Web Interface
The camera's web interface allows control via a network connection, using a browser. Password-protected pages provide administrative access to tasks such as setting passwords, changing the IP address, viewing diagnostics, and installing firmware updates. The user login (or guest access, if it is enabled) provides access to camera controls similar to those available from the IR remote.
You will need to know the camera's IP address to use the web interface. If the LAN has a DHCP server, the camera will get its IP address, gateway and routing information automatically and you will be able to browse to it. If not, you will need to configure the camera to use a static IP address.
To display the camera's IP address:
- Point the remote at the camera and press the Data Screen button. The camera overlays its IP address and MAC address on the video output.
- Press the button again to dismiss the information display.
If the address is 169.254.1.1, the camera is using its default IP address and you will need to configure it for your network. You can configure the camera's static IP address either through the network or from a computer connected directly to its Ethernet port. You may need a crossover cable.
Note
Work with your IT department to determine the correct IP address, subnet mask, and gateway info
To access the web interface:
Enter the IP address or hostname in your browser's address bar. If you use the hostname, you may need to enter http://or https://as a prefix to keep the browser from treating it as a search query.
Browser Support
We have tested this product with these web browsers:
Chrome®
■ Microsoft® Internet Explorer®
■ Safari®
■ Firefox®
We test using the browser version available from the vendor at that time. Older versions of these browsers are likely to work, and other browsers may also work.

Configuring Network Settings
NETWORKING PAGE
Caution
Consult your IT department before editing network settings. Errors in network configuration can make camera and its IP stream inaccessible from the network. Do not change DHCP/Static addressing, address, subnet mask, or gateway unless you are very familiar with the characteristics and config the network where you install the camera.

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.
Setting 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. If you are not sure about this, use the default.

Managing Access and Passwords
SECURITY PAGE
Things you can do on this page:
- Allow people to access the Controls screen without logging on (Allow Guest Access) – this is enabled by default
- Set whether inactive sessions log off automatically or not (Automatically Expire Idle Sessions) – by default, inactive sessions expire after 30 minutes
■ Change the password for the admin account (default is password)
■ Change the password for the user account (default is password)
■ Disable Telnet access
The Security page also provides advanced settings for web access, to configure the camera to comply with your organization's network security policies.
Note
For best security, Vaddio strongly recommends changing the user and admin passwords. Using the default passwords leaves the product vulnerable to tampering. Be sure you have a way to find the passwords after changing them.

Advanced settings include:
■ Use HTTPS connection/Use HTTP connection
■ HTTP Access Enabled (selected by default)
■ Manage SSL Certificate
Note
Consult your IT department before disabling Telnet access or making any changes to the Advance settings.

Adding Room Information to the Screen

Configuring Camera Behavior
Basic camera configuration tasks are available on the Camera page:
■ Set a custom Home position and other presets
■ Adjust for the lighting in the room
■ Set pan, tilt, and zoom speeds
Other camera configuration tasks are available on these pages:
■ Streaming – IP streaming settings
■ System (DIP Switches tab) – How the camera responds to the remote, status light behavior, image flip, and other settings
Storing Preset Positions Including Custom Home
- Set up the camera shot, then use the Store button to open the Store Preset box.
- Select one of the preset buttons - either a numbered preset or the Home button.
- To save the current CCU settings along with the camera position, check Store with Current Color Settings.
- Store the preset.

Adjusting the Color Settings
Fine-tune the color and lighting as needed using the Color Settings controls.
■ Auto Iris allows the camera to compensate automatically for the light level. Clear this box to adjust iris and gain manually.
■ Backlight Compensation (available with Auto Iris) 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 with Auto Iris) 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 between bright areas and shadows.
If you make a change that you don't like, start over by selecting and then deselecting Auto White Balance.

Adjusting the Focus
Open the Focus control to select Auto-focus, or to set manual focus with the + (near) and - (far) buttons.

