1. The next thing you would want to do is change your camera's IP address to be in the same range as your network. The camera comes with a default static IP address of 192.168.100.99. You will need to update that to be in the same range as your network. If you look at the example above, you can see from the other cameras on the network, that the network is set up to be in the range of 192.168.111.XXX. Please see the "Extras" section at the end of this document for further information on finding your network IP scheme.
2. Once you know your IP range you can right click on the camera you wish to change the IP address for and click "Config". Note: if you need to find the IP range of your network, you can do so by following the guide in the extras section at the end of this document.

You should now be able to set your camera's IP address to one in the range of your network. You should be able to leave the subnet mask alone, unless you are configuring the camera for use across subnets.

(Note that in more complex network environments you may have to request a "Static IP" from the Network Administrator(s) to prevent any possible complications on your network in addition request the appropriate Network Mask, Default Gateway and First DNS for use with Static IP)

1. Now that you have set the Static IP address of your HuddleCamHD camera, you should be able to access the WebUI for control and settings via a web browser.

2. Open your desired browser and type in the Static IP address you assigned to your camera, in step 4, you will be prompted for a Username and Password, both are "admin" by default.

3. You may be prompted to download the ActiveX component for live viewing if utilizing Microsoft Internet Explorer (not Edge). Currently no other browsers are supported.

4. You should have full P / T / Z control over your camera using the P / T / Z controls on the left side. You can adjust many of your camera's settings via the IP interface and if using Internet Explorer with the ActiveX plugin you will also receive a live preview.

Extras.

1. Discovering your Network IP range.

a. Changing you IP address without talking to your network admin could lead to conflicts with your network.
b. If you change your address to one that is already in use it will cause communications problems.

1. If you need to discover the IP address range of your network you can do so by using command prompt for Windows or Terminal for Apple computers.
2. To do this on a PC, you would type "CMD" into your search bar in the Windows menu. You should see a black box pop up with the ability to type in the box.
3. If you type "ipconfig" and hit "Enter" on your keyboard you will see a bunch of information pop up in your command prompt.
4. When you see "IPv4 Address" that is your computers IP address on your current network. So you would use the first 3 sets of numbers from this as your IP range.

1. If you need to find the IP range of your Apple computer, you would first open a new finder window and then go to Applications, and then Utilities. You should see the program "Terminal" in that menu, select that program.
2. Now, you would type in "IP config getifaddr en0". Once you type this string and click "Enter" on your keyboard you will receive back an IP address.
3. So the IP range of the network, according to the Apple computer is 192.168.111.xxx, you can use this to figure out the IP range in which your camera needs to be set.

2. Streams (1 - 3)

NDI® Modes:

Users can select from pre-determined high-quality IP stream settings for use with NDI®

"NDI Ultra" will provide a 2160@30 fps NDI® feed

"NDI Medium" will provide a 1080@30 NDI® feed

"NDI Low" will provide a 720@30 NDI® feed

NDI modes set the NDI ^® preview mode at a 360@30 NDI ^® feed

Resolution:

The first stream allows for the following output resolutions: 1920x1080, 1280x720, 1024x576, 960x540, 640x480, 640x360 resolutions

The second stream allows for the following output resolutions: 3840x2160@15, 1920x1080, 1280x720, 1024x576, 720x480, 720x408, 640x360, 480x270, 320x240, 320x180 resolutions.

The third stream allows for the following output resolutions: 1024x576, 960x540, 720x480, 720x408, 640x360, 480x270, 320x240, 320x180 resolutions.

Bit Rate:

Users can assign the bit rate of the stream (Bitrate range is from 32 kbps \~ 102400 kbps noting that bandwidth is shared by all three streams).

Maximum Frame Rate:

Users can specify the maximum frame rate (fps or frames per second). Higher frame rates provide smoother video but require higher bit rate settings..

Output is limited to a maximum of 30 fps.

I Key Frame Interval:

This setting defines how many predicted frames will be used for each actual frame provided (from 1-1200). Shorter intervals increase video quality at the cost of requiring higher bit rates in order to look good, it is best to consult the recommended settings for your ingestion system.

Bit Rate Control Method:

Constant Bit Rate (CBR): The video encoder will encode at a constant rate as set in bitrate setting.

Variable Bit Rate (VBR): The video encoder will encode at a variable rate, with a maximum as set in the bit rate setting.

VBR should only be used when working against bandwidth constraints.

Fluctuation Level:

This setting affects how aggressive variable bit rate adjustments will be (Fluctuate Range is from 1 \~ 6).

Spikes that are too large may affect video quality.

Low levels will not save on as much bandwidth

Control Notes for PTZ Control

The camera currently supports various PTZ control methods including: The web interface, HTTP-CGI and TCP/UDP protocols

The camera includes an internal TCP server with the default port number of 5678.

When the client and server set up a TCP connection, the client sends commands to the internal server and the server will then parse and execute the PTZ commands.

The camera includes an internal UDP server with the default port number of 1259.

When the client and server set up a UDP connection, the client sends commands to the internal server and the server will then parse and execute the PTZ commands.

The HuddleCamHD command format based on VISCA / VISCA over IP can be found online at HuddleCamHD.com/Resources

HTTP CGI Control: The camera's integrated web server supports HTTP-CGI for control. Please see command list below for reference.

Photobooth Functionality.

Your HuddleCamHD camera has the ability to quickly, and easily, take a series of four (4) still images or video files that are stored on the camera and made accessible with a standard web browser on the same network. We'll cover how to use this new feature to take still images, videos and how to retrieve them.

Photos.

You have two (2) options to initiate a series of four (4) still images being captured...

You can enter the following HTTP string into any web browser on the same network as the camera to initiate a series of four (4) still images.

Take Still Images: http:///cgi-bin/booth.cgi?0&4&&photo&0

In this example the variable “delay” is utilized to add additional delay, in seconds, between still images being taken. The variable “delay” can have any value from 1 - 9, with the values representing time in seconds

You can also press the "F1" button on your IR remote to initiate a "quick capture" that has, approximately, a four (4) second delay between four (4) still images being captured.

To retrieve your series of four (4) still images you will need to open a standard web browser with network access to the camera and use the following HTTP strings to retrieve the still image files as desired.

Still Image 1: http:///photo1.jpg

Still Image 2: http:///photo2.jpg

Still Image 3: http:///photo3.jpg

Still image 4: http:///photo4.jpg

Videos

You have two (2) options to initiate a series of four (4) videos being captured...

You can enter the following HTTP string into any web browser on the same network as the camera to initiate a series of four (4) video recordings.

Take Video: http:///cgi-bin/booth.cgi?0&4&&video&

In this example the variable “delay” is utilized to add additional delay, in seconds, between videos being taken. The variable “delay” can have any value from 1 - 9 with the values representing time in seconds.

In this example the variable “length” is utilized to adjust the overall length, in seconds, of each video file. The variable “length” can have any value from 1 - 10 with the values representing time in seconds.

Video 1: http:///video1.mp4

Video 2: http:///video2.mp4

Video 3: http:///video3.mp4

Video 4: http:///video4.mp4

Video Note: It can take the camera time for the video files to be fully captured and processed; if they are not retrievable please wait an additional 30 - 60 seconds for the process to complete
