■ Verifying that the camera is ready to install
■ Installing the mount
■ Connection diagrams
■ Mounting the camera

And a required safety note here:

Note

PoE type networks connected to this equipment are for intra-building use only and should not be connected to lines that run outside of the building in which this product is located.

Don't Void Your Warranty!

Caution

This product is for indoor use. Do not install it outdoors or in a humid environment without the protective enclosure. Do not allow it to come into contact with any liquid.

Do not install or operate this product if it has been dropped, damaged, or exposed to liquids. These things happen, return it to Vaddio for safety and functional testing.

Before You Install the Camera

Prepare for a successful installation:

• Consider camera viewing angles, lighting conditions, line-of-sight obstructions, and in-wall obstructions where the camera is to be mounted.
  ■ Ensure that the camera points away from the ceiling and lights. The camera will not perform well if it is pointed toward a light source such as a light fixture or window.
  ■ Mounting the camera at eye level is best. If this is not feasible, mounting the camera above eye level typically produces a better experience than mounting it below eye level.
  ■ If you make cables for this installation, check them for continuity.
  ■ Be sure you can identify all cables correctly.
  ■ Talk to the network administrator. If installing the camera in a non-DHCP network (one that does not automatically assign IP addresses), you will need to configure the camera with a static IP address as directed by the network administrator.

Cabling Notes

Use Cat-5e or better cable. Use shielded cabling if the cables will be coiled, run tightly with other cables, or routed near sources of electromagnetic interference such as power lines or fluorescent light fixtures. We recommend using high-quality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool.

Caution

Do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors when making cables for this product. Poorly crimped connectors of this type can cause intermittent connections and degraded signal quality. They can also damage the connectors on the product, which will void your warranty.

Intact – will make reliable contact with cable connector

Damaged – Bent contact fingers will NOT make reliable contact with cable connector

Pre-Installation Functional Check

If you're installing the camera where it's hard to reach, you may want to verify functionality before you install it.

1. Connect the camera in its minimum functional configuration.

If the camera turns on and sends video, continue with the installation.

Getting the Camera's IP Address

You will need the camera's IP address if you do not use the Vaddio Device Controller or Vaddio Deployment Tool to access its web interface.

Briefly press the IP button on the connector panel. This displays the camera's IP address and MAC address on the video outputs. Press the button again to dismiss the information.

If the Camera Is At 169.254.1.1

This is the camera's default IP address. This means one of these things:

■ The camera's PoE+ power injector is not connected to the network, OR
■ The network does not automatically assign IP addresses.

If the camera does not receive an IP address when connected to the network, you will need to configure the camera for the network after you have done the initial device set-up.

To communicate directly with the camera for initial device set-up and network configuration, you will need to connect a cable from your computer's network port to the DATA IN port on the PoE+ power injector.

Status Lights

The lights in the camera's head indicate its current state.

■ Purple – Initializing
■ White – Active
■ Red – Audio is muted
■ Blinking red – Video is muted
■ Yellow – Firmware update is in progress
■ Blinking cyan – Remote pairing mode
■ Blinking blue – Pairing error

Caution

Do not remove power or reset the camera while the status lights are yellow, showing a firmware progress. Interrupting a firmware update can make the camera unusable.

Note

By default, the camera's status lights are active during normal operation; however, they can be configured to remain off when the camera is powered up. The camera may be sending video lights are off.

Installing the Wall Mount

The camera is shipped with a wall mount. Other mounting options are available as well. Contact us if you don't have the camera mount you need.

You can install the camera wall mount to a display mount or directly to drywall. If you mount it to drywall, use wall anchors.

Basic Connections

Here is an example of how the camera might be set up in a medium-size conference room. In this setup, a PC uses a unified communications conferencing application to manage the camera and connected microphones and speaker.

Pro Tip

Label all cables at both ends.

Installing the Camera and Connecting Power

Caution

Check your cables. Connecting a cable to the wrong port or using the wrong pin-out can result equipment damage and will void the warranty.

1. Connect all required cables to the camera.
2. Slide the camera into the mount.
3. Secure the cable cover to the mount.
4. Connect the mid-span power injector to mains power.

About Inverted Installation

If you use an inverted mount, you will need to select the camera's Image Flip setting when configuring behavior and performance. Image Flip orients the video image correctly and sets the camera to respond appropriately to tilt commands. See Additional Camera Settings for more information.

Initial Device Set-Up

Vaddio cameras have a web interface for initial device set-up, administrative control, and operation.

When any Vaddio product is shipped from the factory, the admin password is not set and the administrative controls are not available. You will need to access the web interface and set the admin password. Then you will be able to access to the system administration tasks to define how the device behaves as an element of your network. This is also true after restoring factory defaults.

Because this process is the same for all Vaddio cameras, screen shots in this section may show different products.

Browser Support

We have tested this product with these web browsers:

Chrome®
■ Firefox®
■ Microsoft® Edge and Internet Explorer®
Safari®

We test using the browser version available from the vendor at that time. Other browsers (including older versions of the ones on this list) are likely to work also.

Initial Device Set-up Process Overview

The details of initial device set-up and system administration differ somewhat, depending on which method you use.

• Access the web interface from a Vaddio Device Controller – The touch-panel automatically scans the subnet to locate Vaddio devices. Select the desired device and exit to the device's web interface to complete the initial device set-up.
• Locate and set up the camera using the Vaddio Deployment Tool – Available as a free download at https://info.legrandav.com/VaddioDeploymentTool. The tool scans the network for Vaddio devices, identifies all devices that are not set up, provides the controls to complete the initial device set-up, and provides links to each device's web interface.
• Access the web interface directly – The classic method. Discover the camera's IP address and browse to its web interface.

