  If you can't see live videos from your Idis Digital Camera, first check the camera's power status. Then, verify the connection status of the DVR device. If you're using PoC (Power over Coaxial), check the connection status of the PoC device as well. Also, ensure that the camera lens cover has been removed. If you have a manual iris lens, make sure the iris is open. For a DC type auto iris lens, check the connection of the auto iris jack.

  If the images from your Idis Digital Camera are blurry, ensure the lens is clean. If it's dirty, gently clean it using a soft cloth or brush. Also, confirm that the lens is properly focused; adjust the focus during daytime for best results. If there's excessive light entering the camera or a very bright light source in view, adjust the camera's position or angle to reduce the glare.
