Frequently Asked Questions - RoboSHOT 12 USB Vaddio

How do I set up the RoboSHOT 12 USB camera?

Mount the camera using the included Thin Profile Wall Mount. Connect the desired video outputs (HDMI, USB 3.0, or Ethernet for IP streaming). Power the camera using the provided 12V DC power supply or PoE+ network switch. The camera will boot up and initialize its motors. Use the IR remote, RS-232, Telnet, or the built-in web server to control the camera.

How can I control the camera via a web browser?

Connect the camera to your network via the PoE+ RJ-45 port. Find the camera's IP address (default DHCP or 169.254.1.1 if no DHCP). Open a web browser and enter the IP address. Log in with default username admin and password password. The web interface allows full camera control, preset management, and streaming configuration.

What is Tri-Synchronous Motion and how do I use it?

Tri-Synchronous Motion is a feature that moves pan, tilt, and zoom simultaneously so all axes arrive at a preset at the same time. To use it, store a preset by clicking Store Preset in the web interface, check Save with Tri-Sync, and set the speed slider. When recalling that preset, the camera will move smoothly with coordinated PTZ movement.

How do I perform a factory reset?

You can reset to factory defaults via the web interface: go to System menu and click Restore Factory Settings. Alternatively, set all DIP switches on the bottom of the camera to the DOWN position, power cycle the camera, then return switches to desired positions.

What video resolutions are supported over USB 3.0?

The camera supports uncompressed UVC video up to 1080p at 30 fps. Other resolutions include 720p, qHD (960x540), 640x360 (360p), and lower. The host PC and application negotiate the resolution. For USB 2.0, resolutions are limited, e.g., 640x480 at 30 fps.

How can I update the camera firmware?

Download the latest firmware from the Vaddio website. In the web interface, go to System menu, choose the firmware file, and click Begin Firmware Update. Follow the on-screen prompts and do not power off the camera during the update. The process may take several minutes.

What is the difference between the IR remote and RS-232 control?

The IR Remote Commander provides basic control: power, pan/tilt, zoom, focus, and six presets. RS-232 (modified VISCA protocol) offers full command set including all 16 presets, detailed camera settings, and can be integrated with control systems like Crestron or AMX. The IR remote uses selectable frequencies to control up to 3 cameras.

How do I enable IP streaming?

In the web interface, go to Streaming menu. Check Enable IP Streaming. Choose resolution (e.g., 1080p) and quality mode (Easy or Custom). The default RTSP port is 554. Set a path name (e.g., 'vaddio-roboshot-stream') and note the streaming URL. Use a media player like VLC with that URL to view the stream.

What should I do if the camera is not responding to the IR remote?

First, ensure the IR remote has fresh batteries and that the IR sensors on the camera are not obstructed. Check that the camera's IR reception is enabled (DIP switch 3 should be UP for ON). Also verify the remote's camera selector matches the camera's IR frequency set via DIP switches 1 and 2. If problems persist, try using RS-232 or web control.

Can I mount the camera upside down on a ceiling?

Yes, the camera supports inverted mounting. Enable Image Flip by setting DIP switch 4 to the ON (down) position. This electronically flips the image. The camera will pan 90° from center and tilt 30° downward when in standby to protect the lens.

The lens, image sensor and ISP combination are the real magic behind this camera's remarkable video performance characteristics. The lens is a multi-element, glass lens featuring a 12X optical zoom with a 73° wide horizontal field of view. The latest generation Exmor® 1/2.8", 2.38 Megapixel, Full HD (native 1080p/60) high-speed, low noise CMOS image sensor combined with the new ISP produces vivid and realistic color with very fast, razor sharp autofocus routine.

The Tri-Synchronous Motion algorithm in the RoboSHOT cameras is capable of moving all three (pan, tilt and zoom) axes simultaneously. The algorithm calculates the position and velocity of the smooth, direct-drive motor movements between the presets so pan, tilt and zoom arrive at the preset subject simultaneously, which finally allows for smooth and manageable on-air camera movements. Yep, there's no more pan/tilt, then zoom like other PTZ cameras available today.

The RoboSHOT 12 USB has an PoE+ GB Ethernet port and a built-in web server, which allows the user to power the camera and control the camera's functions with an internal web page with any browser from anywhere in the world, over the IP network, while watching the RSTP IP video stream. This feature is perfect for remote management, network operating centers and overall IT control. Telnet, IR Remote and RS-232 control for the camera are available to satisfy almost any, if not all, system control requirements.

