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

2. 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 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

 Change network settings

6.1.2 Using the Browser to View the Images

 Open the browser, and enter the URL of camera in the IP address bar

e.g.: http://192.168.100.100 (default IP address)

 Enter administrator’s account and password

*For the first login, please refer to 6.2.3 Account Management to chang the default

password

6.1.3 Using Lumens VMS Software to View the Images

<Remark> For VC-A71PN, to support this function, please turn off NDI|HX (Please

refer to 6.2.5 Setting-Video)

 Open LUMENS VMS software (Please download from the Lumens official website)  Search for the camera: Press [automatically search for the device] button to

locate the VC-A71P camera

6.1.4 Using RTSP Player to View the Images

<Remark> For VC-A71PN, to support this function, please turn off NDI|HX (Please

refer to 6.2.5 Setting-Video)

In addition to the browser and VMS, other free softwares also can be used for RTSP connection,such as VLC, Quick Time and PotPlayer RTSP connection address formats are as follows:

 RTSP Streaming 1 (4K@H.265) => rtsp://camera IP:8554/hevc  RTSP Streaming 2 (1080P@H.264) => rtsp://camera IP:8557/h264  RTSP Streaming 3 (720P@H.264) => rtsp://camera IP:8556/h264

For password authentication, the RTSP connection address is as follows:  RTSP Streaming 1

rtsp://Username:Password@VC IP address:port/hevc

 RTSP Streaming 2/ 3

rtsp://Username:Password@VC IP address:port/h264

 To enable password authentication, please refer to 6.2.9 Setting - Network

Example: Open VLC software, click [Open Network Stream], and enter a URL: rtsp://192.168.4.48:8554/hevc

6.1.5 Using NDI Studio Monitor to View the Images

<Remark> Only VC-A71PN is available. Support when NDI|HX is on (Please refer to

6.2.5 Setting - Video)

https://www.newtek.com/.

To download NDI 4 Tool, click the link: http://new.tk/NDIHX-Driver-Win

6.1.6 Using USB to View the Images

<Remark> When using 4K resolution for USB output, the video is encoded in H.264 format, while resolutions of 1080P and below are encoded in either H.264 or MJPEG format (the media player will choose automatically). However, some media players or

conference meeting apps may not display images when using 4K resolution due to conflicts between the A71P H.264 format and the software itself. In that case, please lower the resolution to 1080P.

To utilize the USB camera source, launch a media player like PotPlayer or a conference meeting app such as Zoom, then select the camera source.

Problems

Solutions

Boot without power

signal

1. Make sure you have plugged in the power cord.

2. When using a PoE connection, ensure that the power supply supports PoE+ / PoE++ hubs

 VC-A71P : PoE++ (IEEE802.3bt)  VC-A71PN : PoE+ (IEEE802.3at)

There is no image

output from VC-A71P

1. Check the power supply or PoE supply functions.

2. Confirm the output signals are in streaming output.

3. Confirm whether the camera resolution can be used together with the monitor equipment

 If 4k output, confirm the monitor equipment supports 4K

output

4. Replace the cables and make sure they are not faulty.

RS-232 cannot be

controlled

1. Confirm the connection is correct (RS-232 In/ Out)

2. Please make sure the Baud rate setting is the same as the

control equipment
