Network Connection

1. Operating Environment

Operating System: Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista/7/8.1/10

Network Protocol: TCP/IP

Client PC: P4 / 128M RAM / 40GHD / support for scaled graphics card, support for DirectX8.0 or more advanced version.

2. Equipment Installation

1) Connect camera to your network via a CAT5 or CAT6 patch cable or directly to your PC via a CAT5 or CAT6 cross over cable.
2) Turn on camera power.
3) If successful, the orange network light will illuminate and the green light will start flashing. If unsuccessful, the cable is bad, you are using the wrong cable, or you have connected to an inactive network jack.

3. Network Connection

Connection method between network camera and computer, as in pictures 1.1 and 1.2, below:

Setting up a Network Video Stream

  1. The first thing you are going to want to do to get your camera up and streaming on your network is to connect your camera to power, an active network port on your network, and finally, power on the camera.

  2. Next, go online and download the IP Address Settings Tool. It's available for Windows & Mac OS at ptzoptics.com/download.

  3. Once you complete the download, launch the "Upgrade v2.8C" tool. Select your network connection type from the "Interface" dropdown menu and click "Search".

  1. The next thing you would want to do is change your cameras IP address to be in the same range as your network. The camera comes with a default IP address of 192.168.100.99.

a. See the "Additional Network Info" section to identify your network scheme.

  1. Right-click on the camera you wish to change the IP address of and select "Config".

a. You have two (2) options for assigning the IP address of your camera. You can manually assign the IP address by assigning a static IP address, or you can have a DHCP server automatically assign a dynamic IP address to your camera.

b. Note: In more complex network environments, you may need to request a static IP address, Network Mask, Default Gateway, & First DNS from your IT department.

  1. After assigning an IP address to the camera, you can reach the Web Interface by typing in the camera's IP address into a web browser. To log in, type in "admin" into the username and password fields.

From the Web Interface, you have two (2) ways to view the video feed.

a. Set the secondary stream to MJPEG.
b. Install the PTZOptics ActiveX Plugin and use Internet Explorer.

i. For more detail, go to help.ptzoptics.com.

  1. From the Web Interface, you can control the camera using the arrows on the left side. You can also adjust many of your camera's settings via this IP interface.
  2. You can now receive an RTSP stream from your camera. To view the RTSP stream, type in "rtsp://[Camera IP address]:554/1" for the first (HD) stream, and "rtsp://[Camera IP address]:554/2" for the second (SD) stream.
  3. You can test the RTSP streaming in VLC Media Player. Once VLC is installed and launched, click the "Media" drop down menu and select "Open Network Stream"

Network Camera Control Protocol

Control Notes:

PTZ over TCP/UDP

The camera currently supports various PTZ control methods, including RS232, RS485, IR remote control, web interface, HTTP-CGI and TCP/UDP protocol.

The camera includes an internal TCP server. The default port number is 5678. When client and server set up a TCP connection, the client sends PTZ command to the internal server and the server will then parse and execute the PTZ commands.

The camera includes an internal UDP server. The default port number is 1259. When client and server set up a UDP connection, the client sends PTZ commands to the internal server and the server will then parse and execute the PTZ commands.

The command format based on VISCA is shown above in the Serial Communication Control Section

Photobooth Functionality

Your PTZOptics camera can quickly and easily take a series of four (4) still image or video files that are stored on the camera and made accessible with a standard web browser on the same network.

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.

http://[Camera IP]/cgi-bin/booth.cgi?0&4&[Delay]&photo&0

In this example, [Delay] is utilized to add additional delay, in seconds, between still images being taken. [Delay] can have any value from 1 - 9 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.

Image 1: http://[Camera IP]/photo1.jpg

Image 2: http://[Camera IP]/photo2.jpg

Image 3: http://[Camera IP]/photo3.jpg

Image 4: http://[Camera IP]/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.

http://[Camera IP]/cgi-bin/booth.cgi?0&4&[Delay]&video&[Length]

In this example, [Delay] is utilized to add additional delay, in seconds, between videos being taken. [Delay] can have any value from 1 - 9 seconds.

In this example, [Length] is utilized to adjust the overall length, in seconds, of each video file. [Length] can have any value from 1 - 10 seconds.

You can also press the “[F2]” button on your IR remote to initiate a “quick capture” that has, approximately, a four (4)

second delay between four (4) ten (10) second videos being captured.

To retrieve your series of four (4) videos, 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.

Video 1: http://[Camera IP]/video1.mp4

Video 2: http://[Camera IP]/video2.mp4

Video 3: http://[Camera IP]/video3.mp4

Video 4: http://[Camera IP]/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.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Camera Maintenance

  • If the camera will not be used for a long time, please turn off the power switch.
  • Use a soft cloth or lotion-free tissue to clean the camera body.
  • Use a soft dry lint-free cloth to clean the lens. If the camera is very dirty, clean it with a diluted neutral detergent. Do not use any type of solvent or harsh detergent, which may damage the surface.

Unqualified Applications

  • Do not shoot extremely bright objects for a long period of time, such as sunlight, ultra-bright light sources, etc...
  • Do not operate in unstable lighting conditions, otherwise the image may flicker.
  • Do not operate close to powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as TV or radio transmitters, etc...

Troubleshooting

- No image

  1. Check whether the power cord is connected, voltage is OK, POWER lamp is lit.
  2. Check that the SDI cable is connected correctly.

  3. If SDI, make sure that the destination device is accessing the SDI port that you plugged into.

● Abnormal display of image

  1. Check setting of resolution using the OSD of camera. Be sure to use a resolution and refresh rate that is supported by your software or hardware.

● Image is shaky or vibrating.

  1. Check whether camera is mounted solidly or sitting on a steady horizontal and level surface.
  2. Check the building and any supporting furniture for vibration. Ceiling mounts are often affected by building vibration more than wall mounts.
  3. Any external vibration that is affecting the camera will be more apparent when in tele zoom (zoomed in) settings.

Control

- Serial communication does not control the camera

  1. Make sure the camera is on and functioning with the IR remote control.
  2. Verify that the RS485 cable is connected correctly and using the proper pinout.
  3. Verify the communication settings of the control software or device (e.g. joystick).
  4. Verify that the communication port on the controlling device is activated (e.g. Com port on PC).
  5. Verify that all communication settings in the OSD Setup Menu correlate to the commands being used (e.g. VISCA address).
