Configuring Network Settings
NETWORKING PAGE
Editable network settings include:
■ The camera's hostname
■ Choice of static IP addressing or DHCP addressing
■ IP address, subnet mask, and gateway, if static IP addressing is used
If your network supports hostname resolution, you may find it convenient to change the camera's hostname.
DHCP is the default setting, but the camera will use the default address of 169.254.1.1 if no DHCP server is available.
You will only be able to enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway if you set IP Address to Static. Caution
Consult your IT department before changing any network settings. Errors in network configuration can make the camera and its IP stream inaccessible from the network. Do not change DHCP/Static addressing, IP address, subnet mask, or gateway unless you are very familiar with the characteristics configuration of the network where you install the camera.

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.
-
To make the time zone and NTP server editable, enable Automatic NTP Updating.
-
Select the desired time zone from the list.
-
If desired, specify the NTP server to use. Otherwise, use the default.
You may need to refresh the system time display.

Managing Access and Passwords
SECURITY PAGE
Things you can do on this page:
■ Allow people to access the Camera screen without logging on (Allow Guest Access)
■ Set whether inactive sessions log off automatically or not (Automatically Expire Idle Sessions)
■ Change the password for the admin account
■ Change the password for the user account
■ Disable access via Telnet (by default, access via Telnet is enabled)
Some of these capabilities may be absent if the camera has not been updated with recent firmware.
Note
For best security, Vaddio strongly recommends changing the user and admin passwords from the default. Using the default passwords leaves the product vulnerable to tampering.

Configuring Camera Behavior
Basic camera configuration tasks are available on the Camera page:
■ Storing the Home zoom level and other zoom presets
■ Adjusting for the lighting in the room
Streaming settings are on the Streaming page. Other camera configuration tasks are on the DIP Switches tab of the System page. Settings include:
■ Video resolution
■ How the camera responds to the remote
■ Enabling or disabling the laser pointer
■ Status light behavior and color scheme
■ Codec control mode (off/on)
Configuring IP Streaming
STREAMING PAGE
IP streaming is enabled by default. Use the Enable IP Streaming checkbox to change this.

Editing IP Streaming Settings
STREAMING PAGE
Note
The IP streaming resolution cannot be higher than the value set with the video resolution switch back of the camera. (See Video Resolution for information on setting the switch.) If the selected value is out of range, the camera will automatically adjust the streaming resolution.
If you are not sure about these settings, start with the defaults.
-
Select the Quality Mode: Easy or Custom. Easy mode configures most settings automatically.
-
Select the desired IP streaming resolution.

- Easy quality mode only: Select Video Quality.

- Custom quality mode only: Select the desired IP streaming frame rate.

-
Custom quality mode only: Select Constant or Variable bit rate.
-
Custom quality mode, Constant bit rate only: Set Max Bandwidth.

- Custom quality mode, Variable bit rate only: Set the Quality (Quantization) slider.

- Save your changes.
Protocol and Streaming URL
STREAMING PAGE
The camera uses the RTSP protocol for H.264 streaming. Resolutions range from 1080p down to CIF; frame rates are 60/30/25/15.
RTSP port: Vaddio strongly recommends using the default RTSP port number.
Streaming URL: If necessary, edit the path name to change the portion of the streaming URL that appears after the IP address.
Adjusting for the Lighting in the Room
CAMERA PAGE
The camera's default settings include the Auto CCU scene, Auto Iris, and Auto White balance, to allow the camera to do most of the lighting adjustments on its own. Our technical experts (specifically Scott) have pre-loaded some additional adjustments for common lighting scenarios as factory-defined CCU scenes – Incandescent Hi, Incandescent Lo, Fluorescent Hi, Fluorescent Lo, and Outdoor.

