A camera can take on various operating modes. The current mode is displayed in the lower left corner of the player window.

The following camera states are possible:

	Live	The camera's live stream is displayed.
	Replay	Replay of a recorded video.
	Stop replay	Stops replay of a recorded video.
	Busy	The camera window is busy (waiting for response from server).
	Error	An error has occurred.
	No records	No records available for this time stamp in the server's database and thus no recordings.

The "Error" state can have various reasons, for example:

• ibaCapture Player was not installed on the respective computer where it is needed (see chapter Software components).

• ibaCapture Player cannot connect to the configured ibaCapture Server.

• No camera is connected to the specified camera input on the video server.

Usually, the video server starts transmitting the camera images immediately.

Moreover, the different fault states are indicated by big colored camera icons, supplemented by text describing the situation:

If ibaCapture Player is not installed or the version installed is not up-to-date, the following red icon appears.

The red image indicating the "No video signal" state occurs with one of the last two reasons mentioned above.

When a camera is in the "No video available" state, it will display the purple camera icon below.

For more information refer to chapter Player settings.

Double-clicking on the player window when it is in a fault state will open the log file of the application which is used for the camera view (ibaCapture Manager or ibaPDA client).
