Overview
1Beyond intelligent video technology brings an essential video conferencing solution into the
Crestron® ecosystem. Enabling the best video experience for both in-room and remote attendees
is vital to hybrid work and ensuring productive and effective collaboration. Technologies like
speaker tracking, group framing, and presenter tracking ensure that every person can be seen,
no matter where they are, and provide the best view for the remote attendees.
The IV-CAMHK-12-SLVR-1B is a participant tracking solution that uses two HD PTZ cameras to
automatically cut to a new participant. Ideal for small to medium sized rooms, deploy the
IV-CAMHK-12-SLVR-1B when a close-up view of the meeting participants is desired.

Installation
Use the following procedures to install the Hawk IV-CAMHK-12-SLVR-1B camera.
NOTES: Observe the following points.
lCarefully lift the camera out of its packaging by holding it from the base. Holding it by
the PTZ camera assemblies may cause damage to sensitive mechanical parts.
lDo not remove the rubber lens caps until the camera is mounted to avoid scratching
the lenses.
lOnly use the power supply included with this product to power it as non-specified
products may cause damage to the unit.
lDo not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature and humidity limits.
Operating range of the camera is between 32°F - 104°F (0°C -40°C). Ambient
humidity should be less than 95%RH.
lDo not remove any screws from the camera. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Contact Crestron's True Blue Support Team if the camera is damaged or
malfunctioning.
lDo not aim the camera lens at the sun or extremely bright lights. Doing so can cause
damage to the image sensor.
lDo not move the camera head manually. Doing so can cause damage to the camera
and inner gear systems. Do not carry the camera by the head; always handle the
camera by the base.
lDo not directly expose the camera to rain, water, or high moisture.
lThis camera is for indoor use only.

15 • IV-CAMHK-12-SLVR-1B Product Manual — Doc. 9311A
Mounting
Install the camera using the included 2-point shelf mount to ensure optimum stability. Since both
PTZs are moving frequently, a mount with a center-only connection to the camera can cause
undesirable shaking.
For the best possible tracking performance, observe the following mounting requirements.
lCenter the camera horizontally, facing the meeting participants.
lMount the camera at a height between 4ft (1m) and 6ft (2m). If the camera is mounted
lower than 4ft (1m) or higher than 6ft (2m) facial detection and shot quality may be
affected.
lThe camera detects faces at a distance up to 28ft (9m). In rooms where people are
further away from the camera, satisfactory operation cannot be guaranteed.
To mount the camera:
1. Following diameter and position of the four installation holes on the bracket, drill four
holes in the wall.
2. Use four of the included anchors and mounting screws to attach the bracket to the wall.
3. Use the two tripod-style screws to affix the camera to the bracket.

Product Manual — Doc. 9311A IV-CAMHK-12-SLVR-1B • 16
Positioning
The camera is able to detect faces at a distance of up to 28ft (9m). In rooms where people are
further away from the camera, satisfactory operation cannot be guaranteed.

17 • IV-CAMHK-12-SLVR-1B Product Manual — Doc. 9311A
Wiring
Connect the camera to power using the included 12VDC power supply. If cabling needs to be
extended to reach the camera, utilize a longer IEC power cord
Network Connection
The camera must be connected to a network for initial configuration. Once configured, the
camera does not need be connected to a network. A consistent network connection is
recommended in case any configuration adjustments are performed later.
Video Output
To connect the camera to a conferencing codec or capture device, an HDMI or SDI connection is
required. SDI is recommended for longer cable runs of over 50ft (15m). USB converters are
available for both HDMI and SDI if the camera is to be connected to a computer or codec via
USB.
Reference Audio
An echo cancellation signal is required for the camera to work correctly in video conferencing
applications. Refer to Echo Cancellation on page24.

Product Manual — Doc. 9311A IV-CAMHK-12-SLVR-1B • 18
Configuration
A one-time configuration is required to tailor the tracking parameters to your environment. Once
configured, the camera will work autonomously, and the software will not be required for
operation.