Initial Device Set-Up Using the Vaddio Device Controller

The Vaddio Device Controller is a stand-alone tablet for working with Vaddio products.

To complete the initial device set-up with the Vaddio Device Controller:

1. Connect the touch-panel to the network on the same subnet as the products you need to work with - for example, connect both to the same PoE+ switch.
2. Go to the touch-panel's Configuration page (gear icon) and select Scan.

3. Locate the device you need to work with, and select Use.
   If the Vaddio Device Controller does not find the camera, verify that the Vaddio Device Controller and camera are connected to the same subnet.

4. Select Exit to leave the Configuration page and open the device's web interface.

Note

The first time you access a device at a specific IP address, the Vaddio Device Controller's s may remain blank for 20 seconds or more.

1. Set the admin password.

Initial Device Set-Up Using the Vaddio Deployment Tool

The Vaddio Deployment Tool provides an option to do the initial device set-up for unprovisioned devices, and provides a shortcut to each device's web interface for system administration. This tool is available as a free download at https://info.legrandav.com/VaddioDeploymentTool.

Note

Be sure you have the current version of the Vaddio Deployment Tool. If it notifies you that an available, install the update. This ensures that you have access to the full capabilities of the tool versions may not recognize the newest products.

To complete the initial device set-up with the Vaddio Deployment Tool:

1. Power up the camera and other devices if you have not done so already.
2. On the Find Devices page, select Scan. If the scan does not locate the devices you need to set up, your computer may be on a different subnet. Return to the Find Devices page and set up an advanced scan to search the appropriate portion of the network.
3. In the list of equipment that the scan discovers, locate the devices marked Not Set Up.

1. For each device that you need to work with, select Not Set Up and set the admin password.

You can now access the administrative web interface for system administration and other configuration tasks.

Manual Access and Initial Device Set-Up

If you do not use a Vaddio Device Controller or the Vaddio Deployment Tool, you will need to complete the initial device set-up manually, by browsing to the device's web interface using its IP address. See Getting the Camera's IP Address.

Initial Access to the Web Interface

HTTP access is disabled initially. Enter the camera's IP address in your browser's address bar using https://as a prefix. (Example: https://10.30.200.125) When you access the web interface without using the https://prefix, the browser may treat it as a search query, or you may encounter this message:

HTTP Access Disabled HTTP has been disabled on this device. Please contact your IT administrator if you are having difficulties accessing this device from HTTPS. Switch to HTTPS

Switch to HTTPS if you see this message.

Expect a security warning from your browser the first time you access the device's web interface.

Different browsers will respond with different messages and options. Your browser will probably present a message indicating one of these things:

■ The connection is not private
■ The site is not secure
■ The site is not trusted
■ The site poses a security threat

This is because the certificate (the product's website security credential) is self-signed, not issued by an external certificate authority. Your HTTPS connection is secure and traffic is encrypted.

You will need to make the selections that your browser's security message discourages. Depending on the browser, the warning presents an option to learn more, view details, or go to the "Advanced" page. When you select this, your browser provides an explanation and a button or link to continue to the IP address you entered, with a reminder that it may be unsafe. Select the option to continue. Your HTTPS connection is safe.

After you have accessed the product's web interface once, your browser may remember its IP address and not present the security message again.

Completing the Initial Device Set-up

Set the admin password and complete any other required tasks, such as accepting agreements. The full administrative interface opens when you finish.

Note

This page includes a link to the company's standard privacy policy. This product does not record audio or video files, and it does not store any identifying information other than what you may enter on the Room Labels page of the web interface. However, the device's IP address is cons "personally identifiable information" for the purposes of the privacy policy.

System Administration

This chapter covers settings for managing the camera as an element of your network.

■ Security – Passwords, guest access, other IT security-related settings
■ Network configuration
■ Time settings

See Configuring Camera Behavior for information on image adjustments, streaming configuration, and other items related to camera behavior.

Note

Vaddio products are designed with very similar web interfaces. The screen shots in this manual is slightly different from your camera's web interface. Some may be from other cameras.

Configuring Access and Other Security Settings

SECURITY PAGE

The Account Passwords and Web Server areas of the Security page provide basic security for the web interface:

• Admin password – Required. The web interface is unavailable if no admin password is set.
• User password – Password-protected access to the operator's page of the web interface.
• Allow Guest Access – Allow access the operator's page without a password. Disabled by default.
  ■ Automatically Expire Idle Sessions – Automatically logs you out after 30 minutes of inactivity.

Web Server ✓ Automatically Expire Idle Sessions ☐ Allow Guest Access Show Advanced Settings... Server Access ✓ Allow Telnet Access Device Discovery ✓ Allow Zeroconf DNS-SD Discovery

Other security settings include:

• Allow Telnet Access – disabled by default.
• Allow Zeroconf DNS-SD discovery – allowed by default.
  ■ Advanced Settings – Enable HTTP access (disabled by default) and Manage SSL Certificate.

Note

Consult your network security specialist before changing any of these settings. Seek explicit guidance concerning the SSL certificate.

Configuring the Camera for Your Network

By default, the camera is set to DHCP, and will receive an IP address automatically if your network assigns IP addresses. Work with your network specialist to ensure that the camera is configured to comply with the organization's network policies.

Caution

Consult your IT department before changing network settings. Errors in network configuration can m the camera inaccessible from the network.

