Installation
Use the following procedures to install the Falcon IV-CAMFL-N-W-1B camera.
NOTES: Observe the following points.
lCheck the source power before powering on the camera. The Falcon can be powered
via a 9W PoE switch or with 12VDC. Under or overpowering the camera will cause
damage and poor performance that may not be immediately visible. If using a PoE
switch, be sure the port is properly configured for 9W. If using DC power and
connecting to a network switch, be sure the port is not set for PoE.
lDo not power the camera with PoE and a power supply at the same time. Doing so
may cause it to malfunction.
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 directly expose the camera to rain, water, or high moisture.
lThis camera is for indoor use only.

Mounting
For the best possible tracking performance, observe the following mounting requirements.
lMount the camera with a clear view of the area where the subject will be tracked.
lThe camera should be mounted 15-25ft (5-8m)from the subject and at a height of 7-12ft
(2-4m).
lThe camera lens must be able to see the entire area that the subject will be tracked in as it
is used by the tracking algorithm for motion and facial detection.
lPositioning the camera where the camera lens covers predominately the ceiling results in
suboptimal tracking performance. If the room slants down, position the camera at a slant
as well.
lMount the camera as close as possible to the central axis of the area where the subject will
be tracked. This is commonly the center of the back wall.
Use the included wall mount to install the camera.

14 • IV-CAMFL-N-W-1B Product Manual — Doc. 9321A
1. Use the mounting template to drill four holes in the wall.
2. Use the four included mounting screws and anchors to attach the bracket to the wall.
3. Use the two tripod-style screws to affix the camera to the bracket.
4. Tilt the camera no more than 30° forward to ensure optimum pan and tilt accuracy. Use
the included Allen key to make adjustments to the tilt function of the bracket.

Product Manual — Doc. 9321A IV-CAMFL-N-W-1B • 15
Wiring
Properly wire the camera with power, video, and control. Ethernet supports NDI®|HX and PoE.
The audio input of the camera only feeds into the encoded IP stream. It is recommended to
record/stream audio using a separate device.
Network Connection
A network connection enables easy configuration, control from any PC connected to the same
network, and access to the camera’s IP video streams for monitoring. Use a CAT5 or CAT6 cable
to connect the camera to the network or directly to the host computer used for configuration.
The camera is shipped with a static IP address. The network connection can also be used for
control VISCA commands over TCP/IP.
lDefault IP address: 192.168.18.77
lSubnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
If an Ethernet cable is connected directly to a computer running the 1BeyondCameraManager
software, the computer’s network port must be set to an address on the same subnet (for
example, 192.168.18.77) in order to communicate with the camera.
When configuring multiple cameras, connect them to the network individually and assign them
each a unique IP address that conforms to your overall IP scheme.
PoE Power
With PoE compatibility, the camera allows control, monitoring, and power input using a single
Ethernet cable. To power the camera from your network switch, make sure that it is a PoE

16 • IV-CAMFL-N-W-1B Product Manual — Doc. 9321A
certified switch that can supply 9 W of power for each connected camera. Alternatively, a PoE
injector can be used to inject power between the switch and camera.
DC Power
Power the camera using 12VDC or PoE, but not simultaneously. The camera cannot operate
properly with less than 12VDC power. Since voltage drops over distance, the supplied 12V 1A
power adapter is not sufficient if the power source is greater than 10ft (3m) from the camera.
WARNING: Providing too little or too much power can damage the camera. For PoE, make
sure the network port is configured for 9 W. For DC power, be sure to supply 12V to the
camera.

Product Manual — Doc. 9321A IV-CAMFL-N-W-1B • 17
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.

Configuration via the
1BeyondCameraManager
The 1BeyondCameraManager software is the central hub for configuring, monitoring, and
controlling 1Beyond IP cameras. It allows monitoring of up to four video streams simultaneously
and lets you configure the latest 1Beyond cameras.
Add to Camera List
Once 1BeyondCameraManager is installed on the host computer and the camera is connected
to the network or directly via Ethernet, launch the software to start configuring the camera. Use
the Device Management tab of the software to add the camera to the Camera List.
1. Click Start Search to start scanning the network for 1Beyond cameras. The camera
appears with its IP address, MAC Address, camera name (for example,Falcon and serial
number), and firmware version displayed.

