Ciao

Thank you for welcoming me to this forum.
I received an IMOU GP42P camera that doesn't work; the red LED keeps flashing. I hope I can find a way to fix it.

Welcome to IPCT! :wave:

Questions:
  1. Did it work OK before and then one day the red LED started flashing?
  2. Did you recently update the firmware or attempt to update the camera?
  3. How is the camera powered?
  4. How is the camera connected to your network....Ethernet or Wi-Fi?
  5. Is there an SD card inserted ?

Hi

1 After turning it off and on again, it started flashing.

2 I haven't done any updates. At the moment, the only possible connection is via the serial port.
When I connect, I see the camera continuously rebooting.
.
3 With a 12-volt power supply.

4 It is not connected at the moment. When it was working, it was connected via Ethernet.

5 No.

Thanks
Pierpaolo
 
There should be a reset button under the door that covers the SD card.
  1. With power off, press and hold the reset button and apply power....continue to hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds then remove power.
  2. Perform step 1 two more times.