Note

When you change the camera's hostname, IP address, or other network information, you will need in to the web interface again. This does not happen if the only change you make is from DH addressing or vice-versa.

Configuring the Device with a Static IP Address

NETWORKING PAGE

If no DHCP server is available to automatically assign an IP address, the camera uses its default IP address (169.254.1.1). If you install more than one camera or other device on this network, you must follow this procedure to prevent IP address conflicts.

If the camera is currently at 169.254.1.1:

1. Work with your IT department's network specialist to determine the correct network settings.
2. Connect your computer's network port to the camera's network port.
3. Set IP Address to Static. Then enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. DNS Server is optional; ask the network specialist.

If the camera is currently at an IP address other than 169.254.1.1:

Work with your IT department to determine whether the device's current IP address is suitable.

If it is, you only need to set the IP Address to Static.

If not, set IP Address to Static and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway as directed. Again, DNS Server is optional; ask the network specialist.

Changing the Camera's Hostname

NETWORKING PAGE

If your network supports hostname resolution, you can browse to the camera using its hostname. Giving it a simple, easy-to-remember hostname means you don't need to know its IP address. Work with your IT department to ensure that the new hostname conforms to the organization's naming conventions.

Note

You may need to log in to the web interface again after changing the hostname.

Specifying Time Zone and NTP Server

NETWORKING PAGE

Using automatic NTP updating ensures that the timestamps in the camera's diagnostic log are accurate. Specifying your time zone may make it easier to match logged events with other actions and external events.

1. To make the time zone and NTP server editable, enable Automatic NTP Updating.
2. If you are not sure what to use for NTP Server, use the default.
3. Select the desired time zone from the list.

Configuring Camera Behavior

This chapter covers settings for defining how the camera performs in your environment:

■ Autoframing adjustments
■ Streaming
■ Manual-mode settings and adjustments – presets, color and lighting, speed, focus
■ Audio adjustments
■ Other camera settings

Fine-Tuning Autoframing Behavior

The Autoframing feature can be tuned to your specific installation. This includes defining areas where the camera does not evaluate motion (masking), adjusting the tracking area, speed, sensitivity, and responsiveness.

How It Works: Digital Pan/Tilt/Zoom

Optical Zoom and Electronic Zoom are the names of two Autoframing adjustments, in addition to being simple terms for the two ways that a camera can zoom. This section talks about how zooming works.

The lenses in a camera control how much of the room can be in the shot – the image area. Zooming in optically makes the image area smaller by moving the lenses. Zooming in digitally makes the image area smaller by using the pixels from a smaller portion of the image sensor. Either way, the effect is the same: When the image area is smaller, everything in the shot looks bigger.

Digital pan and tilt work when the camera is zoomed in. If some image area is available outside the shot, the camera can pan and tilt by moving the image area to use pixels outside the current shot. As the camera zooms in, the image area is a smaller part of the total field, so more pan and tilt is available. But if the current shot uses all the pixels, there's no room to pan or tilt.

How It Works: Autoframing

Autoframing is based on motion detection. It won't mistake pictures for people, it still works if you turn away from the camera, and you don't have to wear a special device. But with no special device to follow, Autoframing does not necessarily keep the shot on its original subject.

Autoframing pans and tilts to center the source of motion, so the image is almost always zoomed in at least slightly.

■ Autoframing is enabled by default.
■ The camera tries to keep the frame centered on the source of motion.
■ If the motion is small, the camera zooms in.
- When the camera does not detect any motion, by default it zooms out. This behavior is configurable.
■ If the motion is near the edge of the field of view, it can't be centered in the frame.
■ If the motion is mostly outside the field of view, the camera can only detect the small part of the motion within its field of view.

In this diagram, the unmasked area represents the tracking area. The area of motion is large (which limits the zoom) and the two people on the left are near the edge of the total field of view, so the camera cannot pan far enough to center the people in the frame.

Basic Autoframing Adjustments

AUTOFRAMING PAGE

When making adjustments, compare the Visualizer's image to the video output.

Optical Zoom - Sets the area in which motion can be tracked. Adjust this first.

Autoframing Presets – Factory configurations. "Conservative" settings are less sensitive and track at lower speeds than "responsive" settings. Select the one closest to the room's requirements, then make other adjustments if needed.

Note

In many cases, the camera delivers good Autoframing performance with no adjustments beyond set the optical zoom and selecting the appropriate Autoframing preset.

Sensitivity – How quickly the camera responds to new motion. High sensitivity may respond to brief, unwanted motion, such as people walking past an open door. Typically 70% to 90% for conferencing, 95% or higher for lecture capture.

Noise Threshold – The minimum change recognized as motion. Default value is 20%. If Noise Threshold is high, the Visualizer shows less movement data (white dots). If Noise Threshold is too low, the Visualizer shows pixel changes that are not motion, such as camera noise and small changes in lighting.

Visualize Production Window Target Window Buffer Zone

Persistence – How long the camera remembers motion and stays on its source after other trackable motion starts. Typically 25% to 100% for conferencing, below 15% for lecture capture.

Shot Margin – Controls how tight or wide the shot will be around the people in the camera's field of view.

A high value will result in a wider shot and a low value results in a tighter shot around the person or group of people. Default value is 7% for conferencing and 13% for lecture capture.

Max ePTZ Speed – The maximum speed for pan, tilt, and zoom while tracking. Low speed may lose fast-moving motion sources. High speed may seem jumpy. Typically 5 to 6 for conferencing, 12 to 18 for lecture capture.

