Video is not displayed
z If you want to improve the video quality, refer to Setting the Image Size, Quality, Frame 
Rate, On-Screen Display of Date and Time, etc. (Video) (  P. 1-18) in Chapter 1 Detailed 
Settings to change the settings to adjust the quality. 
z Up to 30 viewers can access the camera at the same time. If this limit has been exceeded, 
video is not displayed and a message appears. 
There is no audio
z If there is no audio, check the audio server  settings of the camera and also check the 
sound and audio device settings of the PC. 
z If you are using Admin Viewer with the Admini strator authorities, check if the camera is 
connected to VK Viewer or other viewer  that lets the Administrator use audio.
z Audio cannot be used if you are using a proxy server. 
Stream recording cannot be used
z Stream recording cannot be used if HTTP or FTP upload is selected for [ Upload] in the 
[ Upload] menu. To use stream recording, set [ Upload Disabled] under [Upload] ( P.  1 - 2 2 ) .
The camera cannot be controlled
z If you connect to Admin Viewer as an Admini strator, you will have an exclusive possession 
of the camera control privileges. If you connect to  Admin Viewer as an authorized user, you 
cannot control the camera unless the current Administrator releases the camera control 
privileges. Contact your Administrator (  P. 3-3). 
The viewer gets disconnected
z Check the network and PC for abnormality. 
z Reboot the PC and connect again.

Troubleshooting
You forgot your password
z You can initialize all settings of the camera, except for the date and time, using the reset 
switch (  P. 5-21). The Administrator password required for initialization is camera. Note, 
however, that network settings such as the IP  address and subnet mask will be initialized 
and must be set again. 
Data cannot be uploaded
z Check the upload destination in the [ Upload] menu, as well as the upload operation upon 
event in the [ Event] menu, to see if both are set correctly.
z You can perform operation check based on the cur rently set upload destination by running 
a test (  P. 1-24, P. 1-25) from the [ Upload] menu. 
z Check [ View Log Events ] in the [Maintenance ] menu or logs on the server to check the 
detailed operating environment. For [ View Log Events], see Application (uploader) 
messages (  P. 5-9). Also see Notes (  P. 1-22). 
z For the server settings, contact your System Administrator. 
Cannot save files in VBAdmin Tools
z As Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 prohibi t saving to some folders, the saving of 
files may sometimes fail. Specify another folder, such as [ Documents] or [Pictures ].