Product Manual — Doc. 9321A IV-CAMFL-N-W-1B • 19
2. To change the camera’s network settings to match your network’s IP scheme, click Modify
netinfo which will bring up the network settings panel.
3. Under Network information, confirm that the ConnType (Connection Type) is correct for
how the camera is connected. It can be set to either Static IP or DHCP.
By default, the camera ships with the static IP address 192.168.18.77 and a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 .
If the Ethernet cable is connected directly to the computer running the
1BeyondCameraManager software, the computer’s network port will need to be set to
an address on the same subnet (for example,192.168.18.78) in order to communicate with
the camera.
If the camera is connected to a network switch, the camera’s IP address needs to be
changed to DHCP or to a static address within the same subnet as the computer running
the software.
If the installation requires a different static address (for example,The IP address of the
camera needs to be modified to match the subnet of the computer), enter the IP, Mask
and Gateway info and then click Modify.
4. After modifying the IP address, click Refresh to update the camera list.
5. Select the camera and click Add to Camera List. This brings up the Add panel where you
can verify that the camera’s network settings are correct. By default, 1Beyond cameras do
not require any administrator credentials to be controlled. Once added, the camera will
appear in your camera list.
The camera should show as connected in both the Close-Up and Panorama columns,
signifying that 1BeyondCameraManager is able to receive both IP video streams from
the camera.
6. If the status reads Connection Failed or Disconnect , double-check the IP address of the
camera and the computer to be sure they are on the same subnet so the two can
communicate via IP.
Access Video Feeds
Proceed to the Main View tab to monitor the video feeds and begin setting up the tracking
parameters. In the Camera List, right-click on the camera name and select Close Up and
Panorama to add the streams the multi view area. The tracking shot and the full-room view
appear side-by-side.

Tracking Settings
Now that the camera is connected and streaming video to the host computer, click Stop in the
lower left corner to stop tracking and to enable settings.
To access the camera’s tracking properties, click Settings. The tracking settings panel opens and
shows a full view of the room with the Tracking Zone shown as a green rectangle.
Set the Tracking Zone
Requirements:
lSet the Tracking Zone to contain the entire area where a presenter will move around.
Draw the Tracking Zone so it fills a presenter's head and torso.
lLeave room on the left and right of the zones to allow the presenter to leave the zone and
another presenter to enter.
lIf the front row of audience seats covers some of the presentation area, don’t include it in
the Tracking Zone. Instead, draw it so that at least the torso and/or head of the presenter
will be the only moving subjects in the Tracking Zone.
NOTE: The camera does not auto-save settings. Make sure to save frequently during the
setup process.
To draw a Tracking Zone:
1. Click Tracking (Lecturer) in the lower half of the settings panel. The cursor will move into
the video frame.
2. While holding down the left mouse button, drag the mouse to draw the tracking zone.
3. Let go of the left mouse button to release the cursor from the video frame.
4. Once the Tracking Zone is set, click Save to store the setting in the camera’s memory.
Set the Blocking Zone
Set Blocking Zones within the Tracking Zone to prevent projection screens, windows, or moving
objects from triggering the camera’s motion detection. Up to 8 blocking zones can be configured.
Guidelines:
lBlocking zones should cover the entire display or projection screen that falls within the
tracking zone.
lSet the Blocking Zone so it does not block an entire section of the tracking zone, as this
could potentially cause the camera to lose the presenter if they remain in the blocked area
for too long.
lThere should be space left in the Tracking Zone below the Blocking Zone so that motion
can be tracked as the person walks in front of the display or window you are blocking.
To set up a Blocking Zone, click on one of the check boxes in the Blocking Zone area of the
settings pane and draw the zone in your desired spot within the tracking zone. This process is
identical to setting up the Tracking Zone.