If the Auto settings don't yield the results you want, pick the CCU scene button with the label that best describes the lighting in the room. Then fine-tune the lighting and color adjustments as needed using the Color Settings:
■ Auto Iris manages light level adjustments automatically. Clear this checkbox to adjust iris and gain manually.
■ Auto White Balance manages color automatically. Clear this checkbox to adjust red gain and blue gain manually.
■ If there is bright light behind the main subject of the shot, check the box for Back Light Compensation. This setting is only available if you are using Auto Iris.
■ To adjust the intensity of the color, use the Chroma slider.
■ To adjust the contrast between light and dark areas, use the Gamma slider.
■ To adjust the image sharpness, use the Detail slider.
Note
If the video looks grainy or "noisy," try a lower Detail setting. As in conversation, too much dei
If you make a change that you don't like, you can clear all your changes by selecting a CCU scene.
If you will want to use your color and lighting adjustments again (for example, after changing to a different zoom preset), save them as a custom CCU scene.
If you do not save your adjustments as a custom CCU scene, they will no longer be available after any action that accesses or affects color and lighting adjustments. These actions include:
■ Rebooting the camera
■ Putting the camera in standby mode
■ Selecting a zoom preset that has color and lighting adjustments associated with it
To save a custom CCU scene:
- Adjust color and lighting. When the scene looks the way you want it to, click Store CCU Scene.
- In the Store CCU Scene dialog box, select which custom scene to store (Custom A, B, or C).
- Save your custom scene.

To rename a custom CCU scene:
Right-click a CCU scene label and make the change in the dialog box that opens.

Setting the Home Zoom Level and Other Zoom Presets
CAMERA PAGE
You can define a default zoom level – the Home preset. The camera returns to this level on powering up from standby or following a reboot. You can also define other zoom presets, for views that you will want to use repeatedly.
All zoom presets may include color and lighting information as well as zoom level.
Note
The Store Preset dialog does not show which presets have already been defined. Storing a preset overwrites any information that was previously associated with that preset.

To set a zoom preset:
- Set up the shot.
- Optional: Adjust the color settings as needed.
- Note which presets have not been defined.
- In the Presets area, select Store.
-
Select the preset number that you want to store.
-
Optional: Check the "Store with current color settings" box. This is super-helpful if you adjusted the color settings in step 2.

To rename a zoom preset:
Right-click the preset and enter a name in the dialog box that opens.
To clear a zoom preset:
Storing a zoom preset automatically overwrites any information previously associated with that preset. To clear a preset without storing new information, select Reset in the Presets area. Then select the preset to be cleared, and select Reset in the Reset Presets dialog box.
Setting Video Output Resolution
SYSTEM PAGE, DIP SWITCHES TAB
The video output resolution set on the System page determines the resolution available on the video output (s) of the connected OneLINK device or HDBaseT-capable third-party equipment. It also determines the maximum resolution available for the IP stream.
To change the video output resolution:
Select the resolution and frame rate from the table. The arrow on the soft rotary switch points at the character corresponding to your selection.

Enabling or Disabling the Laser Pointer
SYSTEM PAGE, DIP SWITCHES TAB
By default, the laser pointer is enabled. To disable it, use the soft DIP switch for Laser Enabled/Laser Disabled.

All DocCAM 20 HDBT part numbers:
The Vaddio serial command protocol is a high-level, text-based command line interface supported via Telnet session on the camera. The API is accessed by a telnet client on the Ethernet port; the default Telnet port is 23. Telnet sessions require the administrator account login.
The command application protocol interface is intended to allow external device such as AMX or Crestron to control the camera. The protocol is based upon ASCII format following the VT100 terminal emulation standard and uses an intuitive text command nomenclature for ease of use.
General format usage follows a get/set structure. Usage examples for each type are:
Set Example
COMMAND: > camera zoom in
RESPONSE: > OK
Get Example
COMMAND: > camera ccu get iris
RESPONSE: > iris 11

Syntax Error Example
COMMAND: > camera preset 1
RESPONSE: >Syntax error: Unknown or incomplete command
Using a question mark as a command parameter will bring up a list of available commands for the menu you are in.
Things to know about control via Telnet session:
■ Command lines are terminated with a carriage return.
■ All ASCII characters (including carriage returns) are echoed to the terminal program and appended with the VT100 string ESC[J (hex 1B 5B 4A), which most terminal programs automatically strip.
■ CTRL-5 Clears the current serial buffer on the device.
Typographical conventions:
■ {x | y | z} - Choose x, y, or z.
-
■ < x - y > - Valid range of values is from x through y.
■ [optional] – Parameter is not required.
