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 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 my example above, you can see, from other cameras on my network, that my network is set up to be in the range of 192.168.111.XXX.

Please see the "Extras" information at the end of this section for further information on identifying your network IP scheme

1. Once you know your IP range you can right click on the camera you wish to change the IP address for and select "config" to enter the appropriate network information.

NOTE: if you need to find the IP range of your network, you can do so by following the guide in the "Extras" information at the end of this section.

(Note that in more complex network environments you may have to request a “Static IP” from the IT department to prevent any possible network complications in addition to the “Static IP” you will likely need an appropriate Network Mask, Default Gateway and First DNS)

1. Now that you have set the Static IP address of your PTZOptics camera, you should be able to pull up the video feed in a web browser.

We recommend using Mozilla Firefox ESR. You can view our knowledge base article for detailed setup instructions.

1. If you follow the steps in the knowledge base article above and type in the Static IP address you assigned to your camera, in step 4, you will be prompted for a Username and Password, by default both are "admin".

2. You may be prompted to download the VLC Player Plugin; be sure to allow for both the Mozilla plugin and the ActiveX plugin if on a PC. If you are on a MAC, you need to move the VLC plugin, once downloaded, into the internet plugins folder. See the images below, or refer to our knowledge base article, for further clarification.

1. You should now be able to see the IP interface in the browser of your live camera feed. 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 cameras settings via this IP interface.

The main thing to note about the IP interface is that all presets set in the IP interface will not be the same as the IR remote presets and vice-versa.

1. You should now be able to receive an RTSP stream from your camera. The following video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmqI0hjT0UI&feature=youtu.be, shows how to setup an RTSP stream in Wirecast as an example. You'll see how to use ONVIF to easily set up two (2) PTZOptics cameras with Wirecast, note that the ONVIF feature must be enabled in the "Network" settings for ONVIF discovery to work properly.

2. You can test the RTSP stream in VLC media player. Once you install VLC and launch the program you should be able to go to the “Media” drop down menu and then select “Open Network Stream”. In the network URL, you should enter “rtsp://:554/1”. In the example below, for a PTZOptics camera with the static IP address of 192.168.111.84, the RTSP stream would accessed by entering rtsp://192.168.111.84:554/1. The “554” part is the port number used by the cameras, and the “1” is the stream number. (There are two RTSP network streams available; one for HD content “1” and one for SD content “2”).

EXTRAS

Discovering your Network IP range.

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

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 Macs.

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.

If you type "ipconfig" and hit "Enter" on your keyboard you will see a bunch of information pop up in your command prompt.

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.

C:\Users\ANDY>ipconfig Windows IP Configuration Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection 3: Media State . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection 2: Media State . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : Fe88::9c74:bc95:7829:96c%15 IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . : 192.168.111.219 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . : 192.168.111.1 Ethernet adapter Bluetooth Network Connection:

If you need to find the IP range of your MAC 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.

Now, you would type in "IP config get if addr en0" Once you type this string and click "Enter" on your keyboard you will receive back an IP address.

So the IP range of my network, according to my MAC is 192.168.111.xxx, you can use this to figure out the IP range in which your camera needs to be set.

Photobooth Functionality

Your PTZOptics 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&X&photo&0

In this example the variable “X” is utilized to add additional delay, in seconds, between still images being taken. The variable “X” 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&X&video&Y

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

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

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.

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 whether the camera can "self-test" after startup (camera will do a brief pan-tilt tour and return to the home position, or if preset 0 is set, the camera will return to the preset 0 position).

3. Check the BOTTOM dip switch and make sure the two dip switches are both set OFF. These switches are not used in operating mode.

4. Check that the video cable is connected correctly.

5. 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 rotary dial on rear of camera. Be sure to use a resolution and refresh rate that is supported by your software.

● 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

● IR remote controller does not control the camera

1. Does one of the 4 "Camera Select" buttons (top row of remote) light up when you press any button on the remote?
   If not, change the batteries in the remote.
2. Are the camera and remote set to the same IR address? You can use press [*] + [#] + [1] (3 buttons in sequence) on the remote to set the camera to address 1. Press “Camera Select” 1 on the remote to control the camera.
3. Try removing other sources of IR interference (e.g. sunlight, fluorescent lighting).

- 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).
