      Evan KellyAug 4, 2025
      If the live view is normal but the HikRobot Digital Camera cannot be triggered, it might be due to incorrect I/O wiring or the trigger mode not being enabled. First, check whether the I/O wiring is correct for the corresponding triggering mode. Second, verify that the camera trigger mode and related trigger signal input are functioning correctly.

      If the HikRobot Digital Camera is not found when running the client, this could be because the camera hasn't started up correctly, or there's a CameraLink cable connection issue. Here are some things you can check: 1. Check the camera power wiring and observe the LED indicator. 2. Check whether the CameraLink cable is normally connected via a serial port tool. 3. Try reinstalling the client.
