INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The camera should be stand mounted, and
make sure the full-view camera is pointing
directly to the blackboard. The available
installation zone of the classroom is shown in
the picture:
Camera should be installed in the right ahead
of the platform with distance 5~15 meters.
The height from the camera to floor is 2~3
meters.
Suggested height from the camera to floor is
2.4 meters, suggested distance from the
camera to the platform is 8 meters, and the
installation position should be close to the
central axis to get the best tracking result.
The camera has 2 installation types: wall and
pendant mount.
Attention
Before installing, make sure there
is enough space to install the
camera and its parts.
Make sure the installed place is
strong and safe enough to hold the
camera and relative parts, it is
suggested that the installed place
can withstand 4 times the weight of
the camera and its relative parts.
Wall Mount Installation
1. According to diameter and position of the
4 installation holes (As shown below) on
the bracket, drill 4 holes on the wall and fix
the bracket onto the wall by using 4
screws which should be prepared by
yourself.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Parameters Setting
Setting Process
Preset 0: It is a position that can be configured
to have the camera move to once tracked
object gets lost, recommended to set at full
view image. See basic parameter settings for
details.
Preset 1: Preset 1 is the position where tracking
starts, preferred to be set at Podium; to
configure it, move the camera’s Pan/Tilt/Zoom
to put the lecturer in the appropriate size and
position in the image, then set it as preset 1.
In some other cases, the preset 1 is also
useful: after camera finishes calibration, it will
sit at preset 1; once tracking object gets lost,
the camera can be configured to move to
preset 1; when the camera starts auto
zooming, its zooming times is also based on
preset 1’s zooming times.
Connect camera to your computer’s serial
ports with RS232 or RS485 cables, Double
click on iSmartTCS.exe, enter the main menu,
choose the relative communication port, then
click the button CONNECT. If the connection
is successful, the version information will
appear, and the button PARAMETER will be
available.

MAIN MENU
PTZ & MENU
MENU: Click MENU to enter menu, refer to
menu settings to change the tracking
camera's parameters. Click MENU again to
exit menu.
Note: The parameters in the menu have been
adjusted to have the best tracking
performance when leaving factory, for general
user, there is no need to change the
parameters.
White Balance
White balance mode, two options: Auto WB,
one push WB.
Auto WB: The camera can automatically
adjust white balance (WB) according to the
alteration of background lightness to give a
true color image. Auto WB can be used for
general use.
One push WB: When the color of the video is
obviously incorrect, you can enable one push
trigger WB for color correction.
Operation of One push WB :
1. Have a person hold a A4 white paper, make
sure the paper is pointing directly to the
tracking camera.
2. Adjust the camera’s Pan / Tilt / Zoom until
the paper is able to cover the whole image
without finger or other objects.
3. Choose one push WB option, after waiting
for ten seconds when the image has been
adjusted, move away the paper.
SYSTEM SET

Zone set
Recommended to set the platform or podium
as priority zone, the camera will detect object
from this zone to start tracking accordingly.
Set other interference sources (like projector,
digital whiteboard, TV screen and etc) near
the platform or podium as blocking zones so
the camera will not track these sources. The
blocking zones must be inside the priority
zone, otherwise, there will be problem in
blocking.
Prio Track Zone
The camera’s tracking range can cover the
whole classroom, so the platform zone is
defined as a priority tracking zone.
Usually set the top edge of the blackboard as
the top boundary of the platform zone (at least
higher than the lecturer's head), and the
bottom boundary is higher than the students'
head.
Prio Track Zone: Press PRIO TRACK ZONE,
There will be a mouse point appears on the
full view image on the left of the split-screen,
move the mouse to choose the platform zone
displayed in red rectangle, then “OK” and
“CANCEL” will appear in the lower right corner,
press “OK” to confirm the setting, press
“CANCEL” to cancel the setting and go back
to the previous setting. As shown in the
picture below:
Blocking Zones
Blocking zones: There are 8 blocking zones
shown in green rectangle, they can be
configured independently. Refer to Prio Track
Zone setting for operation.

Object Lost Act
Object Lost Act: used to define the action to
be performed if the camera loses the tracked
object for a period of time. And the timeout
before object lost act will be performed is
adjustable in advanced param setpage.
Tracking Set
Auto Zoom: When in auto zoom mode, the
camera can adjust zoom in or out during
tracking based on lecturer’s moving close or
away from the camera, otherwise, zooming
times is always the same as preset 1’s
zooming times.
Tilt Motion: When in tilt motion mode, the
camera can adjust tilt degree during tracking
based on lecturer’s height in the image.
otherwise, the tilt degree is always the same
as preset 1’s tilt degree.
If the lecturer will not go down the platform,
turn off auto zoom and tilt motion.
Basic Set
This menu is used to change video format,
device address and etc.
