 43 6. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS  1. I have forgotten the administrator username and/or password There is a [RST] button on the rear panel, keep the power on, hold the reset button for 30 seconds, it will restore back to factory default settings as below: Username: admin Password: admin NOTE: Please don’t press RST button unless you are sure you want to do it.  2. There is no picture displayed in IE browser (For IE only) It maybe the ActiveX problem,   If using the IE browser for the first time, you should install the ActiveX control, details as below: Before login, click the EzykamOCX at the right side of interface to download, save the file, run it to install the ActiveX.  3. Fail to visit IP camera via IE after upgrading (For IE Only) Solution: Clear the browser buffer. Steps:  Open  IE>click  “Tools”>  “Internet  Options”>“General”>“Delete”>  “Internet  temporary  files”,  delete  the cookies and temporary files, then click “OK” and re-login.  4. The video is not smooth Possible reason 1: The frame rate value is too small. Solution: Increase the frame rate value. Possible reason 2: Too many users are connecting to the device. Solution: Close some connection or reduce the video frame rate. Possible reason 3: Network bandwidth is too low, lots of lost packets. Solution: Reduce the video frame rate or video compression bit rate.  5. Fail to visit IP camera via IE browser Possible Reason 1: Network is disconnected. Solution: Connect your PC to network, check whether the network works well or not. Check if there’s a problem with the cable connection, or network problem caused by PC virus. Possible reason 2: IP Address has been occupied by other devices. Solution: Stop the connection between IP camera and network; connect the IP camera to PC. Directly reset IP address according to the proper operations recommended. Possible reason 3: IP addresses are in different subnets. Solution: Check IP address, Subnet masking and Gateway. Possible reason 4: Physical address of network conflicts with the IP camera. Solution: modify the physical address of IP camera. Possible Reason 5: Web port has been modified. Solution: Contact as Network Administrator to obtain related information.
 44 Possible Reason 6: Unknown. Solution:  Press  RESET  to  restore  to  factory  settings  then  connect  it  again,  the  default  IP  address  is  192.168.1.155, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0  6. The color of image is abnormal (Green or other color) Sometimes the IP camera images cannot be displayed properly because of different graphics cards, the images appears to be green or other colors, then you should run the program “Config.exe” from the downloaded OCT files. (or run C:\windows\system32\Config.exe) to set  the following parameters  for the display buffer: auto-detection, used display card memory or system memory, then run IE, connect IP camera again.  7. There is no voice while monitoring Possible Reason 1: No audio input connection. Solution: Check audio connection of the host. Possible Reason 2: the relative audio option of IP camera is OFF. Solution: Check audio parameter settings to see if you have set the audio option ON, but without external audio input.  8. Image processing doesn’t work properly Possible  Reason  1:  System  problem,  DirectX  function  is  disabled,  which  will  cause  slow  display  of  images  and abnormal color. Possible  Reason  2:  Hardware  problem,  graphics  card  doesn’t  support  image  acceleration  and  hardware  zooming functions. (For hardware issue, the only solution is to change your graphics card). Solution:  Install  DirectX  image  driver,  then  click  “Start”>”Run”>input  “dxdiag”,  set  enable  "DirectDraw Acceleration" "Direct3D Acceleration" "AGP Texture Acceleration" functions.   . Figure 13.0 Note:  If  you  are  unable  to  do  it,  it  means  your  DirectX  is  not  installed  properly  or  hardware  doesn't  support  this function.  9. Fail to use DDNS Possible Reason 1: The PC or IP Camera can’t connect to the internet.
 45 Solution: Check the internet connection and settings. Possible Reason 2: Port forward is not set in router. Solution: Set the port forward of extranet in router correctly. For  example,  if  IP  Camera  address  is:  192.168.1.100,  Media  port  is  38401,  Web  port  is  85,  factory  DDNS  is http://test.aipcam.com.    Set Port forwarding in the router.  This is an important step. You need to set port forwarding in your router, to refer to the IP of your camera correctly, for DDNS to work. There are so many kinds of routers, so it’s difficult to show fixed steps, but here are some samples of different router’s port forwarding settings, just for reference:  TP-LINK:  1. Login to the router. 2. Choose “Forwarding”, select “Virtual Servers”   3. Click the Add New button, pop-up below:    Figure 13.1  Fill in the service port (don’t use 80), IP address of the camera, then click Save NOTE: The port and IP address should be the same as the camera.  Fill in the web port, for example port 85, IP address as 192.168.1.100, click Save. (1) Repeat  step  3  above,  it  will  pop-up  the  window  again,  fill  in  the  media  port  as  25001,  IP  address  as 192.168.1.100, then save. (2) Then check the “Device Info” –“DDNS Status”,   It will show DDNS: http://test.aipcam.com:85 , input this link in IE, then you can visit this camera remotely.
 46   BELKIN:  1. Login to the router. 2. Choose “Firewall”, select “Virtual Servers” 3. Input the port (don’t use 80) and IP address, then click save. NOTE: The port and IP address should be the same as the camera.    Figure 13.2  DLINK:  1. Login to the router. 2. Choose “Advanced”, select “Virtual Servers” 3. Input the port, IP address, Protocol, and then click save. NOTE: The “public port” & “private port” should be the same as camera’s port, choose the protocol to be “both”.
