Section 5 - Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 1. What is an Network Camera? The Network Camera is a stand-alone system connecting directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. It differs from a conventional PC Camera, the Network Camera is an all-in-one system with built-in CPU and Web-based solutions providing a low cost solution that can transmit high quality video images for monitoring.
Section 5 - Troubleshooting 8. Can the DCS-3411/3430 be connected to the network if it consists of only private IP addresses? Yes, the Network Camera can be connected to a LAN with private IP addresses. 9. Can the DCS-3411/3430 be installed and work if a firewall exists on the network? If a firewall exists on the network, port 80 is open for ordinary data communication. The DCS-3411/3430 uses port 5002 for streaming audio and port 5003 for streaming video.
Section 5 - Troubleshooting 13. Noisy images occur. How can I solve the problem? The video images might be noisy if the Network Camera is used in a very low light environment. To solve this issue you need more lighting. 13. The images appear to be of poor quality, how can I improve the image quality? Make sure that your computer’s display properties are set above 256 colors. Using 16 or 256 colors on your computer will produce dithering artifacts in the image, making the image appear to be of poor quality.
