The cameras have a Status LED that indicates the hardware and operational status of the camera. The LED indicates the following behavior:

  • Flashing orange - the camera is initializing. This happens when the camera is first connected.

  • Solid orange - the camera is loading the FFC parameters from memory. This process can take up to 20 seconds.

  • Flashing green - the camera is performing a lengthy operation or is streaming video data.

  • Solid green - the camera is ready for operation.

  • Flashing red - the camera has issued a warning on the latest command received. (You will see this more often on USB cameras when you receive frame loss on the BUS)

  • Solid red - the camera has experienced an unrecoverable error. Contact Technical Support if this happens.
