EXTRAS Discovering your Network IP range. NOTE: Changing your IP address without talking to your network admin could lead to conflicts with your network. If you change your address to one that is already in use it will cause communication problems. If you need to discover the IP address range of your network you can do so by using command prompt for Windows or Terminal for Macs.

Photobooth Functionality Your PTZOptics camera has the ability to quickly, and easily, take a series of four (4) still images or video files that are stored on the camera and made accessible with a standard web browser on the same network. We’ll cover how to use this new feature to take still images, videos and how to retrieve them.
Page 56
To retrieve your series of four (4) videos you will need to open a standard web browser with network access to the camera and use the following HTTP strings to retrieve the video files as desired. Video 1: http://<camera ip>/video1.mp4 Video 2: http://<camera ip>/video2.mp4 Video 3: http://<camera ip>/video3.mp4 Video 4: http://<camera ip>/video4.mp4...
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Camera Maintenance ⚫ If the camera will not be used for a long time, please turn off the power switch. ⚫ Use a soft cloth or lotion-free tissue to clean the camera body. ⚫ Use a soft dry lint-free cloth to clean the lens. If the camera is very dirty, clean it with a diluted neutral detergent. Do not use any type of solvent or harsh detergent, which may damage the surface.
Page 58
Control ⚫ IR remote controller does not control the camera Does one of the 4 “Camera Select” buttons (top row of remote) light up when you press any button on the remote? If not, change the batteries in the remote. Are the camera and remote set to the same IR address? You can use press [*] + [#] + [1] (3 buttons in sequence) on the remote to set the camera to address 1.
