OTTICA IP PTZ Camera Controller VISCA, ONVIF, PELCO

Precautions

1. What is the function of CAM NUM when adding a network device?
   CAM NUM will be associated and bound with the currently entered IP and port information.  It will quickly switch to the CAM NUM bound device when adding a device with the “CAM” button.

2. How do I enter an IP address?
   The camera controller doesn’t have a “.” button, so please enter the IP address with four segments.
   Take the IP address 192.168.0.1 for example. It will automatically jump to the next segment when finished inputting a segment with three numbers, 192 and 168; but after inputting a segment with only one number, 0, you must move the joystick rightward to switch over to the next segment to continue inputting.
   

3. How do I clear while in input mode?
   Move the joystick leftward to clear the input information.

4. The home page of each mode refers to the displayed page when the controller initialization is complete.

In IP VISCA and ONVIF Mode, if you see the prompts of “Visca!” and “Onvif!”, the IP address displayed on the screen is local IP address of the controller. While the prompts of “Visca:” and “Onvif:” are shown on the page, the IP address displayed on-screen belongs the connected device.

Product Overview

1.1 Product Features

1.2 Wiring Diagram

Both the Controller and PTZ camera must be connected to the same LAN. The IP addresses of both the PTZ Camera and Controller must operate within the same network segment.

For example:
192.168.1.123 is within the same segment as 192.168.1.111
192.168.1.123 is not within the same segment as 192.168.0.125
