Web Interface
The camera's web interface allows control via a network connection, using a browser. Password-protected
pages provide administrative access to tasks such as setting passwords, changing the IP address,
viewing diagnostics, and installing firmware updates. The user login (or guest access, if it is
enabled)provides access to camera controls similar to those available from the IR remote.
You will need to know the camera's IP address to use its web interface. If the network has a DHCP server,
the camera will get its IP address, gateway and routing information automatically and you will be able to
browse to it. If not, you will need to configure the camera to use a static IP address.
The OneLINK device powering the camera has its own web interface. Refer to the appropriate OneLINK
manual for information on its web interface.
Getting the Camera's IP Address
You will need to be able to view the camera's video output.
1. Press the Data Screen button on the remote. The display presents the camera's IP address and MAC
address.
2. Press the Data Screen button again to dismiss the information.
If the address is 169.254.1.1, the camera is using its default IP address. This usually means one of these
things:
n The network automatically assigns IP addresses, but the camera is not connected to the network.
n The network does not automatically assign IP addresses, and you need to configure the camera for the
network. See Configuring the Camera with a Static IP Address.
Accessing the Web Interface
Enter the IP address or hostname in your browser's address bar. You may need to enter http:// or
https:// as a prefix to keep the browser from treating it as a search query.
(Example:http://10.30.200.125)

Changing to a Static IP Address in a DHCP Network
NETWORKING PAGE
In a network that assigns IP addresses automatically, the camera's IP address may change from time to
time. To keep this from happening, set the IP address to Static. Do not change the IP address, subnet
mask, or gateway.
Specifying Time Zone and NTP Server
NETWORKING PAGE
Using automatic NTP updating ensures that the timestamps in the camera's diagnostic log are accurate.
Specifying your time zone may make it easier to match logged events with other actions and external
events.
1. To make the time zone and NTP server editable, enable Automatic NTP Updating.
2. Select the desired time zone from the list.
3. If desired, specify the NTP server to use. Otherwise, use the default.
You may need to refresh the system time display.

Lighting and Color Adjustments: Setting up Custom CCU Scenes
CAMERA PAGE
No two rooms are exactly alike – but a lot of rooms are a lot alike. The technical folks at Vaddio (Scott, to
be specific) have already set up presets for common lighting scenarios (CCU scenes)– Incandescent Hi,
Incandescent Lo, Fluorescent Hi, Fluorescent Lo, and Outdoor. The Auto setting allows the camera to
determine the appropriate adjustments.
When adjusting for the room lighting, start with a factory-defined CCU scene and adjust as needed. After
you customize the camera's color and lighting settings, you can save the adjustments as a custom CCU
scene.
To make the initial adjustments:
Click one of the active CCU scene buttons to load a CCU scene into the camera.
Note
Color adjustments are not available when the Auto CCU scene is selected.
32
Page 38
Complete Manual for the RoboSHOT IW Architectural PTZ Conferencing Camera
To set up custom color and lighting settings:
1. Fine-tune the color and lighting as needed using the Color Settings controls.
o
Auto Iris allows the camera to compensate automatically for the light level.
o
Backlight Compensation (available with Auto Iris) reduces contrast to adjust for bright light behind
the main subject of the shot. This setting can't be used with Wide Dynamic Range.
o
Wide Dynamic Range (available with Auto Iris) increases the contrast between the brightest and
darkest areas. This setting can't be used with Backlight Compensation
o
Auto White Balance adjusts color automatically. Red gain and blue gain controls are not available
when Auto White Balance is selected.
o
Red Gain and Blue Gain provide manual color adjustment.
o
Detail adjusts the image sharpness.
o
Chroma adjusts the color intensity.
o
Gamma adjusts the range between bright areas and shadows.
The Color and Lighting Cheat Sheet may be helpful.
2. When the scene looks the way you want it to, click Store CCU Scene.
3. In the Store CCU Scene dialog box, select which custom scene to store (Custom A, B, or C) and select
Save.
4. Optional: Name the new scene by right-clicking its button. A dialog box opens. Enter the name and
save it.
If you make a change that you don't like, start over by selecting and then deselecting Auto White Balance.
Note
If the video looks grainy or “noisy,” try a lower Detail setting. As in conversation, too much detail is bad.

Setting the Custom Home Position and Other Preset Shots
CAMERA PAGE
The camera's default home position is 0° pan and 0° tilt; you can set a different home position.
You can also define other presets, for shots that you will want to use repeatedly. Presets may include
lighting and color settings and may specify Tri-Synchronous Motion or global preset speed settings.
Note
Storing a preset overwrites any information that was previously associated with that preset. The Store
Preset dialog does not show which presets have already been defined. Vaddio recommends renaming
presets when you store them.
To store a preset or custom home position:
1. Set up the shot.
2. Select Store to open the Store Preset dialog.
3. Select the preset to define, then save it.
Renaming Presets and Custom CCU Scenes
You can rename presets and custom scenes. The process is the same for both. Right-click the button for
the custom scene or preset, and edit the label.

