Configuration and Administration Guide for the DocCAM 20 HDBT Ceiling-Mounted Document Camera

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 the web interface. If the LAN 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.

Getting the Camera's IP Address

You will need to be able to view the camera's video output on an HDMI display.

1. Press the Data Screen button on the remote. The room 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 and you will need to configure it for
your network. You can configure the camera’s static IP address either through the network or from a
computer connected directly to its Ethernet port. You may need a crossover cable.

Note

For static addressing, work with your ITdepartment to determine the correct IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway information.

Accessing the Web Interface

Enter the IP address or hostname in your browser's address bar. If you use the hostname, you may need to
enter http:// or https:// as a prefix to keep the browser from treating it as a search query.

Browser Support

We have tested this product with these web browsers:

n Chrome®
n Microsoft® Internet Explorer®
n Safari®
n Firefox®

We test using the browser version available from the vendor at that time. Older versions of these browsers
are likely to work, and other browsers may also work.
