Web Settings

The cameras web interface supports Google Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari, 0pera, and other major browsers.

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.
Real-time Preview
When logging in, you will see the realtime preview of the camera. As 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.
Parameter Settings
Click “Setting” to enter the parameter setting interface as seen below:

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.

“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.

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, samplerate, and bitrate.

“Image Parameter” is the online version of the OSD Menu. You can change the same settings via browser.

“Ethernet” allows for fine tuning if the IP portion of the camera. You can enable DHCP for auto IP configuration.

Gateway	192.168.1.1

To upgrade the firmware on our PTZ, head over to our website at aidaimaging.com/download and look for the latest PTZ firmware.
The “Reset to default” portion allows you to factory reset image parameter reset, or reboot the camera.
Simple Reset: 0nlyresets customizable camera options: AE, WB, Image Effects, etc.
Complete Reset: Factory resets the camera, including the IP address Reboot: Reboot ISP portion of the camera.

“Account Settings” is used to change the log in for the account. You can change the username and password here.

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.
