Preface
Thank you for using the HD Professional Video Conferencing Camera. This manual introduces the function, installation,
and operation of the HD camera. Prior to installation and usage, please read the manual thoroughly. If you have any
questions about the capabilities of the product, call our toll-free number 1-800-486-5276.
Precautions
•This product can only be used in the specified conditions in order to avoid any damage to the unit itself.
•Don’t subject the camera to rain or moisture.
•Don’t remove the cover. Removal of the cover may result in an electric shock. In addition to voiding the warranty.
In case of abnormal operation, submit a ticket at help.ptzoptics.com.
•Never operate outside of the specified operating temperature range, humidity, or with any other power supply
than the one originally provided with the unit.
•Please use a soft dry cloth to clean the unit. If the unit is very dirty, clean it with diluted neutral detergent; do not
use any type of solvents, which may damage the surface.
Warning

USB Control of Camera
To gain control of the PTZOptics camera, you will first need to connect the USB 3.0 cable to the camera and to a PC.
USB 3.0 ports are backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices. USB 2.0 ports are not completely forward compatible with
USB 3.0 devices. Some USB 3.0 devices will connect to USB 2.0 ports with limited bandwidth.
Whenever possible, a USB extension system or USB hub should be avoided. If such equipment is required, ensure the
equipment is fully compatible with USB 3.0. Some USB 3.0 extenders/hubs do not actually have the full 5Gbps bandwidth
requirement per USB port for uncompressed video.
All PTZOptics USB cameras utilize the UVC (USB Video Class) drivers that are built into Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
This driver allows you to stream video out of the camera’s USB 3.0 port and gain camera control in supported software.
When the PC successfully detects the camera, it will show up as a “Camera” within Device Manager (Windows), or USB
3.0 SuperSpeed Bus in System Information (Mac).
If your computer hasn’t been connected to or hasn’t been recognized as a camera, the camera may not be available to
programs that utilize a “Camera”. The camera may be seen as “unknown device”, “Westbridge”, or “CYTFX3” and show
up in the “Universal Serial Bus Controllers” section, rather than the “Camera” section of Device Manager. In this case, try
restarting the computer and reconnecting the camera via USB 3.0.
Once the camera is successfully connected to the computer, simply select the camera from your control software of
choice to begin controlling it. PTZOptics offered a plethora of options to control your camera, including the PTZOptics
Desktop Control App, available in both Mac and Windows operating systems. Visit https://ptzoptics.com/applications/ for
more information.

To utilize an RS-485 connection, you will need an
unterminated two (2) conductor cable.
1. First, connect the positive (red) wire to the camera’s
positive phoenix connector port (left).
2. Then, connect the negative (black) wire to the
camera’s negative phoenix connector port (right).
3. Next, connect the positive and negative wires to the
positive and negative ports on your joystick
controller.
4. To connect multiple cameras, you have the option to
connect via daisy-chain or home run.
5. In either method, multiple wires will be connected to
a single phoenix connector port.
