Introduction
The BZBGEAR BG-ADAMO-4KND is an ultra-high-definition PTZ camera that delivers 4K
resolution video at 60fps Available with either the 12x optical zoom lens with an 80.4°
wide-angle, or the 25x optical zoom lens with a 59° wide-angle. Featuring USB 2.0, USB
3.0, LAN, HDMI, and 12G-SDI video connections. The 3D noise reduction technology
combined with the low-noise CMOS sensor ensures impeccable image clarity. The
innovative auto-tracking software is intuitively designed for ease-of-use with two modes
(presenter and zone) for exceptional results.The BG-ADAMO-4KND features the latest in
NDI® technology: NDI®|HX3. With improved image quality and lower latency,
Features
●4K UHD Resolution: The SONY CMOS sensor captures images in resolutions up to
3840x1260 with a frame rate of up to 60fps.
●Interfaces / Multiple Simultaneous Streaming Outputs: With a variety of outputs
such as HDMI 2.0, 12G-SDI, USB3.0, USB 2.0, and LAN (NDI), the ADAMO can
simultaneously broadcast multiple streams to multiple outputs.
●Optical Zoom Lens: The ADAMO features either a 12X optical zoom 80.4°wide-angle
lens or 25X optical zoom 59°wide-angle lens.
●Multiple Audio/Video Compression Standards: H.264/H.265 video compression is
supported by the LAN (NDI) interface, USB 3.0 supports YUY2, and USB 2.0 supports
MJPG, H.264, YUY2, NV12, H.265. USB 3.0 supports YUY2. The A-IN supports AAC
audio compression coding.
●Advanced Auto Focusing Algorithm: The lens promptly snaps into focus with
dependable accuracy and stability.
●Low Noise and High SNR: A high SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) image is achieved using
low noise CMOS sensors. The sophisticated 2D and 3D noise reduction technology
further reduces the noise while ensuring high image clarity, even in low light.
●Supported Network Protocol:NDI|HX3, ONVIF, GB/T28181, RTSP, RTMP.
●Control Options: RS232, RS485, LAN (NDI), or IR remote control. Protocols include
VISCA, PELCO-P/D, ONVIF, and VISCA over IP.
●Multiple Presets: Configure up to 255 presents using the Web GUI, or 10 presents via
the IR remote control.
●Two Mode Auto-Tracking Software: Presenter mode continuously tracks keeping the
subject perfectly framed. Zone mode holds the frame in predetermined zones. The
camera tracks and moves only when the subject has left one zone and entered the next,
then holds the frame in the new zone.

Connection Mode
●Direct Connection: Connect the camera directly to the computer using an ethernet cable.
●Internet Connection: Connect the camera and computer to a router or switch and access
via the local area network (LAN).
Note: Ensure power and network connections are secured to prevent video issues caused
by poor connection quality.
The computer must be on the same subnet as the camera to connect successfully. The device will
not be accessible otherwise. The camera’s default IP address is 192.168.5.163, therefore the
computer must be connected to the 192.168.5.x subnet.
●To connect to the camera, open the Local Area Connection Properties on the computer.
●For Windows 10/11 users in the Start menu type/search for “View Network Connections”
●Right-click on your connection and select “Status".
Then click “Details…” Take note of your current IPv4 Address and Default Gateway as you
