4.2 System Wiring

IE Login and Track Setup Process

5.1 Connection Mode
Direct connection: Connect the camera via a network cable to the external Internet access of the PC Internet connection mode: Connect the camera to the Internet via a router or network switch; users can then log into the device using a web browser
Note: To prevent reduced video quality and unstable signal transmission, DO NOT put the power and network cables in places where they can be easily touched
The computer must have the network segment the camera IP address belongs to. The camera will not be accessible via the network if the computer is not set to the same segment (i.e. since the camera’s default IP address is 192.168.5.163, then segment 5 must be added in the computer).

Specific steps are as below:
First, open the Local Area Connection Properties window on the computer, then select “Internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” to enter into the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window. Select “Advanced” to enter into the Advanced TCP/IP Settings, and add the IP address and subnet mask in the IP browser. Click “Confirm” to finish adding the IP segment.

Note: The IP address to be added cannot be the same as that of any other computers or devices.
Verify that no other devices are using the IP address BEFORE adding it to avoid network conflicts.
To verify whether the network segment has been successfully added, click “Start” and search for “cmd” to open the Command Prompt window. Type “ping 192.168.5.26” and press Enter. If the windows displays information as shown below, the network segment was added successfully.

Users can verify the network connection of the camera using the steps mentioned above after it finishes its self-check. If the IP is set to its default, open the Command Prompt window, input “ping 192.168.5.163”, then press Enter. If the settings are correct, you will see the message below.

5.6 Configure Tracking Parameters

5.6.1 Teacher Tracking Configuration
There are three preset positions used by the camera for tracking:
Platform Preset – Selected by the camera when a person is detected in the tracking area
Panoramic Preset – Selected by the camera when the tracking is lost. Located in Advanced Settings.
Close-up Preset – Selected by the camera when the tracking is lost. Located in Advanced Settings.

1. Stop Tracking

2. Set Platform Preset
   This is the camera preset for the starting position of the platform area. Once a person is detected in the defined platform area, the camera switches to this preset and starts tracking, and will follow the person horizontally as long as they are detected in this area.
   Position the camera with a clear view of the platform or stage (for reference, have someone stand in the middle of the platform) and then save by clicking the Platform Preset Save button. During normal tracking, the size of the teacher’s image in the picture will use this preset as a reference. When the tracking target is lost, the camera goes to the Target Lost preset set in Advanced Settings.

3. Set Panoramic Preset
   Use this setting to define the position of the Panoramic preset for the Target Lost setting in Advanced Settings.
   Position the camera to get a wide area view of the instructor and click the Panoramic Preset Save button.

4. Set Close-up Preset
   Use this setting to define the instructor’s desk position during target lost. The camera will go to this
   preset by selecting Close-up Preset in Target Lost located in Advanced Settings when target is lost.

5. Area Settings
   Select Area Settings to define the area of the platform and mask areas.

6. Configure Platform Area
   This region defines the tracking area of the instructor. Drag a box around the region where the instructor’s torso will appear in the camera’s view. Ensure that the heads of students or audience members are not in this area.

7. Mask Area
   Mask Areas are areas which may impact the teacher tracking, especially places that have dynamic changes such as TVs, projectors, doors, and windows. To create a mask, click the Advanced Settings button and then Mask Area. Click-on the Mask Area # until it is highlighted as yellow. Define the Mask region (by dragging a box around the area in the camera’s view) and click on it again. Enable the mask areas and test; the mask area should now be excluded from the camera’s auto-tracking.

8. Advanced Settings
   Target lost: This setting has three options: Panoramic Preset, Platform Preset and Close-up Preset.
   Choose the preset to view when the camera loses its tracking target.

Tracking Modes:
Real-Time Tracking Mode Movie Mode
Area Tracking Mode
Tracking Sensitivity: This setting dictates the amount of action required to trigger the camera’s tracking.
Increasing this setting will cause the camera to identify and react to smaller movements while tracking.
