Quick Start

Add Cameras to Your Network
Please do the connections as the following. You must have a router in your network, then router will assign IP address for the cameras automatic. If you don’t have router in your network, cameras can’t get IP address from your network.

Camera’s screen will show its IP address, you can visit camera’s webpage by camera’s IP address.

Tips: When you login the camera’s webpage, you’d better change the IP from “Dynamic IP Address” to “Fixed IP Address”, then camera will keep currently IP ,or when camera rebooted, router rebooted, router will assign a new IP address for the camera.

Visit Camera’s Webpage
Please use web browser such as: Google Chrome, Firefox or Safari to Visit camera’s IP address
User name: admin Password: admin

IP Streaming to Vmix or OBS
Tips: recommend to use VLC streaming in Vmix and OBS, it has lower latency.

If you want to use normal RTSP stream:
RTSP UDP Stream URL: rtsp://192.168.0.100:554/1
Please note, you need change the IP address to your camera’s IP address.

IP Steam to YouTube or Facebook
YouTube, Facebook or other live broadcast platforms will supply Stream URL(server URL) and stream key for you.

Example for YouTube:
Stream URL: rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/
Stream Key: 8m8q-0yrp-w95f-spd0-ft55

Now go to camera’s webpage -> network -> RTMP Settings. input the RTMP stream URL:
rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/8m8q-0yrp-w95f-spd0-ft55 (Format: Stream URL/Stream Key)
Save and reboot the camera, camera will stream to YouTube.

Example for Facebook:
Server URL: rtmps://live-api-s.facebook.com:443/rtmp/
Stream Key: FB-117626344422167-0-AbzhIyyXbQGNT47w

Now go to camera’s webpage -> network -> RTMP Settings.
input the RTMP stream URL: rtmps://live- api-s.facebook.com:443/rtmp/FB-117626344422167-0-AbzhIyyXbQGNT47w
(Format: Stream URL/Stream Key)

Save and reboot the camera, it will stream to Facebook.

Connect Camera to Controller Keyboard
Some information you need:
User Name: admin Password: admin
Sony Visca port: 52381 IP Visca UDP port: 1259
IP Visca TCP port: 5678 Onvif Port: 2000

We recommend to use Sony Visca or IP Visca control protocols, the two protocols are more steady and work better.
Let’s use FoMaKo KC-608 IP controller for example:
(1) Connection: Camera and the IP controller must be in the same LAN (connect to the same router/switch by network cable)
(2) Enable controller’s DHCP, then reboot the controller
Then, router will assign an IP address for the controller
(3) press “Setup” – >Add: Sony Visca (or IP Visca) – > input your camera’s IP – > input port:52381 (IP Visca UDP:1259) – > input camera control ID(1-255 numbers)
(4) If you have more than one cameras need to add to the controller, please press “IP” button to add the camera’s IP address to controller one by one.

How to output 4K video
Camera’s video resolution:
SDI output: max 1080P@60fps
HDMI output: max 4K(3840×2160)@60fps
IP(NDI)Output: max 4K(3840×2160)@60fps
USB Output: 4K(3840×2160)@30fps
So, if you want to output 4K video, please use HDMI, IP, NDI or USB video out,
SDI video out max support 1080P.

Important:
– HDMI and IP(NDI) output max support 4K@25/30fps at the same time;
– If HDMI output set to 4K@50/60fps, then, IP(NDI) max support 1080P@60fps;
– If IP(NDI) output set to 4K@50/60fps, then, HDMI max support 1080P@60fps.

Simultaneous output three HD digital signals
(1) HDMI + USB + IP(NDI)
(2) 3G-SDI + USB + IP(NDI)
Note: HDMI and 3G-SDI can’t output at the same time.

If you need more supports, please contact us at: ivan@fomako.net, normally, we can reply you within 12 hours.

2. Turn off the power switch to check whether the camera is self-testing.
3. Check the cable of video platform and TV whether correct connection.
    The video image displayed by the camera lens is jittery
4. Check whether the camera installed position be stabled.
5. Check whether have vibrating machinery or object near the camera.

 There is no video image in Browser IE browser does not support H5, you need to use VLC plug-in to view videos. Please access VLC website (http://www.videolan.org/vlc) download and install the 32-bit VLC media player, after it installed, access camera will have normal image display. Other mainstream browsers already support H5 and do not need to install the VLC plug-in.

 Unable to access camera through Browser

1. Using PC to access the network to test whether the network access can work properly, first of all, the network fault caused by the PC virus can be eliminated, until the PC and camera can communicate with each other Ping.
2. Disconnect the network, connect camera and PC separately, and reset the IP address of PC.
3. Check IP address, subnet mask, and gateway settings for camera.
4. Check whether the MAC address is conflicts.
5. Check whether the web port is modified.
6. The default web port is 80.

 Forget the IP address or login password Please remember (The default IP address:
192.168.100.88; default user name: admin; default password: admin).

Control
 Remote control cannot control

1. Check and replace the new battery for the remote controller.
2. Check whether the camera working mode is correct.
3. Check whether the address of remote control can match the camera.
    Serial port cannot control
4. Check whether the camera protocol, address and baud rate such is the same.
5. Check whether the control line is connected well.
