Wiring Diagram

The controller and PTZ camera must be connected within the same LAN. IP addresses need to be set at the same segment.

For example:
If your camera is set to 192.168.1.123, the keyboard should be set to 192.168.1.xxx. Keep the first 3 sections the same.
The default setting of AV-3104IP controller is obtaining IP address dynamically.

Troubleshooting

1. What is the function of CAM NUM when add a network device?
   CAM NUM will be assigned to and associated with the currently added IP device and port.

2. How to enter user name, password and custom keys of F1/ F2.
   For instance, to enter letter “C”, simply press number key【2】three times until the letter shows on the screen.

3. How to enter IP address?
   This camera controller doesn’t have “.” button. So, the IP address is entered with 4 segments.
   Take 192.168.0.1 as an example, the cursor will automatically jump to the next segment once 3 digits are entered; if there’re less than 3 digits in one segment, you’ll have to move the joystick rightward to go to the next segment.

4. How to delete a digit?
   Move the joystick leftward to delete the input information.

5. IP VISCA and ONVIF mode:
   If you see 【Visca !】 / 【Onvif !】, the IP address displayed on the screen should be the controller’s IP address. If you see 【Visca :】 / 【Onvif :】, the IP address displayed on the screen is the connected device’s IP address.
