MatrixCamt
Video Development Kit
User's Guide
Overview
MatrixCam Video Development Kit is a low power, smart 1080p
video streaming device over Wi-Fi®and Ethernet, targeting the
Internet of Things (IoT) market with an open architecture.
To make it an intelligent streaming device, PIR sensor is integrated
to detect movement and to wake up the system to start video
streaming. The system has the additional option for wake up through
Bluetooth®Low Energy (BLE). On wake up, a push notification is
sent to a mobile device alerting the user to view live stream or still
image indicating activity. The product will have different resolution
selection options for video streaming. The product supports
microSDtcard slot and cloud service option for storage and playback
of images/video clips. The camera connects to a cloud service with
support for both video on demand (VOD) and live streaming.
Additionally, user will be able to configure the IoT device using
a GUI or mobile application. To receive the requests from this GUI,
an embedded HTTP server is provided in the IoT device.
The following features will be controlled by the GUI:

Software Instructions
For video streaming, the MatrixCam VDK GUI requires
the VLC multimedia player to be installed:
•Windows System: Install the VLC 32-bit version
(http://www.videolan.org, freeware). Please ensure the
web plug-in Active X is selected during the installation.
When particular browser is opened, a pop-box appears
on screen asking for permission to run the plug-in.
Allow (Enable) the plug-in for enabling the MatrixCam
VDK live streaming.
•MacOs System: Download the mentioned browser
plug-in to embed the VLC player (download the VLC
web plug-in from
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download−macosx.html).
•Linux System: Execute command ‘sudo apt-get install
browser-plugin-vlc’ in terminal of LINUX system. Go
to the MatrixCam VDK GUI (see the steps below in
next section) and enable the VLC web plug-in.
Note: We recommend installing terminal emulator program
for debugging the DaVinciDM368 communication via
serial port (terminal emulator program emulates serial port):
•Windows System: Download and install the Tera Term
software (free of charge).
•Linux System: Install minicom serial communication
program (see APPENDIX installation steps).
•MacOs System: Refer to the following link to install on
Mac: http://pbxbook.com/other/mac−tty.html. Same
procedure to be followed as mentioned for Linux
System.
MatrixCam VDK Start Up
Push and hold the power button for a few seconds to power
it up. LED2 and LED3 flash at this time.
•PIR Interrupt: Making a movement in front of camera
will trigger the PIR sensor and wake up the MatrixCam
VDK (LED2 starts blinking). As soon as motion is
detected, recording will start if a microSD card (Class 6
or above) is inserted.
Note: It is not possible to trigger the PIR sensor till 2 minutes
initialization period after power up.
•BLE Interrupt: First download the BLE application
depending on used Bluetooth supported mobile device:
♦Android mobile device (Motorola Nexus 5, 6 or 7 is
recommended): nRF Master Control Application
(http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nor
dicsemi.android.mcp&hl=en)
♦iOS iPhone®: nRF UART Application
(http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nrf−uart/id61459490
3?mt=8)
♦iOS iPad®: Adafruit Bluefruit LE Connect
Application
Further, enable the Bluetooth of the mobile device. Open
the BLE application and search for OSMU_ICDK name in
the next step. Connect to MatrixCam VDK. The BLE trigger
will happen and this will wake up the board (LED2 starts
blinking). Recording for the specified time interval (by
default 2 minutes) will start while assuming a microSD card
(Class 6 or above) is inserted.
•You can now access the MatrixCam VDK GUI
(see the next section).

Network Settings − Static IP Address
The MatrixCam VDK static IP address is 192.168.1.168
by default. Follow the steps in section “GUI Interface
Initiation” described above to access the GUI using static IP
settings. Default static IP settings can be found in Figure 10.
Network Settings − Steps to Enable DHCP
Follow the procedure below to enable Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for automatic assignment
of the MatrixCam VDK IP address:
1. Start up the MatrixCam VDK and access the GUI
using static IP address.
2. Log in (Username: admin; Password: admin)
3. Go to “Configuration” menu.
4. Press “Network” tab and enable DHCP
(Figure 10).
5. Click on “Apply/Save” tab and click on “OK” to
confirm the action.
6. The MatrixCam VDK will reboot and get DHCP
IP address.
7. Open the GUI using the DHCP IP address.
NOTE: It is assumed a 300 Mbps router (for instance TP-LINK) is
properly configured in DHCP mode (DHCP server) at first.
Connect the MatrixCam VDK with router’s LAN port via
a LAN network cable. Use another LAN network cable for
PC-router LAN connection to check the MatrixCam VDK
DHCP IP address (you can optionally check the
MatrixCam VDK DHCP IP either via router’s interface or
via Windows Explorer in your PC). You can also check the
MatrixCam VDK DHCP IP by connecting USB debug
cable. Open respective terminal based on your OS and
type Login as “root”. Type “ifconfig” on terminal and check
IP address of eth0. This is the new DHCP IP address
assigned to the MatrixCam VDK by router.
Network Settings − Steps to Enable Wi-Fi Streaming
through GUI
Follow the procedure below to enable Wi-Fi streaming
through GUI:
1. Access the GUI interface.
2. Go to “Configuration” menu.
3. Press “Network” tab.
4. Go to “WiFi” tab and enable Wi-Fi.
5. Click on “Search” button.
6. Click on desired ESSID to be connected or
optionally enter the ESSID in the text field.
7. Select the Network Security type as: NONE, WEP
or WPA
8. Enter the desired AP/router password (“Key”).
9. Set the “IP Mode” preferably to “DHCP” mode to
get DHCP Wi-Fi IP address (static Wi-Fi
IP address option is also available).
10. Click on “Apply/Save” tab and click on “OK” to
confirm the action.
11. Wait at least 30 seconds. You will get the Wi-Fi IP
address in the field provided at the webpage. You
will see “Status” field change from “Not
Connected” to “Connected”.
12. Use the Wi-Fi IP address to see the GUI interface.
13. Wi-Fi streaming is enabled (you can now unplug
the MatrixCam VDK LAN network cable).
NOTE: It is assumed your local wireless network is properly
configured using a 300 Mbps router (for instance TP-LINK)
when attempting Wi-Fi streaming through GUI.

Network Settings − Steps for WAN Streaming
through GUI
Follow the steps below to access the GUI interface
remotely (WAN):
1. Access the GUI interface.
2. Go to “Configuration” menu.
3. Press “Network” tab.
4. Select “DHCP/Static IP Settings” depending upon
your router configuration.
5. Go to “Port Settings” tab and enable the check box
for “UPnP Port Forwarding” (WAN), Figure 11.
6. Click on “Apply/Save” tab and “OK” to confirm
the action.
7. Go to your router configuration page.
8. Get the Public IP WAN address for the router
(establish WAN network connection before).
9. Now user can access the board/live video from
anywhere using that router Public IP WAN
address, followed by RTSP port (RTSP port
default is 8551).
Example: Let us consider user’s router Public IP WAN
address is 180.59.64.34. Client can then access the
MatrixCam VDK by typing 180.59.64.34:8551 to
web-browser (it is assumed client’s device is connected to
the same WAN network).
NOTE: It is assumed your LAN and WAN network is properly
configured using a 300 Mbps router (for instance TP-LINK)
when attempting WAN streaming through GUI.