The RoboSHOT 12 USB camera was designed for the times and represents a new era in specifying and integrating professional quality cameras into UC Conferencing and Pro AV system configurations. The features, flexibility and the value of the RoboSHOT 12 USB conferencing camera is unparalleled in today's PTZ camera market. All this and it's made in the USA, at the Vaddio HQ in Minnetonka, Minnesota.

Setting the RoboSHOT Switch Gear:

1) Set the desired and available HD output resolution for the camera with the Rotary Switch.
2) Set the IR control frequency of the camera if it is to respond to the IR remote control.
3) The IR reception from the IR Remote Commander can be turned off. The default is ON.
4) If inverting the camera, turn the IMAGE FLIP ON (SW4).
5) For the RoboSHOT 12X model only, set the Super-wide mode to ON for a 12X, 73° horizontal super-wide angle of view. Normal mode will produce 67.2° horizontal field of view (HFOV).
6) Set the Baud Rate DIP switch (SW6) to 9600bps for most applications. The default is 9600 bps.
7) Setting all DIP switches DOWN with a power cycle loads the default camera settings. Return DIPs to desired operating position after power cycle.

Note: Switches 7 & 8 are reserved for future use.

Dip Switch Settings Further Explained:

• IR 1, 2 and 3 (SW 1 &2): A single IR remote has the capability of operating up to three different PTZ cameras in a room. Use these selector DIP switches and the selector buttons at the top of the IR remote to select the frequency.
• IR ON/OFF (SW3): Turn off the IR reception when only using RS-232 control, Telnet control or controlling the camera from the web server. The IR is defaulted to ON. Hint: Turning off the IR may be confusing to the users that grab the remote and expect the camera to respond, instead it will seem busted, which is never good.
  • Image Flip (SW4): To invert the camera, turn the IMAGE FLIP ON (switch down).
• Super-Wide Mode: Super-wide works only with the RoboSHOT 12 model and allows the camera to switch from 67.3^irc wide end HFOV to a Super Wide 73^irc wide end HFOV.
• Baud Rate (SW6): The options for baud rate are either 9600 or 38,400 bps. The 9600 bps works best with Cat-5e over distance. Use 38,400 bps for short control lines only.
  • DIP Switches (SW7 & 8): Not used for operation, please leave these DIP switches up or in the OFF position.

Setting the RoboSHOT 12 USB Resolution with the Rotary Switch

• For HDMI, set the desired HD resolution with the HDMI VIDEO SELECT rotary switch on the back of the camera.
- For USB 3.0 streaming, the Host PC's OS and conferencing/recording application will negotiate the streaming resolution. Some applications will the highest possible resolution that the camera and PC can use while others pick lower resolutions and use the video content as an auxiliary input where the data has priority. Just remember that the USB resolutions are always negotiated
- For the IP Stream (RTSP format with H.264 compression), the resolution is set over the Ethernet network via the RoboSHOT's web server on the Streaming menu page.

INSTALLATION BASICS:

The RoboSHOT cameras include a Thin Profile Wall Mount for...wall mounting the camera. There are options for IN-Wall™ mounts and IN-Ceiling™ Half-Recessed mount as well.

Step 1: Determine Camera Mount Location

When locating the camera, consider viewing angles, lighting conditions, possible line of site obstructions and check for in-wall or in-ceiling obstructions where the camera is to be mounted. Always pick a mounting location to optimize the performance of the camera. Please locate the camera to enable easy positioning of the camera body with the ability to point down and away from the ceiling and a pile of fluorescent lighting cells. Cameras generally don't like to be swamped with fluorescent light and nobody sits or stands on the ceiling anyway.

Close-up of a video camera with black and white casing (no visible text or symbols)

Step 2: After determining the optimum location of the camera system, pull and route the required cables from the camera location back to the PC, network, monitor, switcher or other video destination. The connections can be routed through the back of the mount, into the wall, or through the bottom of the mount and drop down behind a monitor to hide the cables. The following connections are available:

a) HDMI Video, which is great for testing if the video is present and troubleshooting USB or IP streaming issues. Like the example on the previous page, it can be used as a near end (self-view) monitor or for a variety of other applications.
b) USB 3.0 Streaming Video (UC Conferencing)
c) IP Streaming Video (RTSP format with H.264 compression)
d) DC Power on a 12 VDC, 3 Amp EIAJ-04 Connector
Connect any or all of the video outputs for whatever application is used.

