Can't Connect To Camera Device

Hello,

I recently purchased a camera for my EZ-B v4 controller, but I'm having trouble connecting to it. Every time I try to connect this error message displays repeatedly:

Camera Initialized: EZB://10.0.0.56:24 @ 320x240
ezbv4 camera image render error: System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid.
   at System.Drawing.Bitmap..ctor(Stream stream)
   at EZ_B.Camera.aJo6NxZbaD(Byte[]  )
   at EZ_B.EZBv4Video.o4twmdwIUb(EZTaskScheduler  , Int32  , Object  )

I'm connecting to the camera in Client mode and have made sure I'm including the proper port number as suggested in this post. I've also tried re-seating the board and the camera cable as suggested in this post. I'm not really sure what else to do, or what I may be doing wrong. Is there something that I am missing?

I just purchased the camera in July and it has been this way since I received it :/. What did you mean by "you can pull in and out the cable on the camera side a few times"?
