Help! I Can'T Get Y Camera To Work

I have the EZ camera and hooked it up just as described. My computer uploaded the drivers when I plugged in the dongle and it shows up in the dropdown list. When I select it, nothing. I get the red grid but no images. I have a digital set control set to the DO of the camera and turn it on. Still nothing.

What do I do?

Is the light on the camera? Did you charge the battery for an hour or two before using it?

Crossing my fingers its a simple fix , I still been cutting and fabbing the structure of.omni 2000 and haven't tested anything yet , I hope its ok Bret

@DJ The light is on, but no, I did not charge the battery. Do I need to? How do I do that - thru the EZB?

@jstarne1 - Thanks! I made the mistake of mounting everything before testing. Be sure you don't do the same lol

Charge that battery for.about.4hrs for.its.first charge.Brett , and for.the.first couple charges don't recharge till its dead. It trains the battery to have max capacity. Take note they aren't anything nearly as bad about initial charges as nicad so you should do fine.to charge it now.:)

@ Bret , there was a USB adapter its white with mine, plug in the household USB adapter and plug the mini USB cable into to USB on the camera. That's how it charges.;)

I did not receive that white cable with mine. Only the black one that I cut up to attach a connector to.

#7  

Maybe they left it out? But you got the USB ac adapter so just get a mini USB cable , last year they.were popular for cell phone chargers and data cables.

okay, it is charging. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks Josh.
