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.

To display the camera's IP address:

1. Point the remote at the camera and press the Data Screen button. The camera overlays its IP address and MAC address on the video output.

2. Press the button again to dismiss the information display.

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

Work with your ITdepartment to determine the correct IP address, subnet mask, and gateway information.

To access 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.

Configuring Network Settings

NETWORKING PAGE

Caution

Consult your IT department before editing network settings. Errors in network configuration can make the camera and its IP stream inaccessible from the network. Do not change DHCP/Static addressing, IP address, subnet mask, or gateway unless you are very familiar with the characteristics and configuration of the network where you install the camera.

Page 20

Complete Manual for the PrimeSHOT 20 HDMI PTZ Camera

Editable network settings include:

n The camera’s hostname n Choice of static IP addressing or DHCP addressing n IP address, subnet mask, and gateway, if static IP addressing is used

If your network supports hostname resolution, you may find it convenient to change the camera's hostname.

DHCP is the default setting, but the camera will use the default address of 169.254.1.1 if no DHCP server is available. You will only be able to enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway if you set IP Address to Static.

Setting 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. If you are not sure about this, use the default.

Page 21

Complete Manual for the PrimeSHOT 20 HDMI PTZ Camera

Managing Access and Passwords

SECURITY PAGE

Things you can do on this page:

n Allow people to access the Controls screen without logging on (Allow Guest Access) – this is enabled

Setting Other Camera Behaviors

SYSTEM PAGE, DIP SWITCHES TAB

The DIP Switches tab of the System page provides access to these features via soft switches:

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, 2, or 3; then use the Camera Select buttons at the top of the remote to select the camera you want to control.

Image Flip – If mounting the camera upside-down, set IMAGE FLIP ON.

Baud Rate (9600 bps or 38400 bps) – RS-232 serial communication rate.

HDMI color – YCbCr (default) or sRGB.

LED color scheme – Status light color codes for Pro AV (broadcast)or UC (unified conferencing); set to

Pro AV by default, to follow the standard for broadcast cameras. At this time, the two color schemes are functionally identical on this camera.

LED on/off – In most cases, Vaddio recommends leaving the status light on, to let people in the room know whether the camera is currently sending video.

S-Video NTSC/PAL – US (NTSC) or European (PAL) format.

Enable/Disable LED in Standby Mode – If the LED is enabled in standby (low-power) mode, it

illuminates purple when the camera is in standby mode. If the LED is disabled, it turns off when the camera is in standby mode.

Use a question mark as a command parameter to bring up a list of commands, subcommands, or command parameters. For example:

> camera focus ?

near Focus the camera near far Focus the camera far stop Stop the camera focus mode Camera focus mode

Things you might need 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 n {x | y | z} – Choose x, y, or z. n n <variable> – Substitute the desired value here. n n < x - y > – Valid range of values is from x through y. n n [optional] – Parameter is not required.