Setting the Speeds of Camera Movements
To set speeds for movements to presets:
In the Global Preset Speeds section, set the speeds for movements to presets.
To set speeds for movements using the arrow buttons:
Use the speed sliders to adjust the speed of movements that you control with the buttons for pan, tilt, and zoom. For tight shots, slower is usually better.
Setting Pan Direction
By default, the arrow buttons move the camera in the direction that viewers at the far end would see. If you face the camera and use the left arrow button, the camera pans to your right.
To switch the camera pan direction to the near end point of view, use the Settings button to open the pan and tilt direction box. Then set Pan Direction to Inverted.

Note
To change tilt direction, please use the soft DIP switch on the System page.
Enabling or Disabling Streaming
STREAMING PAGE
IP streaming is enabled by default. Clear the Enable IP Streaming checkbox to change this.

Configuring IP Streaming
STREAMING PAGE
Note
The web interface presents all the possible streaming resolutions values, but the IP stream cannot higher than the value set with the video resolution switch on the back of the camera. (See Video Resolution for information on setting the switch.) If the selected value is out of range, the camera will adjust the streaming resolution.
If you are not sure about these settings, start with the defaults.
-
Select the video Quality Mode: Easy or Custom. Easy takes care of most settings automatically; Custom provides additional control.
-
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.

Advanced IP Streaming Settings
Consult your IT department before changing these.
RTSP port: Vaddio strongly recommends using the default RTSP port number unless you need to change it. Consult your IT department.
Streaming URL: Edit the path to change the portion of the streaming URL that appears after the IP address, if necessary.
Setting Other Camera Behaviors
SYSTEM PAGE, DIP SWITCHES TAB
The DIP Switches tab of the System page provides access to these features via soft switches:
Camera ID (IR Settings) – The IR Remote Commander can control up to three cameras in the same room with different IR frequencies. Use IR Settings switches 1 and 2 to select the frequency to identify the camera as camera 1, 2, or 3; then use the Camera Select buttons at the top of the remote to select the camera you want to control.
Image Flip - If mounting the camera upside-down, set IMAGE FLIP ON.
Baud Rate (9600 bps or 38400 bps) - RS-232 serial communication rate.
HDMI color - YCbCr (default) or sRGB.
LED color scheme – Status light color codes for Pro AV (broadcast) or UC (unified conferencing); set to Pro AV by default, to follow the standard for broadcast cameras. At this time, the two color schemes are functionally identical on this camera.
LED on/off – In most cases, Vaddio recommends leaving the status light on, to let people in the room know whether the camera is currently sending video.
S-Video NTSC/PAL - US (NTSC) or European (PAL) format.
Enable/Disable LED in Standby Mode – If the LED is enabled in standby (low-power) mode, it illuminates purple when the camera is in standby mode. If the LED is disabled, it turns off when the camera is in standby mode.

Note
By default, the camera's status light is active during normal operation; however, it can be configured to remain off when the camera is powered up. The camera may be sending video even if the inc off.
Operating the Camera
CONTROLS PAGE (USER OR GUEST ACCESS)
The Controls page provides most of the same controls as the IR Remote Commander:
■ Pan, tilt, zoom, or return to home position
■ Stop or resume transmitting live camera video (video mute)
■ Put the camera in standby or bring it back to the ready state
■ Move to camera presets, if any have been stored

Moving the Camera
Use the arrow buttons for camera pan and tilt. The center button moves the camera to the home position.
Zooming In or Out
Use the Zoom + button to zoom in and the Zoom - button to zoom out.
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.
Stopping or Resuming Video
Use the Mute button to temporarily stop video from the camera without placing it in standby. Remember that the mute button does not mute the room's microphones. In video mute mode, the camera transmits blue or black video, with a message that the video is muted.