Step 3: The Thin Profile Wall Mount Bracket's mounting holes are slotted and are 90^irc opposing to provide easy leveling. If mounting to Drywall, hold the mount to the wall and using a level, level it. Mark the center of the slotted holes. Install the provided wall anchors and attach the mount to the anchors. If the mount is to be mounted on a 2-gang wall box, use the screws supplied with the wall box cover plate to attach Thin Profile Wall Mount Bracket.

Step 4: Place the camera on the mount and connect the desired cables for the application. Check the level again to avoid any of those weird Batman camera angles. Use the provided 14 "-20 x .375 mounting screw to attach the Camera to the mount. The cables are fed through the cable management slots (back or bottom) provided by all Vaddio mounting options.

Step 5: After connecting the desired video cables, plug in the camera's 12 VDC, 3.0 Amp power supply AC power cord to an electrical outlet. The camera will boot up and the motors will start up and initialize. The process may look a little spazzy, but it is normal for these direct drive BLDC motors. In a few seconds, the camera will settle down and appear normal. When an image is available, the camera is ready to accept control information from the IR remote control or RS-232, Telnet or internal web server.

The RoboSHOT12 USB camera platform uses a Linux OS and has a built-in web server. The internal web pages will allow control of the attached camera via an Ethernet network connection. These web pages will allow the user or administrator to control the camera, set PTZ presets, set security passwords, change the IP address, view diagnostics, access the firmware upgrade page and more!

DHCP IP Set-up (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

DHCP Set-up (skip this section if Static IP). If the LAN has a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server, then the IP address, gateway and routing information will automatically be assigned. The software is defaulted to DHCP and will attempt to dynamically obtain an IP address using DHCP, but it will fall back to the default address of (169.254.1.1) if no DHCP server can be found.

Static IP Set-up:

The static IP can be assigned either through the network or directly to a computer using a cross-over cable. Depending on the age of the computer, you may not need a cross-over cable. Either way the steps are the same for network or direct connection to a computer. The default address of the camera is 169.254.1.1 and the Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Different computer OS types all have their own way of doing things (without question), but they are essentially doing the same stuff, changing the IP address so the web pages of the RoboSHOT are accessible.

Screen Shot: Login

The RoboSHOT webserver is intended as a user's camera control page at one level, and an administrator's management tool at another level, which requires password authentication for access. The Login Page will appear if there is a user name assigned by the administrator. Assigning a user name can limit access to the admin menus by a general user.

• By default, the User name is: user, and the password for the User account is: password. The Administrator can set the name and password for the User account.
• By default, the Admin user name is: admin, and the password for the admin account is: password

• If a user or an admin logs in through this screen, then the next page shown will be the camera control page.
• The user will only have access to the camera control page.
• The Admin will have complete access to all web pages.

Screen Shot: Camera Control Page

This web page provides access to the camera controls for the User and the Admin.

1) Pan, Tilt and Home Controls: These intuitive controls use the up/down and diagonal arrows for camera pan and tilt. The center button will move the camera to the home position.
2) Zoom Control: The camera's zoom lens can be controlled with the "+" to zoom-in and the "-" to zoom out.
3) Focus Control: Click on the Focus button to move to manual focus. A pop-up window will present with the controls. Unclick Auto Focus and use the "+" and "-" to move the focus to the near or far end. Click the corner x to shut the window. Default is always auto, unless it's changed.
4) Standby: The Standby control puts the camera in low power mode and effectively puts the RoboSHOT to sleep. The camera will pan 90° from center and 30° downward (to not collect dust on the lens). When the camera is inverted (ceiling mounted) the camera will pan 90° from center and 30° downward. If the system is on, then the button will be blue and controls will be visible. If the button is red, no controls are accessible and the screen states: Device is in standby. Click to power-up, then you'll know what to do.
5) Pan/Tilt and Zoom Speed Controls: The speed for both the Pan/Tilt and Zoom controls can be adjusted with the three (3) sliders in this section. For tighter shots, it is recommended that the slower speed is used. These controls are for real-time camera movements only.
6) Camera Presets: Twelve (12) camera position presets can be recalled simply by clicking a preset number.
7) Store Preset Button: Clicking the Store button opens up a Store Preset pop-up dialog box. To set presets, set up the camera shot, click on choice of preset number (1 through 12). The preset is stored and the dialog box closes. The Store Preset dialog bow will prompt the operator to enter the Tri-Sync speed to the stored camera preset and if the current color settings are to be stored with the preset too (see the next page).
8) CCU Scenes: The user has access to the CCU scenes set and stored on the Admin pages. There are three (3) user definable presets and six (6) presets preconfigured by the technical folks at Vaddio (really Scott set them all) that are meant to be used in certain lighting scenarios. These lighting presets included: Automatic, Incandescent Hi, Incandescent Lo, Fluorescent Hi, Fluorescent Lo and Outdoor.
9) Administration Menu: By clicking on the Administration menu bar, the Admin Login screen will appear.