Masking Unwanted Motion

AUTOFRAMING PAGE, MASKING TAB

Masks are areas where the camera ignores motion. For example, if a door is within the camera's field of view, a mask can prevent the camera from responding to the movement of the door or people in the doorway. You can create multiple masks to fine-tune the camera's performance.

Things to know about masks:

• When you select the Masking tab, the Autoframing Visualizer mode automatically switches to a view of the room, so you can see what part of the room each mask affects.
  ■ After you select Add Mask, drag the new mask to the desired location. Adjust its dimensions by dragging its corners or edges.
  ■ Right-click the mask name to rename it.
• Clear a mask's Enabled check box to disable the mask without deleting it.
  ■ Set the Visualizer mode to Motion to test the mask.

Advanced Autoframing Adjustments

AUTOFRAMING PAGE

Max Electronic Zoom – Sets the default size of the tracking frame relative to the area defined by Optical Zoom. Default value is 3x for all Autoframing presets.

Initial Persistence – How the camera remembers motion when it starts; similar to Persistence. Typically 25% to 100% for conferencing, 0 for lecture capture or presenter tracking.

Responsiveness – How quickly Autoframing reacts to new motion. Typically 70% to 90% for conferencing, 95% or higher for lecture capture.

Buffer Zone – The area around the edge of the frame where new motion causes the image to re-center.

Typically 3% for conferencing, 7% for lecture capture. Adjust this value higher to make the camera move less.

Tri-Sync Motion - Smooth pan/tilt/zoom. When Tri-Sync Motion is disabled, the camera snaps to position presets. Enabled by default.

Forced Wait Time - Minimum number of seconds between camera movements. Default is 0. Increasing Persistence often provides better performance than setting a Forced Wait Time.

History – History data is used for motion detection. High settings are best for conferencing and other low-motion situations, because they allow the camera to detect small motions such as changes in expression; but they increase latency. Low History settings provide more reactive tracking, with the possible drawback that the camera moves away from a motion source that pauses, and may not respond to small motions. Low History settings are best for lecture capture and other high-motion uses.

Default Wide - In Default Wide mode, the camera widens the shot (zooms out) when it detects no motion. This is best for conferencing or other situations with low motion. When Default Wide is not enabled, the camera remains where it last detected motion. We recommend disabling Default Wide mode for lecture capture.

About Echo Cancellation

When a microphone picks up the audio from a speaker (far-end audio) during a conference, it sends the far-end audio back to the participants at the far end, creating an echo. Acoustic echo cancellation prevents this.

Here's how it works:

1. The speaker feeds the far-end audio into the room. This signal also goes to the audio processor as the reference that needs to be canceled.
2. The audio processor inverts the signal and sends it to the microphone.
3. The sum of the audio that the microphone picks up from the speaker and the inverted signal is 0: The echo is canceled.

— Far-end audio signal
— Inverted audio signal

With the audio from the speaker canceled out, the audio from the microphone includes only the sounds originating at your end of the conference.

Configuring Streaming Behavior

Conferencing applications use USB streaming. After initial device set-up is complete, the camera's USB stream is always enabled.

■ Preset shots
■ Speed controls
■ Direction controls

These settings are on the Camera page of the web interface.

Setting the Home Position and Other Preset Shots

CAMERA PAGE

Although the camera's Autoframing feature is the simplest way to keep the focus on the presenter, there are times when you need a static shot – such as a zoomed-in shot of the room's dry-erase board.

Presets are saved shots. Each preset includes pan, tilt, zoom, and (optionally) color settings.

When Autoframing is not enabled, the camera returns to the Home preset when it comes out of Standby or reboots.

To store a preset:

1. Set up the shot.
2. In the Presets area, select Store to open the Store Preset dialog.
3. Select the preset to store. The preset button changes color.

Note

The Store Preset dialog box does not indicate whether presets have already been defined, but main display dims the preset buttons if they have no preset information stored.

4. Select the behavior for the preset:

■ To save the preset with specific color settings, select Store with Current Color Settings.
■ To pan/tilt smoothly to the preset, select Save with Tri-Sync. Use the slider to control the speed.
■ The camera will cut to the preset if you leave the Save with Tri-Sync checkbox clear.

5. Store the preset.

1. Select Settings to open the direction control box.
2. Set Pan Direction to Inverted to make the camera move to the presenter's left when they press the left arrow button.

Adjusting Color, Lighting, and Image Quality Settings

CAMERA PAGE

No two rooms are exactly alike – but a lot of rooms are a lot alike. The technical folks at Vaddio (Scott, to be specific) have already set up adjustments for common lighting scenarios (CCU scenes) – Incandescent Hi, Incandescent Lo, Fluorescent Hi, Fluorescent Lo, and Outdoor. The Auto setting allows the camera to determine the appropriate adjustments.

When adjusting for the room lighting, start with a factory-defined CCU scene and fine-tune the color and lighting as needed using the Color Settings controls. After you customize the camera's color and lighting settings, you can save the adjustments as a custom CCU scene.

■ Auto Iris allows the camera to compensate automatically for the light level. Clear this box to adjust iris and gain manually.
■ Backlight Compensation (available when Auto Iris is selected) reduces contrast to adjust for bright light behind the main subject of the shot. This setting can't be used with Wide Dynamic Range.
- Wide Dynamic Range (available when Auto Iris is selected) increases the contrast between the brightest and darkest areas. This setting can't be used with Backlight Compensation.
■ Auto White Balance adjusts color automatically. Clear this box to adjust red gain and blue gain manually.
- Red Gain and Blue Gain (available when Auto White Balance is not selected) provide manual color adjustment.
■ Detail adjusts the image sharpness. If the video looks grainy or “noisy,” try a lower Detail setting.
■ Chroma adjusts the color intensity.
■ Gamma adjusts the range (grey density) between bright areas and shadows.

