7 Troubleshooting
7.1 Camera Rebooting / Turning Off
A. Check the voltage ofthe camera (under load) ifbelow 10.8V then move the power supply
closer to the camera.
B. For 12V DC cameras only ever use regulated power supply rated at above 750mA, 1A
would be recommended. So that the camera is always receiving the correct supply.
C. Use thicker gauge copper cabling to reduce the voltage drop.
7.2 Poor Quality Images
A. Check the fly-lead is set to the correct output – see 4-In-1 Technology
B. Ifset to CVBS, then this is a low qualityvideo output for legacy systems (Analogue), when
using a 2 MegaPixelDVR or above then use another video format, like HD-TVI.
C. Reset the camera menu via Zip Coaxitron – OSD Menu
D. Check ifyour recorder supports the resolution ofthe camera.
7.3 Image is Black & White
A. Check the video format your DVR supports, then set the camera to the relevant video format
– see the 4-In-1 Technology
B. Reset the camera menu via Zip CoaxitronOSD Menu
C. Check the recorder supports the resolutionofthe camera.
7.4 NCD / No Image Displayed on Recorder
A. Test that the camera has the correct voltage supplying it, this must be done withthe camera
connected so that there is load onthe PSU. A 12V DC camera should have at least 10.5V DC
connected to it.
B. The camera can not functionwithout the correct power supply. For 12V DC cameras only
ever use regulated power supplies to ensure that the camera is always receiving the correct
voltage.
C. Ensure that the BNC – BNC lead that is connected betweenthe camera and DVR has no
shorts or open circuits.