Screen Shot: Storing Presets

1) Store Preset: When the Store Preset button is clicked (point 7 on previous page), the Store Preset dialog pops into existence. To save the current camera shot, click one of the Preset buttons (1 through 12), the button will be highlighted and the dialog box will present the Tri-Sync controls and if the CCU setting are to be kept with the preset.

2) Save with Tri-Sync and Setting the Tri-Sync Speed: The Tri-Synchronous Motion algorithm in the RoboSHOT cameras is capable of moving all three (pan, tilt and zoom) axes simultaneously. The algorithm calculates the PTZ position so pan, tilt and zoom arrive at the preset subject simultaneously. Tri-Sync speed is speed at which all other presets will use to get to the preset being stored. All axes will launch at the same time and if the next preset position is not too close or too far, axes should simultaneously arrive at the preset location. Storing the preset with Tri-Sync is fairly straight forward. Here's a quick method to set Tri-Sync:

a) Position the first preset, click on Store Preset and click on Preset 1. Check the Save with Tri-Sync box. Move the tri-Sync speed slider to about the approximate position above (about 1/3 up the speed scale). This is the speed that all the other presets will use to get to this Preset 1. The speed is stored with the destination preset. Click on Save to store the camera location and Tri-Sync speed.

b) Set another camera position, and try a different pan, tilt and zoom position and click on Store Preset. Click on Preset 2 through 12, click on the Save with Tri-Sync box and set the slider to about 12 way this time and click on Save. These two presets are stored with different preset destination speeds.

c) Click between these two recently stored presets and note the different speeds applied to the 2 presets.

Tri-Sync Notes: If a preset is very close to the previous preset, like within 10⁹ with no change in zoom, it certainly doesn't need to be Tri-Sync'd. If a preset is super-fast and off-air, Tri-Sync won't be of much use either. Tri-Sync is a cool tool to set for on-air shots, but the process of setting the speeds will need some practice.

3) Store with Current Color Settings: To save the currently assigned CCU scenes settings, check this box.
4) Click Save or Cancel to exit this pop-up dialog box.

Screen Shot: Admin login from the Camera Control Page

On the security page, which will be reviewed at a bit later in the tour, allows the Admin to set the system to allow automatic guest access to the main camera control page. If guest access is turned on by the Admin, then system will open to the camera control page and an additional Admin Login is provided.

The default Admin password is: password.

Screen Shot: Admin Menu - Camera Settings

Once the Admin logs in, then all the admin menu buttons appear on the left side of the screen. The first menu after camera controls is Camera Settings.

1) Load Preset at Startup: Check this box to move the camera to a predefined preset location when the camera powers up. Use the pull down menu to select the Preset 1 through 12 to be loaded when this box is checked.
2) Load CCU Scene at Startup: Check this box to load a CCU Scene into the camera when the camera powers up. The pull down menu will allow the selection of one of the 6-factory scenes, or one of the 3 custom scenes.
3) CCU Scenes: Click on any of these 9 buttons to load one of the CCU scenes into the camera. These Scenes can be fine-tuned if changes are needed, and stored into any of the three Custom CCU Scenes.
4) Color Settings: When painting or shading camera scenes for specific lighting situations or environments, these parameters can be adjusted for matching cameras in the same area. The parameters within the Color Settings section are defined below (top to bottom):
- Auto Iris Check Box: When checked, the camera will operate in Auto Iris mode, when unchecked, the camera will be in Manual Iris mode and allow adjustment of Iris and Iris Gain levels.
- Iris: Move adjustment slider as required to adjust the iris opening. A numeric value will be displayed in the box to the right of the slider.

• Red Gain: Move the adjustment slider as required for amount of Red Gain desired. A numeric value will be displayed in the box to the right of the slider.

• Blue Gain: Move the adjustment slider as required for amount of Blue Gain desired. Numeric value will be displayed in the box to the right of the slider.

• Back Light Compensation: When checked, Back Light Compensation will be applied to the camera if camera is in Auto White Balance mode.