The Lighting and Image Quality Quick Reference and Color Adjustment Quick Reference may be helpful.

If you make a change that you don't like, start over by selecting and then deselecting Auto White Balance.

Additional Camera Settings

SYSTEM PAGE, GENERAL TAB

Additional settings are available on the General tab on the System page.

LED On – In most cases, Vaddio recommends leaving the status lights on, to let people in the room know whether the camera is currently sending video.

LED On in Standby - Select Disabled to turn off the LED when the camera is in standby mode.

LED Color Scheme – Status light color codes for Unified Communications (conferencing) or Pro AV (broadcast). Default is UC.

Point Light Compensation – Reduces the intensity of small, extremely bright areas (point light sources) that would otherwise swamp the camera with light and make it difficult to see details in areas with less intense lighting.

HDMI Color Space - Set the color space for the HDMI output to YCbCr (default) or sRGB.

Image Flip – If mounting the camera upside-down, set Image Flip ON. This orients the video image correctly and sets the camera to respond appropriately to tilt commands from the remote, web interface, and connected control devices.

Video Output Resolution – Select the desired resolution for the HDMI output. IP streaming is set separately. See Setting up IP Streaming in Easy Mode.

UVC Mode - USB stream format. Client Custom enables far-end camera control when used with the Zoom soft client. Use the default UVC Compliant setting with most other conferencing applications.

Operating the Camera

When you need to control the camera in manual mode rather than using Autoframing, you can use

■ The RF remote
■ The web interface (accessible from your computer's browser or using a Vaddio Device Controller)
■ A third-party control device

When you use the manual controls, Autoframing pauses. It's similar to cruise control in a car: Using a preset or directional control is like tapping the brake pedal. The camera remains under manual control until you resume Autoframing.

Operating the Camera from the Web Interface

CAMERA PAGE (USER OR GUEST ACCESS)

By default, the operator's page of the web interface is not available. The administrator must set a password for the user account or enable guest access.

Only the operator's page is available with user or guest access.

The operator's Camera page provides most of the same controls as the remote:

■ Audio and video mute
■ Camera standby
■ Pan, tilt, and zoom
■ Camera presets, if any have been stored
■ Custom color/lighting settings, if any have been stored

Moving the Camera to a Preset Position

Use the Preset buttons (if available) to move the camera to any of its programmed positions. Presets are only available if they have been set in the administrative interface or with the RF remote.

Operating the Camera with the RF Remote

The RF remote provides basic in-conference functionality – pan, tilt, zoom, presets, volume control, and muting. You can also use it to get the camera's IP address. When you have the IP address, you can open the camera's web interface.

Before you can use the remote, you will need to:

■ Install the batteries
■ Pair the remote with the camera

IntelliSHOT cameras are not compatible with IR remotes.

Installing the Batteries

The remote uses two AAA batteries.

1. Remove the cover from the back of the remote. You may need to press down on the inner edge while sliding it off.
2. Install the batteries as shown in the diagram in the battery opening.
3. Slide and snap the cover back into place.

Pairing the Remote to the Camera

The camera does not recognize or respond to the remote until they are paired. Do this after the camera is turned on and its status light is white.

If you do not have access to the administrative web interface:

1. Press and hold the IP button on the connector panel until the status light blinks cyan.
2. While the status light blinks cyan, press the pairing button on the remote. The camera's status light changes to steady white when the pairing is complete. You may need to press the remote's pairing button more than once.
3. If the status light changes from blinking cyan to blinking blue, this indicates a pairing error: The pairing was not successful and pairing mode has timed out. Go back to step 1. If the problem persists, contact Vaddio Technical Support.

Note

Any time a pairing error occurs (status light blinking blue), Vaddio recommends rebooting the cam soon as feasible. If pairing was successful, the remote remains paired through the reboot process.

If you have access to the administrative web interface:

Camera Autoframing Audio Streaming RF Remote ? Pair Remote Forget Remote

1. On the Pairing page of the web interface, select Pair Remote.
2. When the camera's status light blinks cyan, press and hold the pairing button on the remote until the status light changes to steady white.

Other Things to Know About the Remote

Here are some common situations in which the remote can behave in ways you don't expect.

• Environments with cameras in adjacent rooms – If the remote is currently paired to a camera and within range of that camera, it will not pair with another camera.
  ■ The remote goes to standby mode after a brief period of inactivity. Press a button to wake it up.
• The remote is no longer paired after restoring the camera's factory defaults. If you restore factory defaults on the camera, pair it with the remote again.

Saving (Exporting) or Restoring (Importing) a Configuration

SYSTEM PAGE, FIRMWARE TAB

If you need to restore a camera's factory default settings, you can export the configuration beforehand to restore customized information instead of re-entering it manually.

The data export includes home and other presets, NTP and time zone information, and room labels.

It does not include any information that is unique to the device, such as passwords, hostname, camera settings, or remote pairing.

To export a configuration:

Select Export Data. The export downloads to your computer as a .dat file. The filename is the camera's hostname.

To import a configuration file:

Select Import Data. The web interface prompts you to select the file to import.

Telnet Serial Command API

The Vaddio Telnet command API allows an external device such as an AMX or Crestron presentation system to control the camera. It is also used for writing macros.

