Connects to a PC or a network via a hub with a 10 BASE-T/100 BASE-
TX cable attached RJ-45 connector.
Note:
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that integrates power into
a standard LAN infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to the
network device, such as a network camera, using the same cable as
that used for network connection. It eliminates the need for power
outlets at the device locations and enables easier application of
uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).

Troubleshooting
This section provides useful information to help you to resolve any
difficulty you might have with your LG IP device. Fault symptoms, possible
causes and remedial actions are provided here.
IP Setting problems
•
ARP/Ping: Disconnect and reconnect the power to the network
camera. The device should get the IP within 2 minutes.
•
Ping your camera: Open the command prompt on your computer,
type ping with the IP address of the network device. The reply
obtained by this command provides explanation for the cause of the
problem.
1. bytes = 32 time = 2 ms indicates that the IP address is already
used and cannot reuse the same. A new IP address needs to be
obtained.
2. Destination host unreachable: indicates that the network device
and your computer do not fall in the same subnet hence needs
to get a new IP address. Contact the system administrator for the
required help.
3. Request timed out: Indicates that the IP is free as it is not used by
anyone and the network device can obtain this.
•
IP Conflicts: The other device may use th same IP address with the
LG IP device. Refer‘Ping your camera’to check the conflict and then
contact the system administrator for the required help.
53
Cannot access the camera from browser:
•
Reconnect the network camera with power and check the ping
operation to know if the IP is used by others.
•
•
Disable the proxy setting in the Browser if you are using a proxy server.
Check for proper cabling and network connections, try to ping after
verifying the connectivity.
•
Sometimes when HTTPS is enabled, we would be checking the URL
with http, in this case manually change the URL to the http/https
accordingly.
•
•
Verify the DNS and Gateway settings if the IP address is assigned
statically to the network device.
When the web page loading is failed or very slow, Check the
streaming configuration. Use H.264 codec and change frame rate,
stream quality, resolution setting.
•
If you have error at web client live view page, close browser, delete
below directory and re-connect the camera.
ex)“C:\Documents and Settings\[UserID]\WebClient”.
Accessing camera external to the local network
•
Firewall Protection: Check for the internet firewall with the system
administrator, either he has to do port forwarding or modify the DMZ
function on the router.
•
Default router needed: Check if you need configure the router
settings.
Sporadic network performance
•
Network Switches or hubs used may be of the lower configuration
and the load on this may not meet the required conditions of our
network camera.
54
•
Check for the RJ45 cables that are used for the network connectivity.
•
If POE is used check if the power is got by the network camera when
connected to it.
Login Password lost
•
Reset the camera by pressing the Reset button for more than 3
seconds to restore default settings.
•
After the factory settings login using the default username and
password.
Video Streaming problems
•
If the video streaming does not start on the Web browser, install the
LG Web Client ActiveX program on your computer following the
instructions on the Web browser.
•
•
•
When Windows IE browsers are used always take care to allow pop
ups, check this option before we run the web client.
Check the quality of image by referring the video settings as
described in the manual.
Sometimes there would be intermittent or very slow video streaming,
this may be because of the higher resolution and frame rate that are
set for the video.
•
The video streaming may appear poor at times, this may be because
of the network traffic ,too many devices connected to the switch or
hub, enabling motion detection to each of the video streams and
because of other programs running on your computer.
•
•
If the images appear to be blurred adjust the focus of the network
camera to get a clear image.
If video images appear white and black adjust the settings in the OSD
to get back the colorful image.
55
•
•
Select the Night mode if the network camera is connected at a place
where surrounding light is less or dark.
If we obtain lower frame rate than set we need to check from the
system administrator for sufficient bandwidth available or reduce the
number of applications running on the client computer.
•
If the client PC’s are unable to access the multicast stream, check with
the system administrator for the use of a valid multicast address or
check if the router is supporting multicasting.
•
•
If the images appear to have white of gray stripes on it, upgrade the
Video graphics driver on the client PC to the latest version.
Video images may be noisy if you are using the camera in a very low
light environment or the bit rate/quality is set to very low values.
Provide higher values for quality and support the surrounding
environment with enough light.
For all further support please contact the supplier or forums or websites.