Managing the Camera Ready State
Use the Standby button to switch between low-power (standby) and ready states.
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.
Note
When you connect via Telnet, you must log in using the account.
The command format follows a get/set structure. Here are some examples:
| Command | camera pan right |
| Response | OK> |
| Command | camera focus mode auto |
| Response | OK> |
| Command | camera ccu get iris |
| Response | iris 6OK> |

Use a question mark as a command parameter to bring up a list of commands, subcommands, or command parameters. For example:
> camera focus ?
near Focus the camera near far Focus the camera far stop Stop the camera focus mode Camera focus mode
Things you might need 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:
■ n {x | y | z} - Choose x, y, or z.
■ n
■ n < x - y > - Valid range of values is from x through y.
■ n [optional] - Parameter is not required.

Troubleshooting and Care
When the camera doesn't behave as you expect, check the indicator light on the front before you do anything else.
Use this table to determine whether it's time to call Vaddio Technical Support.
| What is it doing? Possible causes Check and correct | ||
| Nothing.The light on the front is off no video is available. | At least one of the cables is bad. | Check using known good cables. |
| The wall outlet is not active.(Check by finding out if it powers something else, such as a laptop or phone charger.) | Use a different outlet. | |
| The camera or its power support is bad. | Contact your reseller or Vaddio Technical Support. | |
| The light on the front of the camera is off but the web interface and video are available. | The status light is turned off. | You can turn it on again using the LED soft DIP switch on the System page, or using the Telnet command camera led on. |
| The camera is not responding to the remote and the light yellow. | A firmware update is in progress. | Wait a few minutes, and try again when the light turns blue. |
| The camera does not respond to the remote, but the web interface is available. | The remote is not using the same IR channel as the camera. | Push the Camera Select 1 button on the remote. |
| The batteries in the remote dead. | Put new batteries in the remote. | |
| The camera responds to the remote but the web interface is not available. | The camera is not using the address you browsed to. | Press the Data Screen button on the remote to see camera information. |
| The camera's web UI is available but the camera does not respond to commands via RS-232 connection. | The RS-232 cable is not connected, or is bad. | Connect a known good cable. |
| The camera's RS-232 settings don't match the settings on controlling device. | Check the settings at both ends to be there they match. The camera's baud rate can be viewed but not changed on the System page in the web UI. | |
| The camera loses all its settings when power is cycle | The rotary switch is in the position. (Verify on the DIP Switches tab of the System page.) | Set the rotary switch to a valid video resolution. See Video Resolution Settings for more information. |
| No H.264 video stream. IP streaming is not enabled. Enable IP streaming: Streaming page in the web interface. | ||
| Status light blinks yellow Pan or tilt motor is out of calibration | Reset the pan and tilt motors. See Correct a Motor Calibration Error. | |
Correct a Motor Calibration Error
If the web interface presents an error message about the motors, or if the camera's status light is blinking yellow, you will need to reset the pan and tilt motors.
- On the Camera Controls page, select Settings to open the pan and tilt settings box; OR
On the System page, go to the Firmware tab if you are on a different tab.
- Select Pan-Tilt Reset. The motors recalibrate. This takes a few seconds.
Status Light
The light in the camera's base indicates its current state.
■ Blue – Camera is active
■ Purple – Standby mode or booting
- Yellow – Firmware update is in progress
■ Blinking red – Video mute is on (UC color scheme only)
■ Blinking yellow – Motor out of calibration
■ Blinking purple - Error
Caution
Do not remove power or reset the camera while the indicator is yellow, showing a firmware upa progress. Interrupting a firmware update can make the camera unusable.
Note
By default, the camera's status light is active during normal operation; however, it can be configured to remain off when the camera is powered up. The camera may be sending video even if the incn off.
Restoring Default Camera Settings
Factory reset clears most settings and returns soft DIP switches (on the DIP Switches tab of the System page) to their default positions.
Using the rotary switch on the back of the camera: Disconnect power, set the switch to the D position, and reconnect power. Wait for the camera to finish booting. Then disconnect power again, return the switch to the desired resolution setting, and reconnect power.
From the web interface: Log on using the admin account, go to the System page's Firmware tab, and select Restore Factory Settings.