Requirements

• Telnet must be enabled on the Security page of the device's web interface.
• Your computer must have a Telnet client. Telnet port 23 is used.
• Your computer must be able to connect to the device over the network.
  ■ When you connect via Telnet, you must log in using the admin account.

Usage Notes

■ The > character is the command prompt.
- In addition to the camera control commands, Telnet session management commands are available – help, history, and exit.
■ CTRL-5 clears the current serial buffer on the device.

Getting More Information

Use a question mark as a command or command parameter to display a list of available commands, subcommands, or command parameters. For example, ? returns all top-level commands; network ? returns the valid subcommands for the network command; and network ping ? returns the parameters available for the network ping command.

To discover the valid range of values for a command, use a value that you expect to be out of range. For example, camera zoom set 64 returns an error message stating the valid range of zoom values. Firmware updates sometimes implement new commands or command parameters. We do not update the manuals for every firmware update, and occasionally the author makes a mistake. Querying returns the command parameters that are currently available, along with guidance on command syntax.

Typographical Conventions

■ {x | y | z} - Choose x, y, or z.
- – Substitute the desired value here.
- < x - y > - Valid range of values is x through y.
■ [parameter] – Parameter is optional.

Camera and Video Management Commands

The following camera and video management commands are available:

■ camera home
■ camera pan
■ camera tilt
■ camera zoom
■ camera ptz-position
■ camera focus
■ camera preset
■ camera ccu get
■ camera ccu set
■ camera led
■ camera icr
■ video mute

camera home

Moves the camera to its home position and zoom level. Color settings may also be part of the home preset.

Autoframing pauses when the camera receives this command.

Synopsis camera	home
Example	>camera homeOK>

camera pan

Moves the camera horizontally.

Autoframing pauses when the camera receives this command.

The amount of pan available depends on the zoom level. A tight shot can move more than a wide one. (See How It Works: Digital Pan/Tilt/Zoom.) If the camera is fully zoomed out, pan commands do not result in a change, because there is no room to shift the shot.

The camera pan set command specifies where the shot is to be centered in terms of pixel column, not angle. If the camera cannot center the shot on the specified column, it gets as close as possible

Example: camera pan set 1536 specifies that the shot should center at the rightmost column of pixels. This isn't possible, so the camera centers the shot as close to the rightmost column of pixels as possible. No error is generated if the command specifies a pixel column that exists.

Synopsis camera	pan { left [] | right [] | stop | get | set[] [no_wait] }
Options	left	Moves the camera left.
	right	Moves the camera right.
	Optional: Specifies the	pan speed (integer).
	stop	Stops the camera's horizontal movement.
	get	Returns the camera's pan position
	set Centers the shot as close	as possible to the specified column of pixels on the image series snaps to the specified position if no speed given
	The pixel column to	center the shot on. Range is 1536 to -1536.
	no_wait Optional – allows the	command to return the command prompt and respond to new commands immediately, while the camera is still panning.
Examples	>camera pan leftOK>Pans the camera left at the default speed.>camera pan right 20OK>Pans the camera right using a speed of 20.>camera pan stopOK>Stops the camera's horizontal motion.

camera tilt

Moves the shot vertically.

Autoframing pauses when the camera receives this command.

The amount of tilt available depends on the zoom level. A tight shot can move more than a wide one. (See How It Works: Digital Pan/Tilt/Zoom.) If the camera is fully zoomed out, tilt commands do not result in a change, because there is no room to shift the shot.

The camera tilt set command specifies where the shot is to be centered in terms of pixel row, not angle. If the camera cannot center the shot on the specified row, it gets as close as possible

Example: camera tilt set 864 specifies that the shot should center at the topmost row of pixels.

This isn't possible, so the camera centers the shot as close to the top row of pixels as possible. No error is generated if the command specifies a pixel row that exists.

Synopsis camera	tilt { up[] | down[] | stop | get | set[] [no_wait] }
Options	up	Moves the shot up at the default speed or the specified speed
	down	Moves the shot down at the default speed or the specified speed
		tilt speed (integer)
	stop	Stops the tilt movement
	get Returns the camera's tilt position
	set Centers the shot as close	as possible to the specified row of pixels on the image sensor; snaps to the specified position if no speed is given
		The pixel row to center the shot on. Range is 864 to -864.
	no_wait Optional – allows the	command to return the command prompt and respond to new commands immediately, while the camera is still tilting
Examples	>camera tilt upOK>Tilts the camera up at the default speed.>camera tilt down 20OK>Tilts the camera down at a speed of 20.>camera tilt set -560OK>Attempts to center the shot at pixel row -560.

camera zoom

Moves the camera in toward the subject or out away from the subject.

Autoframing pauses when the camera receives this command.

Synopsis camera	zoom { in [] | out [] | stop | get | set[] [no_wait] }
Options	in	Zooms the camera in
	out	Zooms the camera out
	speed [1 - 7]	Optional: Specifies the zoom speed as an integer
	stop	Stops the camera's zoom movement.
	get Returns the camera's zoom	setting
	setSets the camera's	zoom level; snaps to the requested zoom unless speed is specified
	no_wait	Optional; when camera zoom set specifies speed, allows the command to return the command prompt immediately, while the camera is still moving to the shot
Examples	>camera zoom inOK>Zooms the camera in at the default speed.>camera zoom out 7OK>Zooms the camera out using a speed of 7.>camera zoom stopOK>Stops the camera's zoom motion.

camera ptz-position

Specifies a shot by zoom and center coordinates.

Autoframing pauses when the camera receives this command.

