Connecting Camera to Network

Two common connection methods are shown below:

Connecting via switch or router
To connect directly through network cable, the IP address of the computer should be changed so that it is on the same network segment as the camera E.g.: The factory-preset default IP address of VC-TR1 is 192.168.100.100. The computer IP address must be set with the same network segment, such as 192.168.100.101, so that the computer can be connected correctly with the camera

● Change network settings

※ Recommendation: When setting the tracking area, you have to make sure there is only one tracking target moving in this area. Excluding the probability of non-tracking targets appearing in this area is required
◾ Everywhere Tracking:
After being checked, the target will still be tracked automatically if it is outside the green tracking area frame
◾ Blocked Area(1-8):

| Problems|

Solutions

---|---|---

1.

| After enabling tracking, the target size does not meet expectations| You can adjust the setting by Presenter Frame. Set the scale size by the designated position, and zoom to the desired scale

2.

| When stopping tracking, can the screen stay at the designated position?| By Stage Frame function, you can set the desired position to stay as the position for stopping tracking

3.

| How to activate and stop the tracking function?| It can be activated and stopped via [Start]/[Stop] in the CMS software. In addition, F1/F2 on the remote control can be used to activate and stop the function

4.

| How to make the camera direct to a designated position instead of tracking the presenter (target) during tracking?| You can set by Partition Tracking
This function is to set the customized area. When the tracking target appears in the specific position, the camera will automatically direct to the preconfigured Preset position

5.

| After using the mask frame function, why does the camera still tracking the target when it appears in the mask frame?| The mask frame will only turn off moving object detection, not face detection. When TR1 already detects the target tracking face, even the target enters the mask area, TR1 will keep tracking the target until the target leaves the tracking area
6.| Turn on/off Expert Mode| Expert Mode is to show the identifier fame after enabling tracking. It helps users to know the current detection precision and if there is any on-site tracking issue caused by environment interference (Blue/red one is the face detection fame, and green one is the object detection frame)
7.| How to change the default path of recording and snapshots?| Access the LumensCMS main screen and click the tool icon (LumensCMS Configuration) to change the recording path
8.| LumensCMS cannot connect to VC-TR1|

Please confirm that the computer and the camera are in the same network segment
Please refer Chapter 7 DIP Switching Setting in the VC-TR1 User Manual to make sure the dial is set to Ethernet output