• Detail: Move the adjustment slider as required for amount of detail (Aperture) desired. A numeric value will be displayed in the box to the right of the slider. Note: If the detail is too high, the video can look grainy and appear noisy too.
• Chroma: Move the adjustment slider as required for the amount of Chroma (Color Vibrancy) desired. A numeric value will be displayed in the box to the right of the slider.

5) Store CCU Scene button: Once the desired scene adjustments have been made, this button will activate a pop-up menu that can be used to store this scene into one of the three User Defined Scene locations. These User Defined Scenes can be named as required for clarity. These User Defined CCU Scenes can be adjusted and re-saved at any time.

6) Custom CCU Scene Labels: The labels for the (3) User Defined customizable Scenes can be changed as needed. Mouse the cursor into the appropriate window and edit the text. Press Save to store these changes or press Cancel to exit this window.
7) Global Preset Non-Tri-Sync Speeds: When Tri-Sync Presets are not being used, then this section governs the pan, tilt and zoom speeds between the camera presets. These will be defaulted to a nominal level, but can be tailored to most any application.

Screen Shot: Admin Menu - Room Labels

The Room Labels menu allows the Admin to label the company name, room name, room phone and help phone on a per RoboSHOT basis. The labels appear on every page at the top/middle of the page. Simply enter the room information and click Save.

Screen Shot: Admin Menu - USB 3.0 and IP Streaming Video Page

1) USB Streaming Mode: Streaming can be set for either USB 3.0 streaming (uncompressed) and IP streaming (RTSP format with H.264 compression. The RoboSHOT can simultaneously stream USB and IP video, Telnet or IP control of the webserver control. Enable the USB 3.0 UVC streaming here

b. Custom Mode: In Custom Mode, the user can select the resolution, the target frame rate and the Quality (Quantization) of the stream on a slider. Setting the Custom Mode inappropriately may yield less than desirable results.

5) Streaming Protocol and URL: The IP Streaming format is RTSP with a default port of 554, which can be changed. The admin sets the name of the path to the streaming server (friendly name) and the Streaming URL auto populates. Use this URL and enter it on the Streaming Line in the media player to view the IP stream.
6) New Feature - USB Monitor: When the system is streaming USB video, a monitor on the top bar will indicate the USB Streaming resolution and Frame rate that has been selected by the application and the host PC.
- When finished setting up the streaming parameters click Save to put the changes into effect or cancel, which will not save the configuration.

Screen Shot: Admin Menu - DHCP Network Configuration

Under the Networking menu, The Network Configuration and Network Interfaces are displayed. This is where the Network administrator assigns either DHCP or a Static address and the associated parameters.

Notes: If the LAN has a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server, then the IP address, gateway and routing information will automatically be assigned. The software is defaulted to DHCP and will attempt to dynamically obtain an IP address using DHCP, but it will fall back to the default address of (169.254.1.1) if no DHCP server can be found.

Screen SHOT: Admin Menu - Static IP Configuration

If Static IP is used, the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway are manually entered. Click on Save to keep the Static IP information.

Screen SHOT: Admin Menu - Security

The Security menu allows the Admin to set the Admin and User account names and passwords. There is only one "user" password and only one "admin" password at any given time.

ROBOSHOT TELNET SERIAL COMMAND API

The Vaddio Serial Command protocol is a high level text based command line interface supported via telnet session on the RoboSHOT. The command application protocol interface is intended to allow external device such as AMX or Crestron to control the camera. The protocol is based upon ASCII format following the VT100 terminal emulation standard and uses an intuitive text command nomenclature for ease of use. The API is accessed by a telnet client on the Ethernet port. All ASCII characters will be echoed to terminal program and appended with VT100 string -ESC[J (HEX- 1B 5B 4A). Vaddio Command lines are terminated on carriage return. After the carriage return, the VT100 appends with -ESC[J. (Note: Most terminal programs automatically strip the VT100 string.) General format usage follows a get/set structure. Usage examples for each type are:

Set Example

COMMAND: > camera pan right

RESPONSE: > OK

Get Example

COMMAND: > camera home get

RESPONSE: > OK

Syntax Error Example

COMMAND: > camera right pan

RESPONSE: >ERROR

Additional programming controls associated with the terminal protocol includes:

• CTRL 5 - Clears the current serial buffer on the device.

Telnet sessions will require access verification and uses the same username and password associated with the Administrator account on the embedded web server. The default Telnet Port is 23. Command lines are terminated with a carriage return.
