In this case, try to recover it with following procedures before calling experts.

1. Open a MEDM screen for each camera.

   • Then terminal window named as "$(camera_name) status" will be opened.

3. Back to the MEDM screen and choose "Log" -> "$(camera_name) log | tail -f"

   • Then a new terminal window named as "$(camera_name) log | tail -f" will be opened.
