Hello, Paul Richards here from PTZOptics. Today I'm going to show everyone how to connect
the PTZOptics camera to the network, and access it over your network. So it's actually quite
easy, and that's one of the beauties of the PTZOptics cameras. The first thing were going
to do here is we're going to download our IP address setting tool. And that's going
to allow us to search out our network for all the cameras that are on the network. So
I go ahead and open up the tool, all you have to do is click the search button. Click search,
and I can see I've got two unique IDs here with two different IP addresses. So I have
here Where is it, here we go. I've got IP address 192.168.111*.87 and dot 88.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to use a tool here that I've actually already opened both of these cameras.
So as you can see here I've actually got a live video preview of each camera and then
I've got the ability to pan tilt and zoom. So this is actually being served directly
off the camera itself. The camera is serving up this IP address set at the static IP address.
And I've got control over two different cameras. So that is the way that works, this camera
in our board room here is set with our super slow PTZ control, and you can see here that
I can actually set the pan and tilt speed. So I set that, and I can now pan and tilt
around the room a little faster. Now lets take a look at the different options that we have
once we are actually in the system here. So the first thing we have is the ability to
change the video format and the resolution of our IP streams. So you can set it to 1080,
720, 576*, we can change the bit rate, the frame rate, we can do a secondary stream,
which is either 720 by 576, or 320 by 240, you can set the frame rate there. We can also
change the image settings so we can change the brightness a little bit, which actually
looks kind of nice, change the saturation a hair. Then click apply and the camera will
actually reboot itself and apply those settings. Now we have some area for audio because PTZOptics
does have an audio input. So this is where we can change the sample rate, the bit rate,
the line level in, and the volume at which were using. Here's where we can set up our
RTSP, SDK, or multicast. Here's were we can change the username and password, to get into
this system. I actually skipped that step because I was already logged in, but there
is a username and password for the first time that you sign in, by default it's "admin"
"admin" so this is where we can do our RTSP and RTMP streaming. this is our fixed IP address
here, our gateway, our DNS, our MAC address, these are the ports were using for RTSP, and
then down here this is where we can set up our first RTMP and our second RTMP stream.
Which we are changing the video resolutions on the other page. We can also set up ONVIF
and multicast. So this tell us the software and firmware that we are editing here, and
that's just the full overview of what we can do. So that's the camera, and as you can see
we have multiple cameras here. Now what I want to show here, is I want to show our open
source control software. So on this page we actually have, this is our open source control
software. And all we have to do is type in the IP address to the camera I want to control.
Which currently is 88, and now I'm actually panning and tilting this camera. Again let's
go ahead and change the PTZ features to go a little faster here. Issue another command
and you can see its moving faster. So we can PTZ around, now this software on the left
is completely open source. So that means you can take this software and you can change
it, which is quite nice. You can put your own logo here, you could have it control 2, 3, or 4
cameras on the same page. Basically you get everything that's on this built into the camera
with an open source control software that you can edit and change. I just have this
hosted on my computer here, the open source software is available right here on our website
here. You can download it, play around with it. do whatever you want with it. You can
call pre-sets, we ave different pre-sets on this camera. You can do pretty much anything
you want, you can name these pre-sets to make it easier for your end users, and you can pretty
much take control of the camera in various different ways. So we've reviewed getting
the camera on your network, obviously plugging it into your network, we've reviewed finding
the camera on your network. Now finally if you need to set a static IP address, you
can actually do that here in the config area. So you would just change the IP address here,
you would select the camera you would want to change, and put in the new IP address.
So we have a separate video on that, so I won't go through it completely. but I just
wanted to show the different tools of getting a PTZOptics camera on the network and being
able to control them over the network
Thanks for watching, and have a nice day
