• 4K UHD

The new high-quality 1/1.8-inch UHD CMOS sensor with 8.42 million effective pixels enables ultra-high-resolution images up to 4K (3840x2160), downward compatible with 1080P, 720P and other resolutions.

• AI Tracking and Framing

Built-in artificial intelligence processor, using deep learning algorithms. AI tracking can achieve smooth tracking of the human body no matter where the face is, which is perfect for object tracking scenarios in lectures, presentations and other activities. AI framing with automatic zoom and pan/tilt rotation functions, places participants at the best size and position in the video.

- HDMI 1.4b

Supports HDMI 1.4b and can output 4K raw video directly without compression.

- 20x Optical Zoom

Exclusively customized high-quality with 8 million pixel sensor and ultra-wide-angle-lens. The horizontal field angle of view is up to 60.7°.

- Low Illumination

The new CMOS image sensor with ultra-high SNR effectively reduces image noise under low illumination. The application of 2D and 3D noise reduction algorithms greatly reduces image noise even under the condition of ultra-low illumination. It keeps the picture clean and clear with an image SNR as high as 55 dB.

• PoE

The Ethernet port supports PoE. Power, control, video, and audio can all be carried on a single network cable.

- Remote Control

The camera can be controlled remotely through the RS232, RS485, network or USB port.

This option is disabled by default. Only users with administrator credentials (as described in the previous point) can enable or disable it when a USB key is connected.

5.2 Control Camera

All pages include two menu bars:

Real Time Monitoring: Video image displaying with function buttons.

Parameter Setup: Parameter configurating.

A. Video Viewing Window

The video viewing window is same as video resolution, the bigger the resolution, the bigger the playing area. Double click the viewing window to show full screen, double click again, to return to initialized size.

Status bar in viewing window shown as below:

1) Video Pause: Click to pause the real-time video, click again to resume.
2) Audio Control: Click to adjust the volume or mute.
3) Full screen switch button.

B. PTZ Setup

1) Pan and Tilt Control

The direction arrows and home button allow you to manually drive the camera to desired position.

2) Zoom

Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons allow for wide or narrow view of the space.

3) Focus

Focus In and Focus Out button allow for fine manual focus adjustment if the camera has any auto focusing problems on difficult object. rate can be set to 0 \~ 7.

4) PTZ Speeds

Pan speed rate can be set to 1 \~ 24, Tilt speed rate can be set to 1 \~ 20. Zoom and Focus speed rate can be set to 0 \~ 7.

5) PTZ Presets

When the PTZ turns to the position that you would like to return to later, you can set presets for quick recall.

Type a number (0 \~ 254) into the preset box and click "Set" button to save.

When the PTZ turn to other position, input the preset number and click "Call" button to turn the PTZ back to the preset position.

6) PTZ/OSD

5.3 Video Setting

1) Video Format

Support 50Hz (PAL) and 60Hz (NTSC) formats.

2) Encode Level

Support baseline, main-profile and high-profile.

3) Encode Codec

Support H264, H265 and MJPEG.

4) Resolution

First stream support 3840x2160, 1920x1080, 1280x720, 1024x576, 960x540, 640x480, 640x360; Second stream support 640x360, 480x272,

320x240, 320x180. The bigger the resolution, the clearer the image, and the larger the code stream, the more network bandwidth will be taken.

5) Bit Rate

You can specify the bit rate, the larger of the bit rate, the clearer of the image. The configuration of the bit rate needs to be combined with the network bandwidth. When the network bandwidth is narrow and the bit rate is configured larger, the video stream cannot be transmitted normally, and the visual effect will be worse.

6) Frame Rate

You can specify the size of the frame rate, the greater the frame rate, the smoother the image, the smaller the frame, the more sense of beating.

7) Key Frame Interval

Set the interval between two frames, the bigger the interval, the slower the response when opening the image for the first time.

8) Bit Rate Control

Two modes for bit rate control:

CBR (Constant Bit Rate): Video coder will be coding according to the preset speed.

VBR (Variable Bit Rate): Video coder will adjust the speed based on preset speed to gain the best image quality.

9) Slice Split Enable

Select to turn On/Off the Slice Split Enable function.

10) Split Mode

Split Mode Fixed bytes.

11) Slice Size

Size for slice.

6. Recording Audio:

This section explains how to record audio along with your video recordings.

Important Note:

• This camera does not have a built-in microphone.
• To capture audio, you will need to connect an external microphone or audio source like a DSP.

Using an External Microphone:

1. Microphone Compatibility:

• The camera supports electret condenser microphones.

2. Microphone Connection:

• The camera has a 1 channel 3.5mm Tip-Ring-Sleve (TRS) line jack microphone input port.
- Ensure your microphone uses a compatible plug type (TRS or Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleve (TRRS) plugs).

Using a Line-Level Audio Source:

1. Audio Source Compatibility:

- The camera also features a line-in port for connecting external audio sources with stronger signals, such as mixers, audio players, and DSPs.

2. Line-Level Connection:

- Use a standard line-in port 3.5mm TRS jack cable to connect your audio source.

To use your PC/laptop's audio through the Unite 260 Pro's USB connection, follow these steps:

1. Using the remote control, navigate to MENU > SETUP.
2. Select USB Audio and set it to "On".
3. Your PC/laptop should now recognize the Unite 260 Pro as an microphone device.

7. Serial Command Control

In default working mode, the camera can be controlled via RS-232 or RS-485 (half-duplex mode).

The parameters are as follows:

• Baud rate: 2400/4800/9600 bits
- Start bit: 1 bit
- Data bit: 8 bits
- Stop bit: 1bit
- Parity bit: none

The process of initialization is complete when the camera pan-tilt rotates to the maximum position of top right and then returns to the center.

Note: If the position preset 0 has been stored, the position preset 0 is called up after initialization, and users can control the camera with commands in the following command list.

8. Troubleshooting

Image

• The monitor shows no image

1) Ensure that the power supply of camera is connected, the voltage is normal, and the power indicator is always on.
2) Turn off the power switch to check that the camera is self-testing.
3) Ensure that the cable of video platform and TV is in correct connection.

- Image jitters after the camera is properly connected

2) Disconnect the network, connect camera with PC separately and reset the IP address of PC if necessary.
3) Ensure that the IP address, subnet mask and gateway settings is correct.
4) Check that the MAC address is conflicts.
5) Check that the web port is modified, the default setting is 80.

• Forget the IP address or login password
  The default IP address is: 192.168.19.8; the default username and password are: admin.

2) Ensure that the camera's working mode is correct.
3) Ensure that the address key of remote control can match the camera.

- Serial port cannot control

1) Ensure that the protocol, address and bit rate of the camera are consistent.
2) Ensure that the control cable is properly connected.
