I NTERNAL W EB P AGES AND C ONTROL :
The internal web pages will allow control of the HD-USB and allow the user to control the
camera via an internet connection. These web pages will allow the user or administrator to
set security passwords, change the IP address if not dynamic, view diagnostics, access the
firmware upgrade page and more.
To access the HD-USB’s web pages, first talk to your Network Administrator about the network on which the
camera will be placed. Access to the internal web pages can be achieved three ways in order to set-up the HD-
USB’s IP address and other administrative functions.
DHCP Set-up (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol):
DHCP Set-up (skip this section if Static IP).
If the LAN has a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server,
then the IP address, gateway and routing information will
automatically be assigned. The HD-USB software is defaulted to
DHCP.
The HD-USB will attempt to dynamically obtain an IP address using
DHCP, but it will fall back to the default address of 169.254.1.1 if no
DHCP server can be found.
To display the HD-USB’s IP Address:
1) Plug in the camera and let it go through the boot up procedure.
The IP Address will be displayed at the top and middle of the
screen for 15 seconds and then automatically turns off.
To see the IP address for longer than 15 seconds at boot up:
2) Pick up the Vaddio IR Remote Commander and locate the Data Screen button.
3) Press and hold the Data Screen button on the remote for 4 seconds.
4) The IP Address will appear on the display. The system is capable of
displaying and address up to 15 characters arranged in the format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. The default static IP address for the HD-USB camera is
169.254.1.1.
5) To turn off the IP Address display, press and hold the Data Screen button
for 4 more seconds or until the IP Address turns off.
Displaying the IP address for the network administrator is advantageous especially in
a network that is DHCP. It makes it easier to find the camera on the network and
assign addresses permanently within the DHCP protocol. Whatever protocols are
used, always have the network guys available when attaching the Vaddio HD-USB
camera to the network.
Notes:
The Data screen button is also used for the Camera’s on-screen display
where many of the camera’s parameters can be set. It is easy to tell the
difference between these modes as one quick touch enters the OSD for
the camera and a “four (4) second press and hold” displays the web
address and turns off the web address display.
The IP Address will be displayed on screen out of the composite video,
analog component video (YPbPr) and the USB output. It will display at the
top, middle of the screen to ensure that ancient 4:3 displays can show the
address as well as the prevalent 16:9 monitors.