The amount of pan and tilt available depend on the zoom level. A tight shot can move more than a wide one. (See How It Works: Digital Pan/Tilt/Zoom.) If zoom = 1, there is no movement to the specified pan and tilt coordinates, because the camera is fully zoomed out, leaving no room to shift the shot.

The camera ptz-position command specifies the coordinates where the shot is to be centered in terms of pixel column and row, not angle. If the camera cannot center the shot as requested, it gets as close as possible.

Pan, tilt, and zoom may be specified in any order. The camera calculates the desired shot; if the calculated shot area would include pixel rows or columns that don't exist (for example, a wide shot centered near the leftmost or rightmost column of pixels), the camera centers the shot as close as possible to the requested position. When no speed is specified, the camera snaps to the shot.

Synopsis camera ptz-position pan tilt zoom [no_wait]
Options pan	The pixel column to center	the shot on. Range is 1536 to -1536.
	tilt The pixel row to center the shot on. Range is 864 to -864.
	zoom is a floating-point value 1.0 to 10.0.
	Optional; speed of movements (integer) if the camera should not snap to the specified position
	no_wait	Optional; when speed is specified, allows the command to return the command prompt immediately, while the camera is still moving to the shot.
Examples	>camera ptz-position pan -150 tilt 200 zoom 3OK>Centers the shot at pixel column -150, row 200, at a zoom level of 3. The camera snaps to the shot, because no speed is specified. At this zoom level, the shot can be centered exactly as requested.>camera ptz-position pan -1470 tilt 200 zoom 2 speed 5 no_waitOK>Attempts to center the shot at pixel column -1470, row 200, at a zoom level of 2. The camera moves at speed 5 and returns the command prompt before the motion is finished. The shot cannot be centered exactly as requested, because it is relatively wide and the requested center is close to the leftmost column of pixels. The shot's left edge will be the leftmost column of pixels.

camera preset

Moves the camera to the specified preset, or stores the current camera position and type of motion to use, optionally including color and lighting information.

Synopsis camera	preset {recall | store} <1 - 16> [tri-sync <1 - 24>] [save-ccu]
Options recall	<1 - 16>] Moves the camera to	the specified preset
	store <1 - 16> Stores the current camera position as the specified preset
	tri-sync <1 - 24> Optional: Tri-Sync Motion pans, tilts, and zooms smoothly to the shot, at the specified speed; if not used, the camera snaps to the preset
	save-ccu	Optional: Saves the current color and lighting settings as part of the preset
Examples	>camera preset recall 3OK>Snaps to preset 3.>camera preset store 2 tri-sync 10 save-ccuOK>Stores the current shot as preset 2. The camera will apply the current CCU settings and use Tri-Sync Motion at speed 15 to move to this preset.

camera focus

Changes the camera focus.

Synopsis camera	focus { near [] | far [] stop | mode {get | auto | manual} }
Options	near	Brings the focus nearer to the camera; manual mode only
	far	Moves the focus farther from the camera; manual mode only
	speed <1 - 8> Optional: focus	speed (integer)
	mode get	Returns the current focus mode
	mode auto	Puts the camera in auto-focus mode
	mode manual	Puts the camera in manual focus mode
	stop	Stops the focus movement
Examples	camera focus far 7OK>Moves the focus farther from the camera at a speed of 7.camera focus mode getauto_focus: onOK>Returns the current focus mode.

camera ccu scene

Stores the current CCU scene or recalls the specified ccu scene.

Synopsis camera	ccu scene {recall {factory <1 - 6> | custom <1 - 3>} | store custom <1 - 3>}
Options recall	factory <1 - 6>recall custom <1 - 3>	Recalls the camera to the specified scene (factory 1 - 6 or custom 1 - 3)
	store custom <1 - 3> Saves	the current scene as a custom scene
Examples	>camera ccu scene recall factory 2OK>Sets the camera to use factory CCU scene 2.>camera ccu scene store custom 1OK>Saves the current CCU scene as custom CCU scene 1.

Troubleshooting and Care

When the camera doesn't behave as you expect, check the status lights on the front before you do anything else. See Status Lights.

Note

If the symptoms suggest even the smallest possibility of a bad cable, please try a known good Factory-made cables can be defective. Cables can appear to be good but only work part of the cable may pass a standard continuity check but be unable to pass enough power to the connected device. Crimping tools can crimp unevenly, contacts can break internally, and individual conductors the cable can break inside the jacketing material. Any of these can result in a cable that passes continuity check but does not work reliably.

(The author would like to confess having made a certain number of almost-good cables. It happen

Glossary

AEC

Acoustic echo cancellation. Audio processing that subtracts the far-end (speaker) audio from the sound that your microphone picks up.

auto white balance

A setting that allows the camera to manage color adjustments automatically.

Autoframing

Vaddio's motion-based technology for automatically keeping the camera on the action.

backlight compensation

A setting that reduces contrast to adjust for bright light behind the main subject of the shot.

bandwidth

Data transfer rate (bits per second) for the stream. In some cases, using a high bandwidth can slow down other network traffic. On networks with very low bandwidth, video issues may result. Streaming at a lower resolution or frame rate can reduce bandwidth usage.

CCU scene

A stored set of color and lighting adjustments. (CCU = Camera Control Unit)

chroma

A setting that adjusts color intensity.

Default Wide

Autoframing setting, enabled by default. Causes the camera to zoom all the way out if it detects no motion. When disabled, the camera remains on the last shot where motion was detected.

detail

A setting that adjusts image sharpness. If detail is set too low, the image may appear unrealistically smooth.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A network management protocol that assigns an IP address to a device automatically when it is connected to the network.

