Hello,
I have an IPC-LPR237B - IR ANPR CAMERA I am trying to set up. One thing I need is the analog output (yes I still use an analog Pelco matrix believe it or not). I cannot figure out why the output (BNC connector) puts out no signal. In the web page I found the PAL/NTSC choice in the general menu but zero analog signal comes out no matter the setting. I could find no other setting that turns it on or off. Anyone have an idea how to solve this (I did read the posts from 2023 and earlier on this camera and did not see any mention. I have not tried to upgrade the firmware as I could not find an updated version.
thanks in advance.
 
Only a guess here.. I know that my cameras that offer a BNC output or the IP camera turns off the BNC when you setup IVS zones or Ai rules any format. Normally it says that when you setup the rule that doing so will turn off BNC?
 
Dahua, and some older Samsung Ai IP cameras. Question does your matrix device decode CVI? Or is it purely CVBS? It might be that the Camera is sending Analog as CVI as that is Dahua format. While I would think it would /should be doing CVBS but not sure. I didn't find anything in the manual about the output. I will reset one of my cameras back to factory and post a picture about turning off the output when I enable AI.. Your camera being a Traffic Camera I would think it could be different. Also might be a switch in the camera that might need to be flipped in the camera body if it has a Micro SD reset button slot maybe there is an output switch? I have a very old camera no AI that has switch in side the camera.. Different company but might have been something like that as well.
