Client PC: P4/128M RAM/40G HD/ 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 crossover 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 patch cable is bad, you are using the wrong cable (patch aka "straight-thru" cable for connection through a LAN; crossover for a direct PC connection) 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 with the PTZOptics camera

(Also see information on camera web information in the following section)

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, to an active network port on your network and finally to power the camera on.
2. Next, go online and download the IP address setting tool, for Windows Operating Systems, from the PTZOptics Download Page. Once you complete the installation and launch the tool "UPGRADE v2.7" you should be able to click the "Search" button to locate all of the available PTZOptics cameras on your network.

UPGRADE v1.9 Search Upgrade Config Backup Devices: 3 Search No IP Address Mask Gateway MAC_Addre 1 192.168.100.88 255.255.255_ 192.168.100... D4:E0:8E: 2 192.168.111.84 255.255.255_ 192.168.111... D4:E0:8E: 3 192.168.111.87 255.255.255_ 192.168.111... D4:E0:8E: Language English -

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 192.168.100.88. 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 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” 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.

UPGRADE v15 Search Upgrade Config Backup Mode Manual IP Address 192.168.100.88 Mask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.100.1 First DNS 192.168.100.1 MAC Addre D4 : E0 : BE : 00 : 03 : 62 Set Reset Language English

You should now be able to set your cameras 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 (example: 192.168.111.1)

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

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 Mozilla Firefox ESR. You can view our knowledge base article for setup.
2. 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, both are "admin" by default.
3. 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 for further clarification.

View All iLC media player: < Back Next > Cancel

1. You should now be able to see the IP interface in the browser with your live camera feed. You should have full PTZ control over your camera using the PTZ controls on the left side. You can adjust many of your cameras settings via the IP interface.

The main thing to note about the IP interface is that all adjustments will occur on the IP stream only. It will not affect the HDMI, SDI or USB connections of the camera. In addition, presets set in the IP interface will not be the same as the IR remote presets and vice-versa.

Interior view of a conference room with a long table and chairs, no visible text or symbols on the main surfaces.

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. You'll see how to use ONVIF to easily set up 2 PTZOptics cameras with Wirecast, the ONVIF feature must be enabled in the "Network" settings for ONVIF discovery, in addition to setting up a standard RTSP stream.

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

1. 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 is 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 .

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 getifaddr 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.

You must select both Encode Protocol and Encode Level for H.264. Camera streaming supports either H.264 - with choice of "baseline", "mainprofile" and "highprofile" formats or H.265 video encoding (Note H.265 will override and lockout some other video settings).

8) First Stream

Resolution

Set the desired video stream resolution. The first stream allows 1920x1080 (1080p), 1280x720 (720p) or 1024x576. The second stream allows 720x576 or 320x240. Higher resolutions will consume more bandwidth.

Bit Rate

Users can assign the bit rate of the stream (from 32 – 8192 kbps for 1^st stream and 32-6144 kbps for 2^nd stream). Higher bit rates will provide for a higher quality image, if your network bandwidth is sufficient to support the rate.

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.

I key frame interval:

Affects the quality of the video compression. This setting defines how many predicted frames will be used for each actual frame (from 2-150). Shorter intervals increase video quality at the cost of requiring higher bit rates in order to look good.

Bit Rate Control method:

Constant bit rate: video encoder will encode at a constant rate as set in bitrate setting

Variable bit rate: video encoder will encode at a variable rate with maximum as set in bit rate setting, allowing for low motion scenes to use less bandwidth.

Fluctuate level

This setting affects how aggressive variable bit rate adjustments will be (1-6). Spikes that are too large may affect video quality. Low levels will not save on as much bandwidth.

9) Second Stream (See parameters above for first stream).

Network Camera Control Protocol

Setup camera for IP (First see "Setting up the Camera's IP" section above)

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 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 positon, or if preset 0 is set, the camera will return to the preset 0 position).

3. Check that the video cable is connected correctly.

4. If HDMI, make sure that the destination device is accessing the HDMI port that you plugged into.

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?
2. If not, change the batteries in the remote.
3. 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. Press “Camera Select” 1 on the remote to control the camera.
4. 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 RS232 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).
