecting cables.