Setting the Speed for Manual Movements
CAMERA PAGE
The Pan Speed, Tilt Speed, and Zoom Speed sliders control how fast the camera moves in response to the
direction and zoom controls on the IR remote and in the web interface.
Use the arrow and Zoom controls to check camera speed, and use the Speed sliders to adjust as needed.
Setting the Direction for Camera Movements
CAMERA PAGE
By default, the arrow buttons on the remote and in the web interface show the direction you would see the
camera move if you were looking the same direction as the camera. If a person facing the camera is
controlling it with the remote, using the right arrow pans the camera to the person's left.
To make the arrow buttons indicate camera movement from the perspective of a person facing the camera,
open the Settings control and invert the pan direction.

Software Switch Settings
SYSTEM PAGE, DIP SWITCHES TAB
The DIP Switches tab of the System page provides access to these features:
n Glass Mode (smart-glass enclosure only) – In Auto mode, the glass is clear whenever the camera is
sending video. In Manual mode, the Glass control is available on all pages of the web interface.
n Camera ID (IR Settings) – The IR Remote Commander can control up to three cameras in the same
room with different IR frequencies. Use IR Settings switches 1 and 2 to select the frequency to identify
the camera as camera 1 (both switches up), camera 2 (switch 1 down, switch 2 up), or camera 3
(switch 1 up, switch 2 down).

if IR is off.
n Image Flip – If mounting the camera upside-down, set IMAGE FLIP ON.
n Super Wide mode – Provides a wider horizontal field of view and greater zoom. Some distortion may
be present.
n Baud Rate – RS-232 serial communication rate (9600 bps or 38400 bps), for communication with a
controller via a OneLINK device.
n HDMI color – YCbCr (default) or sRGB.
n LED on/off – When the LED is set to OFF, it remains off even when the camera is sending video.
n Enable LED in Standby – When the LED is not enabled in standby mode, it is on when the camera is
sending video or updating firmware; but off when the camera is in standby mode.
n Standard Control Mode/Codec Control Mode – Select Codec Control Mode if using the camera with
a third-party codec.
n Video resolution – Select the desired video output resolution from the table. The pointer on the soft
rotary switch matches the resolution you select.

Operating the Camera from the Web Interface
CONTROLS PAGE
The Controls page provides most of the same controls as the IR Remote Commander. If guest access is
disabled, you will need to log in as user to access these controls.
n Move to camera presets, if any have been stored
n Pan, tilt, zoom, or return it to its home position
n Put the camera in standby or bring it back to the ready state
n Select a custom lighting adjustment, if any have been stored
Since the web interface is specific to the camera you are working with, it does not offer camera selection.
Switching the Camera Off or On (Standby)
Use the Standby button to switch between low-power (standby) and ready states. On entering standby
mode, the camera moves to its standby position and stops sending video.
If the camera has a smart glass cover, the glass is frosted when the camera is in standby mode.
Stop or Resume Sending Video (Mute)
Use the Mute button to stop sending live video without putting the camera in standby mode. When the
video is muted, the camera sends a blue or black screen. If the camera is part of a conferencing system,
this does not mute the audio.
If the camera has a smart glass cover, the glass remains clear when video is muted.

Moving the Camera
Use the arrow buttons for camera pan and tilt. The center button moves the camera to the home position.
Zooming In or Out
Use the Zoom + button to zoom in and the Zoom - button to zoom out.
Moving the Camera to a Preset Position
Presets are camera shots that have been stored. They include pan, tilt, and zoom information, and may
include color and speed information as well. If no presets are defined, the Controls page does not present
the Presets section.
Use the Preset buttons to move the camera to any of its preset positions.
Adjusting the Color and Lighting
If any color and lighting adjustments (CCU scenes)have been saved, they are available in the Scenes
area, along with the Auto setting. In most cases, the Auto setting is appropriate. This setting allows the
camera to adjust to current conditions automatically.

Telnet Command Reference
Vaddio's Telnet command protocol is a high-level, text-based command line interface supported via Telnet
session to the camera. Network connectivity and a Telnet client are required; the default Telnet port is 23.
Telnet sessions require the administrator account login.
The command application protocol interface is intended to allow external devices 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.
General format usage follows a get/set structure. Usage
examples for each type are:
Set Example
COMMAND: > camera zoom in
RESPONSE: > OK
Get Example
COMMAND: > camera ccu get iris
RESPONSE: > iris 11
Syntax Error Example
COMMAND: > camera preset 1
RESPONSE: > Syntax error: Unknown or incomplete command
Using a question mark as a command parameter will bring up a list of available commands for the menu
you are in.
Things to know about control via Telnet session:
n Command lines are terminated with a carriage return.
n All ASCII characters (including carriage returns)are echoed to the terminal program and appended with
the VT100 string ESC[J (hex 1B 5B 4A), which most terminal programs automatically strip.
n CTRL-5 Clears the current serial buffer on the device.
Typographical conventions:
n {x | y | z} – Choose x, y, or z. Example: camera led {on | off | toggle }
n <variable> – Substitute the desired value here. Example:camera ccu get <param>
n < x - y > – Valid range of values is from x through y. Example:camera ccu set detail <0..15>
n [parameter] – Parameter is not required. Example:camera pan left [<speed>]
