- IP-streaming: Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN port for IP streaming (MJPEG, H.264, H.265).
- Lydindgang: Connect an external microphone or audio source to the 3.5mm LINE IN port. Audio will be embedded into HDMI and IP streams.
For local recording, connect a FAT32 formatted storage device to the USB 2.0 port. This port is for recording only and is not a video output interface.
4. Betjeningsvejledning
4.1 Indledende tænding
After connecting power, the camera will perform a self-test. Wait for this process to complete before attempting to control the camera.
4.2 Betjening af fjernbetjening
The included IR remote control allows for comprehensive camera control. Ensure the remote is pointed towards the camera's IR receiver.
Controlling Multiple Cameras with One Remote:
To control multiple SMTAV PTZ cameras with a single remote, each camera must have a unique address set. The default address of the camera is 1. Follow these steps to set camera addresses and control them:
- Turn on the first camera and wait for its self-test to complete.
- On the remote control, press the "*", "#", and "F1" keys in sequence to set the address of the first camera to "1".
- Select the white key "1" in the "CAMERA SELECT" area of the remote control. You can now test control of the first camera.
- Turn off the first camera. Turn on the second camera and wait for its self-test to complete.
- On the remote control, press the "*", "#", and "F2" keys in sequence to set the address of the second camera to "2".
- Select the white key "2" in the "CAMERA SELECT" area of the remote control. You can now test control of the second camera.
- Repeat this process for additional cameras, using "F3" for camera 3, "F4" for camera 4, and so on, up to "F7" for camera 7.
- Once all cameras have unique addresses, turn on all cameras one by one and wait for their self-check to complete.
- You can now select the desired camera using the corresponding white key (1-7) in the "CAMERA SELECT" area of the remote control to operate it individually.
