Camera won’t display

[BillT]

The second camera was working properly and all of a sudden in just shows a blue screen. Ideas?

 

[Bayhouse]

Does the 2nd camera show in the sensor list? Maybe the camera lost it's settings and needs to be re-programmed?

 

[BillT]

I’m not sure what the sensor list is but it shows both Camera 1 and Camera 2. Only camera 2 is just a blue screen.

 

[BillT]

How do you reprogram a camera?

 

[Johnny Electron]

What type of camera are we talking about? Axis or Composite?

 

[BillT]

Axis

 

[Johnny Electron]

Axis cameras must be configured with the correct IP address structure and other settings per the Axis document posted under the particular TZT model in question. Bayhouse talks about reprogramming in the way that the camera must be configured properly before use. It can't not have the same IP as the first etc..

Thanks but it was working fine about 2 weeks ago and then just quit.

 

[Johnny Electron]

If configured and working and now not, then I would check the cables and power used by the Axis. If still nothing, I would recommend seeing if you can talk to the camera by PC. Because it is wired by Ethernet, if the MFD is talking fine to other network items, it wouldn't be a network port failure on the MFD. It is most likely related to the cables or Camera.
