Safety Guide

  1. Before operation, please read all of the instructions in the manual carefully. For your convenience, please keep this manual.
  2. The camera power input range is 100-240VACv(50-60Hz). Ensure the power supply input is within this rate before powering on.
  3. Camera power voltage = 12VDC,rated currency= 2A.Wesuggestyou use it with the original power supply adapter supplied by the factory.
  4. Please keep the power cable, video cable, and control cable in a safe place and out of obstructions.
  5. 0perationalenvironment: 0°C-50°C/32°F-122°F,with humidity levels less than 90%.To avoid any damage, do no put or pour anything inside the camera.
  6. Avoid weight stress, vibration, and pressure on the camera during transportation, storage, and installation.
  7. Do not remove the camera housing or cover. Doing so will void the warranty.
  8. Do not direct the camera towards strong/intensive light. Doing so could cause irreversible damage to the camera and void warranty.
  9. Use a dry and soft cloth to clean the camera housing with a neutral cleaning agent, when needed. To avoid damage on the camera lens, do not use strong or abrasive cleaning agents on the camera housing.
  10. Do not move the camera by moving the camera head. To avoid mechanical trouble, do not rotate the camera head by hand. Please refrain from moving the camera while it is in motion. Doing so could cause irreversible damage to the camera and void warranty.
  11. Make sure the camera is on a fixed and balanced platform. Avoid any slanted placements.
  12. Power Supply Polarity Schematics:

Warning:
Video quality can be affected by specific frequencies of electromagnetic field.

  1. Login
    0pen your browser and in the address bar, type in the camera’s default IP address: 192.168.1.188 (If that doesn’t work please check in the camera’s menu to see the actual IP address under INF0) Next, enter the username and password. The default for both is admin.

  2. Real-time Preview
    When logging in, you will see the Realtime preview of the camera.AIDA PTZ
X12 IP Full HD Optical Zoom PTZ - PreviewAs seen, the control interface is on the right. You can control the camera’s movements with the movement pad at the top, as well as control zoom and focus. You can also set the movement, focus, and zoom speed, as well being able to control your presets.![AIDA PTZ X12 IP Full HD Optical Zoom PTZ

Under “Video Encode”, you can enable the RTSP/RTMP streams for both the main and sub streams. You may also change the Encode mode, choosing betweenH.264orH.265.Lastly, you can change the framerate and bitrate for each stream on this menu.

AIDA PTZ X12 IP Full HD Optical Zoom PTZ - VideoEncode

“RTMP Setting” allows you to directly stream to many social platforms such as YouTube & Facebook Live.
Here you can place the RTMP address, as well as enable the RTMP stream. To do this, you must:
1st: First obtain the live RTMP address (for YouTube, it is rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2). You will also need your stream key.
2nd: Place the live RTMP address in the Main RTMP address box.
3rd: Next, ensure that there is a forward slash (/)after the RTMP address. If there is already a forward slash, please skip this step.
4th: Lastly, paste your stream key after the forward slash (/).
5th: Click Save.
0nce you complete these steps, your PTZ will immediately start uploading to your social platforms channel. You will see a blue checkmark next to the RTMP state, which will show if your RTMP address is correctly inputted. No reboot required!
Custom RTMP stream keys also allows you to make your own RTMP address and pull that stream from other programs. If you are stuck on any of these steps, contact our support. They will be glad to assist you in any problems you may encounter. AIDA PTZ X12 IP Full HD Optical Zoom PTZ -

For NDI versions, you will also see the NDI on and off button here.
In the “audio settings” tab, audio can be turned off or on. You are also able to adjust the encode mode, sample rate, and bitrate.AIDA PTZ X12 IP Full HD

VISCA over IP

The AIDA PTZ’s use VISCA over IP protocol to reliably send and receive information from IP controllers.
Communication port specs:

  • Control port: RJ-45 Gigabit LAN
  • IP Protocol:IPv4
  • Transmit Protocol: UDP
  • IP address: Default 192.168.1.188 (Check OSD Menu)
  • Port address:52381
  • Confirm send/transmission control: Depends on software

What is VISCA over IP?
VISCA commands are the communication between the controller and the camera. These commands are sent via UDP on the network. Since UDP transmission isn’t that stable, a couple of steps must happen before a movement is  executed. The controller first sends out a VISCA command. The camera equipment then receives the VISCA command and returns that message back to the controller. 0ncethe commands are executed, the action will follow suit and the  message will be complete. Each VISCA command controls its own setting, so there are no overlaps in existing commands.
