62D-Link DCS-5300 User Manual
Q: The focus on the Network Camera is bad, how can I correct it?
A1: Adjust the Network Camera focus manually as described in Adjusting the Network Camera Focus in the Appendix
section of this manual (page 133).
Q: Noisy images occur. How can I solve the problem?
A: 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.
Q: I connected the Network Camera directly to a computer with a cross-over cable Ethernet cable and received the
following Windows error upon running the Installation Wizard:
A1: This Windows error will occur if the Network Camera is connected to a computer that is not properly congured
with a valid IP address. Turn off DHCP from the Network Settings in Windows and congure the computer with a valid
IP address or connect the camera to a router with DHCP enabled.
A2: This error can also occur if the Installation Wizard icon is clicked on more than once from the setup wizard.
Q: The images appear to be of poor quality, how can I improve the image quality?
A1: 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.
A2: The conguration on the Network Camera image display is incorrect. Through the Advanced > Image Setting
section of the Web management you need to adjust the image related parameters such as brightness, contrast, hue
and power line frequency for uorescent light . Please refer to the Advanced > Image Setting section on Page 47
and 48 for detailed information.