DIY

Do It Yourself. As in, "You can copy information from this document to create a DIY room guide customized for your conference room." Yes! You can do that! In fact, the "Info for DIY Room Guides" document is specifically designed for you to adapt and customize.

dynamic range

The amount of difference between extremes - for example, the darkest and lightest areas in a shot, or the softest and loudest sounds that a microphone picks up.

echo cancellation

Audio processing that subtracts the far-end (speaker) audio from the sound that your microphone picks up.

ePTZ

Electronic pan/tilt/zoom. No motors needed!

far end

(conferencing) A location in the conference other than the one where you are. Far-end video is what you typically see in a conference – the people at the other end of the call.

Field of View (FOV)

How wide the video image is. Vaddio measures horizontal field of view. Some manufacturers use diagonal field of view, which yields a bigger number for the same actual image area. Tilt your head to one side and diagonal FOV will make sense.

flombodulator

A technically complex item the name of which you can't recall at the moment.

frame rate

The number of output video frames per second. Different outputs (such as the IP stream and the USB stream) may use different frame rates. For streaming, higher frame rates use more bandwidth.

full-duplex

Simultaneous two-way (or multi-way) audio; conference participants at the near end can talk and still hear the participants at the far end(s), as in a face-to-face meeting.

gamma

A setting that adjusts the range (gray density) between bright areas and shadows.

gateway

Network information automatically assigned in a DHCP network. If installing equipment on a non-DHCP network, get this information from the network administrator.

HDMI

A video output format; may also carry audio information.

HID audio controls

(Human Interface Device) Controls to enable conference participants to use the conferencing client to control the audio.

home

The button (web interface or remote) that restarts Autoframing.

HTTP

HyperText Transfer Protocol. The magic that makes websites work.

HTTPS

HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure. The magic that uses encryption to make websites work securely. See SSL certificate for more information.

IP address

Where a given device is on the IP network, logically. The IP address enables the network to route data to the right device – and that's the reason IP address conflicts are bad.

IP address conflict

Two or more devices attempting to use the same IP address on a network. Results are unpredictable but never good.

LED

Light-Emitting Diode. An indicator light.

mask (autoframing)

An area where the camera does not evaluate motion. Create masks to keep the camera from framing unwanted motion or pixel changes such as doorways, windows, and projection screens.

mic

Microphone. Pronounced "mike" because the etymology matters more than English pronunciation rules, which are inconsistent anyway.

MTU

Maximum Transmission Unit. The largest number of bytes allowed in a packet. If you don't know what that means, don't change MTU size.

near end

(conferencing) Your location in a conference. When you mute the video, your camera stops sending near-end video.

NLP

Non-Linear Processing. Removes certain particularly challenging types of undesirable audio, such as the echo in a room without acoustic treatment, or background chatter in an office.

noise

Changes that are not meaningful. Audio noise typically sounds like a background hiss; video noise is visible at relatively low resolution as individual pixels randomly changing color.

noise threshold

The amount of noise that is ignored. Autoframing does not work properly unless the noise threshold is set high enough to allow video noise (such as shifting light levels) to be ignored.

NTP

Network Time Protocol. Ensures that NTP-enabled devices on the network all show the same system time, so timestamps are accurate.

pairing

The process of "teaching" two specific devices to recognize each other. The HuddleSHOT camera and its remote must be paired for the remote to control the camera.

PoE, PoE+, PoE++

Power over Ethernet; a means of powering a device using its network connection. Requires a mid-span power injector. PoE+ and PoE++ deliver more power than PoE.

preset

A stored camera shot. Contains pan, tilt, and zoom position; may also include color and Tri-Sync Motion speed settings.

resolution

1. The image size. For Vaddio cameras, resolution is expressed in terms of digital TV standards, with 1080p being the default in most cases. Resolution and frame rate are set together on Vaddio cameras. 2. The thing that usually flies out the window by January 10th.

RTMP

Real-Time Messaging Protocol. Used for livestreaming video (and audio, if available) to a service such as YouTube Live.

RTSP

Real-Time Streaming Protocol. Used for streaming video and audio over your network.

soft conferencing client

A conferencing application (such as Zoom, Google Hangouts, or Skype for Business) that uses a computer rather than requiring a conferencing codec.

SSL certificate

A file used with HTTPS proving that a web page really originates from its purported source. If you enable or require HTTPS on a camera or other device without installing an SSL certificate, your browser will pop up security warnings when you try to browse to the device's web interface.

streaming protocol

A set of rules that define how video and audio data are sent over the network. See RTMP and RTSP.

subnet mask

Network information automatically assigned in a DHCP network. If installing equipment on a non-DHCP network, get this information from the network administrator.

tracking

Keeping the camera on a subject by following a specific target such as a tracking device that the subject carries or wears.

UAC drivers

(Universal Audio Class) Standard USB audio drivers used by Vaddio conferencing products with audio capabilities.

UCC, UC conferencing

Unified Communications Conferencing; refers to soft-client conferencing (such as Zoom or Skype for Business) using a computer with USB-connected peripherals.

USB playback

Audio from other sites (far-end audio) in a conference call.

USB record

Audio from your site (near-end audio) in a conference call.

UVC drivers

(Universal Video Class) Standard USB video drivers used by Vaddio cameras. They're the reason your computer doesn't have to stop and download a driver when you connect your new Vaddio USB camera to it.

UVC extensions

Controls in UVC drivers to allow participants at the far end of a conference to control your camera, if it processes UVC commands. The administrator may choose to disable these.
