Hardware This manual covers the industrial LCAM 408i with MJPEG streaming capabilities and its software. The LCAM 408i has outer dimensions of approx. 75 mm (L), 55 mm (W), 113 mm (H). M12 connectors The M12 connectors on the bottom side are used for Ethernet connection (named with SERVICE) and the other for Power Supply (named with PWR).
3,40 x 2,60 m @ 2 Meter distance Mounting the camera There are different options to mount the LCAM 408i 1.6.1 With screws The camera can by mounted to a flat surface with four M4 * 4 screws. There is no preferred mounting direction.
1.6.2 At a Rod (14-20mm) with the BT 56-1 or BT 300-1 1.6.3 With a mounting angle The camera can mount to the BT 300W and adjust in different directions...
Start streaming video When finished, start the streaming client as shown below. This document gives an introduction into the use of the LCAM 408i with MJPEG streaming. The Software API is available on request. Web Interface Changing Camera IPs Under *Network settings* you can choose between static address assignment and DHCP mode.
Default network settings The default factory settings for network are: DHCP 192.168.60.101 This is in one of the private IP spaces IP Mask 255.255.0.0 Gateway Not needed for test, change for large nets DNS server Not needed for test, change for large nets Order number Camera-individual Default login data...
Camera Settings Camera settings can only be changed by the web interface. It is possible to change the exposure time, the gain of the different color channels, image flipping and Bayer mode. Gain values for the color components can be used for color correction. Exposure sets the exposure time of the sensor.
Streaming To watch the streamed image with the VideoLANClient VLC on a 64-Bit Windows system use the line: "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" tcp://IPaddress:5001 --network-caching=0 Fill in the IP address of the camera and adjust the path to vlc.exe as needed. The typical setting in VLC looks like this: Be sure to set caching and IP address if not done so on the command line.

3.6.2 RTSP-Protocol (Softwareversion 45d1eab) The LCAM supports the livestream on the RTSP-Protocol. You can use the with e.g. Siemens Comfort-Panel rtsp://192.168.60.101:554/jpeg (It shows the Default IP-Adrdess of the LCAM) Important: The RTSP-Protocol allow maximum Pixels up to 2000. Therefore we recommend to use as maximum the picture resolution of 1920x1080 pixel (FullHD) 3.6.3 Live stream in the browser (Softwareversion 45d1eab)
Menus The LCAM 408i has an internal web server that has the following menus. Administration 4.1.1 Factory reset 4.1.2 Password selection Here one of the two possible passwords can be selected to be changed or set.
4.1.3 Password setting Here passwords are changed and set. 4.1.4 Reboot System reboot is done without further data and should be finished after a minute.
4.1.5 Update The update process needs a path to a firmware file. Image settings 4.2.1 Automatic Exposure Here, image sizes and frame rates can be selected. Image size is limited by sensor parameters, however, smaller images can be selected. The LCam supports two independent streams with the same content on different ports, one full-size and one scaled-down.

Bayer mode because the flipping will change the starting pixels the Bayer mode the mode has to be adjusted if flipping is done. In streaming mode this setting has no effect Sleep between only used in webcam mode, not in streaming mode snaps Automatic gain enables the automatic exposure control...
4.2.2 Manual Exposure In manual exposure mode, gain and exposure parameters can be set. At the moment camera settings can only be changed by the web interface. It is possible to change the exposure time, the gain of the different color channels, image flipping and Bayer mode. Gain values for the color components can be used for color correction.
