    Possible causes and solution(s)

    In large parts of the zoom range the camera simply does not focus, this is the same for manual PTZ and pre-sets.

    Please proceed with following steps:

    1. Update the camera to latest Firmware
    2. Power cycle the camera
    3. Factory default it
    4. -> check behavior, if still poor focus, then:
    5. Connect camera directly to a computer in an isolated network (to avoid that a possible connected VMS pushes a config to the camera)
    6. Perform a hard reset using the reset button on the camera, see instructions from the manual:

      Steps to complete a hardware reset for all camera models

    • Find the IP address of the camera.
    • Log on to the camera using the web browser. (Note: You can use Configuration Manager to identify the IP address.)
