Network Connection 1. Operating Environment Operating System: Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista/7/8.1/10 Network Protocol: TCP/IP Client PC: P4/128M RAM/40G HD/ support for scaled graphics card, support for DirectX8.0 or more advanced version. 2. Equipment Installation 1) Connect camera to your network via a CAT5 or CAT6 patch cable or directly to your PC via a CAT5 or CAT6 crossover cable. 2) Turn on camera power.
Setting up a Network Video Stream with the PTZOptics camera (Also see information on camera web information in the following section) 1. The first thing you are going to want to do to get your camera up and streaming on your network is to connect your camera to power, to an active network port on your network and finally to power the camera on. 2. Next, go online and download the IP address setting tool, for Windows Operating Systems, from the PTZOptics Download Page.
You should now be able to set your cameras IP address to one in the range of your network. You should be able to leave the subnet mask alone, unless you are configuring the camera for use across (example: 192.168.111.1) (Note that in more complex network environments you may have to request a “STATIC IP” from the IT department to prevent any possible complications on your network in addition to the appropriate Network Mask, Default Gateway and First DNS for that Static IP) 5.
The main thing to note about the IP interface is that all adjustments will occur on the IP stream only. It will not affect the HDMI, SDI or USB connections of the camera. In addition, presets set in the IP interface will not be the same as the IR remote presets and vice-versa. 9. You should now be able to receive an RTSP stream from your camera. The following video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmqI0hjT0UI&feature=youtu.be, shows how to setup an RTSP stream in Wirecast.
EXTRAS 1. Discovering your Network IP range. NOTE: Changing your IP address without talking to your network admin could lead to conflicts with your network. If you change your address to one that is already is use it will cause communication problems. If you need to discover the IP address range of your network you can do so by using command prompt for Windows or Terminal for Macs. To do this on a PC, you would type “CMD” into your search bar in the Windows menu.

1) LAN Settings IP settings for the device can be set here using either static (fixed) or DHCP (dynamic) addressing as selected from the drop down list. The Default the IP address of the camera is 192.168.100.88. The MAC address can be modified but should be left as set by the factory. Please note that after changing the IP settings for the camera, you may not be able to reconnect until your PC is set for and connected to the same subnet or visible via proper network routing. Page 48 of 58 Rev 1.
2) Port Settings While the IP address identifies the device, the camera uses multiple ports. HTTP Port: This is the port for the web application (the default http port: 80) RTSP Port: The camera supports the RTSP streaming protocol. The default port: 554. PTZ Port: Supports camera control via the TCP protocol. The default port: 5678. 3) Control Protocol Settings Control addresses for VISCA (1-7), Pelco-D (0-254) and Pelco-P (0-31) may be set here.

Photobooth Functionality Your PTZOptics camera has the ability to quickly, and easily, take a series of four (4) still images or video files that are stored on the camera and made accessible with a standard web browser on the same network. We’ll cover how to use this new feature to take still images, videos and how to retrieve them.
To retrieve your series of four (4) videos you will need to open a standard web browser with network access to the camera and use the following HTTP strings to retrieve the video files as desired. Video 1: http:///video1.mp4 Video 2: http:///video2.mp4 Video 3: http:///video3.mp4 Video 4: http:///video4.
USB Control of Camera Connect a USB 3.0 cable from the camera to a computer’s USB3.0 port. Install the software downloaded from the downloads page at PTZOptics.com (amcap.exe) and double click the .exe to start the program (there is no installation required). From the Options Menu choose the Video Capture Filter command. Use the camera controls to control the camera. Some early releases of the camera model may not support UVC control (control over USB).
⚫ Image is shaky or vibrating. 1. Check whether camera is mounted solidly or sitting on a steady horizontal and level surface. 2. Check the building and any supporting furniture for vibration. Ceiling mounts are often affected by building vibration more than wall mounts. 3. Any external vibration that is affecting the camera will be more apparent when in tele zoom (zoomed in) settings. Control ⚫ IR remote controller does not control the camera 1.
Important Notes Regarding USB Connectivity: USB 3.0 ports are backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices. USB 2.0 ports are not completely forward compatible with USB 3.0 devices (some USB 3.0 devices will connect to USB 2.0 with limited functionality). External USB hubs should be avoided (i.e. give the camera its own USB port on the device) as they are not well suited to transmitting HD video reliably.
In this example, you can see the PTZOptics model in use connected as a fully functional USB 3.0 device (PTZOptics). If your device has not connected to or has not recognized the PTZOptics as an imaging device (in which case, you may see a new “unknown device”, “Westbridge” or “CYTFX3” labeled device show up in Device Manager’s “Universal Serial Bus Controllers” section rather than in the “Imaging Devices” section), the PTZOptics will not be available to programs that utilize a camera.
