Frequently Asked Questions - VC-A61P Lumens

How do I connect the VC-A61P to my computer for video conferencing?
Connect the camera via the USB port on the back to a computer using a USB 2.0 cable. The camera will appear as a UVC (USB Video Class) device. For best results, ensure the driver is installed (if any) and select the camera in your conferencing software.
Can I use the VC-A61P without a remote control?
Yes, you can control the camera via RS-232/422 serial commands, Ethernet (VISCA over IP or web interface), or the included IR remote. The remote is the easiest for basic pan, tilt, zoom functions.
What is the maximum zoom level?
The VC-A61P features a 20x optical zoom and an additional 12x digital zoom, for a combined zoom of up to 240x. However, digital zoom reduces image quality.
Does the camera support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the VC-A61P supports PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) via the Ethernet port. This allows both data and power over a single cable. Ensure your network switch provides PoE+.
How do I update the firmware?
Connect the camera to your network via Ethernet, access its web interface using a browser, and navigate to the firmware update section. Download the latest firmware from the Lumens website and upload it through the interface.
What is the minimum illumination required?
The camera operates in low light with a minimum illumination of 0.05 lux (color) at 50 IRE. For optimal image quality, ensure a well-lit environment.
Can I mount the camera on a ceiling?
Yes, the VC-A61P includes a ceiling mount bracket. Follow the instructions in the manual to mount safely. Ensure the ceiling can support the weight and use the appropriate screws.
What video resolutions are supported?
The camera supports up to 1080p at 60 fps via HDMI and SDI. USB output supports up to 1080p at 30 fps (MJPEG) or 1080p at 15 fps (YUY2). You can select lower resolutions in the settings.
How do I reset the camera to factory settings?
You can reset via the web interface: go to System -> Factory Reset. Alternatively, press and hold the IR remote's 'HOME' button for about 5 seconds during power-on.
Is the camera compatible with Zoom, Teams, etc.?
Yes, because it uses standard UVC protocol over USB, it is plug-and-play with all major conferencing software like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Skype.

6.1 Connecting Camera to Network

6.1.1 Connecting to Internet

Two common connection methods are shown below

  1. Connecting via switch or router

    A["Camera"] -->|Network cable| B["Router"]
    B -->|Network cable| C["Switch or router"]
    C --> D["Computer"]
  1. To connect directly through network cable, the IP address of the computer should be changed so that it is on the same network segment as the camera e.g.: The factory-preset default IP address of the camera is 192.168.100.100. The computer IP address must be set with the same network segment, such as 192.168.100.101, so that the computer can be connected correctly with the camera
