And a required safety note here:
Note
PoE type networks connected to this equipment are for intra-building use only and should not be
connected to lines that run outside of the building in which this product is located.
Don’t Void Your Warranty!
Caution
This product is for indoor use. Do not install it outdoors or in a humid environment without the appropriate
protective enclosure. Do not allow it to come into contact with any liquid.
Do not install or operate this product if it has been dropped, damaged, or exposed to liquids. If any of
these things happen, return it to Vaddio for safety and functional testing.
Before You Install the Camera
Prepare for a successful installation:
nConsider camera viewing angles, lighting conditions, line-of-sight obstructions, and in-wall
obstructions where the camera is to be mounted.
nEnsure that the camera points away from the ceiling and lights. The camera will not perform well if it is
pointed toward a light source such as a light fixture or window.
nMounting the camera at eye level is best. If this is not feasible, mounting the camera above eye level
typically produces a better experience than mounting it below eye level.
nIf you make cables for this installation, check them for continuity.
nBe sure you can identify all cables correctly.
nTalk to the network administrator. If you install the camera in a non-DHCP network (one that does not
automatically assign IP addresses), you will need to configure the camera with a static IP address as
directed by the network administrator.

Cabling Notes
Use Cat-5e or better cable. Use shielded cabling if the cables will be coiled, run tightly with other cables,
or routed near sources of electromagnetic interference such as power lines or fluorescent light fixtures.
We recommend using high-quality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool.
Caution
Do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors when making cables for this product. Poorly
crimped connectors of this type can cause intermittent connections and degraded signal
quality. They can also damage the connectors on the product, which will void your warranty.
Intact – will make reliable contact
with cable connector
Damaged – Bent contact fingers
will NOT make reliable contact
with cable connector
Pro Tip
Label all cables at both ends.
Basic Connections
The camera receives power and network connectivity from its PoE connection. Connect a computer to
the camera’s USB port for conferencing.
Pre-Installation Functional Check
If you're installing the camera where it's hard to reach, you may want to verify functionality before you
install it.
1. Connect the camera.
2. Connect power. The camera's status light turns white.
3. Connect the camera's USB port to your computer.
4. Verify that you can select the camera as the USB video capture device for conferencing.
If the camera turns on and is available as a USB device, continue with the installation.

Installation Guide for the IntelliSHOT-M Auto-Tracking Camera

Installing the Wall Mount
The camera is shipped with a wall mount, which can be inverted.
You can install the camera wall mount to a display mount or directly to drywall. If you mount it to drywall,
use wall anchors.
The mount can also be installed on a tripod. Use a 1/4-20 hex nut to secure the mount to the 1/4-20
screw on the tripod head. Then tilt the tripod head.
Installing the Camera and Connecting Power
Caution
Check your cables. Connecting a cable to the wrong port or using the wrong pin-out can result in
equipment damage and will void the warranty.
1. Slide the camera into the mount. It should be a tight fit.
2. Connect all required cables to the camera.
3. Secure the cable cover to the mount.
4. Connect the mid-span power injector to mains power.
About Inverted Installation
If you install the camera with the connector panel pointing up, you will need to select the camera's Image
Flip setting when configuring behavior and performance. Image Flip orients the video image correctly.
