Can anyone get the camera to work on it? Or what appears to be a camera at the middle of the screen?

I think that is the light sensor. It adjusts the brightness of the display based on room light level.

There is no camera. There is a review on you tube about this monitor and he mentions that there is no camera.

no, From what I was told these monitors were made to look just like the Apple thunderbolt monitors. They even have the same dot where the Thunderbolts have the camera. Take a good look at the thunderbolt monitor and then at the Monoprice monitor. You will see that both look a lot alike even down to the dot for the camera.

This model is based off a previous model that had a webcam included. So they used similar hardware to cut cost. There's an opening for the camera, but one is not installed.

This could also be a ground loop- this is more common with audio connections. Try moving your ground wire to a different source. The issue is probably because the camera and the screen have different ground connections, which is basically unavoidable but you can fix it by experimenting with different power and ground sources. Or, you could buy something called a "ground loop isolator", but in my experience those usually only partially fix the problem. Good luck!

I had the same problem for a while. it was some sort of "zoom lock". Finaly came on and displayed the warning "Zoom Lock". Eventually had to replace the camera. Sorry if bad news.

SD card or not, the main menu or splash screen should come up. If you just got it, I would return it. I gave it as a gift a number of years back and it still is running fine.

The rear camera should show up automatically as a mini pip in the upper right corner of the screen. You can use the remote up and down buttons to switch the positions on the screen. If everything fails, you probably got a dud as I did. Returned it, got another from another on-line company and it works great!

Yes, there is a camera in the middle upper bezel. I never use it myself, but its there.

I don't have that problem. Your camera must have a defect. You should return it if you can.

I agree with JR, check/swap your wiring/power supply. If it still doesn't work send it back. Quality control on this camera is not good, Ordered 2, one was bad right out of the box.

Sorry no. Make sure you are inputting the proper login and password. If nothing works you might try to reset the camera "Server" to default and begin your setup again

My experience: return/sell the camera and buy anything else. Sorry I couldn't help more - but the camera is very poor quality.

I agree with Steven. The camera is fine. Jason apparently has not set it up correctly. The CD that came with my camera installs, but nothing happens when I run it. However, it is not necessary for installation if you know your way around networks. Also, the zip file mentioned by others is corrupt.

The only thing I can think of is that there is no memory card in the camera. Please check to be sure the memory card is installed correctly.

my camera still works. You may want to check and see if there is a firmware update that might solve your problem.

I received mine in the mail today and I was unable to get it to work. I haven't yet tried to troubleshoot the issue, but the screen jumps around quite a bit.
