Frequently Asked Questions - BC-80 DataVideo

How do I connect the BC-80 camera to a monitor?

You can connect via HDMI or SDI output on the rear panel. Use a standard HDMI cable for HDMI output, or a 75-ohm BNC cable for SDI output.

Can I control multiple BC-80 cameras with one remote?

Yes, up to 4 cameras can be controlled via IR remote. Set each camera's DIP switch (SW9/SW10) to assign a unique CAM ID (1-4). Then press the corresponding Camera Select button on the remote.

How do I update the firmware?

Copy the MB CPU and MB FPGA image files to a USB drive (FAT32, <16 GB). Insert into the USB Upgrade port. Navigate OSD Menu to System > Update Software > Update All. Wait 5-7 minutes, then power cycle the camera.

What video resolutions are supported?

The BC-80 supports 1080p/59.94, 1080p/50, 1080p/29.97, 1080p/25; 1080i/59.94, 1080i/50; 720p/59.94, 720p/50. Resolution can be set via DIP switch (SW5-SW7) or through the OSD menu.

How do I set the video mode using DIP switches?

Set DIP SW8 to ON to enable DIP switch mode. Then configure SW5-SW7 according to the table in the manual (e.g., OFF/OFF/OFF = 1080i59.94). If SW8 is OFF, use the OSD menu to set the mode.

What is the maximum distance for IR remote control?

The IR remote works within 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) in direct line-of-sight to the camera's IR receiver. Obstacles or bright light may reduce range.

How do I reset the camera to factory defaults?

In the OSD menu, navigate to System > Reset All and select YES. This restores all settings to factory defaults.

Can I use the camera with a PTZ controller?

Yes, the BC-80 supports VISCA protocol over RS-422. Connect the RMC-180 PTZ Controller (or compatible) via RJ-45 cable to the camera's RS-422 port. Set DIP SW4 to OFF for RS-422.

How do I clean the camera lens?

Use a soft, dry lens cleaning cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen with lens cleaning solution. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners directly on the camera. Always unplug the power before cleaning.

What does the tally light indicate?

The tally light shows camera status: Solid green means normal operation, solid red during booting (lasts ~3 seconds), and off when powered down. It can be configured to stay off or change color via the OSD menu.

	IRISThis is an adjustable aperture used to control the amount of light coming through the lens. The more the iris is opened, the more light it lets in and the brighter the scene will be.
	AGCThe setting that automatically adjusts the amplification of the signal from the camera sensor.
	DNRDigital Noise Reduction digitally removes any noise found in each image, resulting in a clearer image.
2. Video Output	Selection WayThis option configures how you can select the video mode.Enabling DIP SW 8 allows you to use the DIP switch to set the video mode instead of the remote control.

5. Camera Set (Advance)	Fog CorrectionWhen the surrounding area of the subject is foggy and of a low contrast, turning on fog correction will make the subject appear clearer.
	ApertureAperture adjusts the image sharpness.Increasing the aperture setting so that the foreground and background of your images appear sharp.
	Vivid EffectVivid effect adjusts the color saturation which is basically the intensity of color in an image.
	Pedestal EffectThe pedestal effect enables exposure compensation which will engage the iris or auto gain control depending on the shooting situation. For best results we recommend setting the pedestal effect to 4 or 5. The pedestal effect allows the camera to brighten up the image captured as you zoom in.

7. RMC-180 PTZ Camera Control Unit

The RMC-180 PTZ Camera Controller is designed to control up to 4 Datavideo Block/Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) cameras such as the BC-80.

The four RJ-45 ports provided on the RMC-180 rear serve to connect Block/PTZ cameras, thus allowing the user to use any RJ-45 cable to connect the RMC-180 to the RS-422 port located on the Block/PTZ camera's rear panel. The communication protocol is VISCA.

Note: Before connecting the camera to these channel ports, please set bit 4 of the camera DIP switch located at the bottom to OFF.

Direct Connection to Camera

To use the RMC-180 PTZ Camera Control Unit to directly control the BC-80 camera, connect the RS-422 port on the camera's rear panel to the RJ-45 port of the RMC-180 using any RJ-45 cable. The RS-422 wiring scheme is shown below.

Step2. On the PC, please open the DVIP Configuration Tool by double-clicking the "DVIP_Net_Conf.exe."

8.1.1 User Interface

Step1. After the DVIP Configuration Tool is opened, please select the corrected network interface card in your PC and then click the button "OK".

Note: Please make sure that the selected network interface card is within the same IP range as the connected BC-80 camera or it is impossible for the DVIP Configuration Tool to find the connected DVIP device.

Step2. After logging in the interface card, the user will be able to view the device name, MAC address and number of device.

8.1.2 Device Search

- On the tool bar, users can click the search icon to search for all DVIP devices.

8.1.3 Clearing Device List

- On the tool bar, users are allowed to clear the device list by clicking the "Device List Clear" button.

8.1.4 Detailed Device Network Information

● After selecting a device in the left column, you will then be able to view each device information on the right, including name, MAC, IP address and etc.

8.1.5 Modify Device Information and Write to Device

- The user is allowed to modify the device information in the right column such as device name, MAC, IP address and etc. Click the Save button to write the information into the device. Right after the Save button is clicked, you will be able to see a prompt message at the top right corner to request for a device reboot for the new settings to become effective.

1) Copy MB CPU and MB FPGA image files into the root directory of a USB hard drive (<16 GB) and insert it into the USB Upgrade port (You may use a USB extension cord).

2) Open the OSD menu using IR remote control by pressing the MENU button.

3) Browse to => 4: SYSTEM => 4: UPDATE SOFTWARE => 4: UPDATE ALL => YES => ENTER

4) Wait for another five minutes until the following lines appear on the screen - Updated FPGA =>OK - Updated MCPU =>OK The OSD will flash “Write OK/Power ON Again”.

Note: it takes approximately 5-7 minutes to complete the update.

5) Turn off the device by unplugging the power cord. Plug the power cord back into the socket and then turn on the device again.
