O VERVIEW :
The Vaddio WideSHOT HD camera wide angle, manual lens camera
produces astounding results for small and huddle room applications
where the distance between the camera and the subject is limited. The
WideSHOT camera was designed as a low cost, high value, manual
pan/tilt/zoom camera with a super wide-angle lens that can be set to
provide the best image possible in a small environment. To that end,
the WideSHOT camera sports a lens with 82.2° wide horizontal field of
view with a user adjustable iris, focus and varifocal zoom of
approximately 3X (3.3mm to 10.5mm). With the 3X optical zoom
capability, even the “big” small rooms can be covered too.
The WideSHOT HD was designed from the ground up and is equipped
with the Vaddio EZCamera™ Cat-5 wiring standard for video, power and
control. Using HSDS™ (high speed differential) video outputs over Cat-
5 cable, the WideSHOT supplies a wide range of video resolutions that
are selectable from the rear panel; from 480p/59.94-YPbPr up to and
including 1080p/60. The HSDS processing allows delivery of the
WideSHOT HD video signals up to 150’ (45.72m).
This system features the exciting and robust Quick-Connect USB
Interface, which was designed to have multi-format digital and analog
video outputs, to be compatible with all existing and forthcoming Vaddio
cameras and include USB 2.0 or IPstreaming outputs with a built-in web
server for IP control. The outputs include; HDMI, YPbPr, USB Video
(UVC standards-MJPEG) and H.264 IP Video (RTSP & HLS). The
embedded webserver provides for browser-based access to camera
controls, camera presets and basic CCU functions (color and shading
controls) as well as the video configuration web pages.
Choose between three (3) IR frequencies for the Vaddio IR SHOT
Commander to allow multiple cameras to be locally IR controlled with a
single remote control. And like all Vaddio camera packages, the thin
profile wall mount is included and it’s made in the USA.
Intended Use:
Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built, and tested
for use indoors with the power supply provided. The use of a power supply other than the one provided, or outdoor
operation hasn’t been tested and may damage the device or create a potentially unsafe operating condition.
Important Safeguards:
Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged.
In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions.
Save These Instructions:
The information contained in this manual will help you install and operate your product. If these instructions are misplaced,
these documents can be downloaded from www.vaddio.com free of charge.

Setting the WideSHOT Lens
Image: WideSHOT Focus Knob Removal
You may ask, “Why would anyone want to remove the focus knob?” The answer is directly correlated with the
quality of this wide-angle HD lens. It is not a plastic “webcam”, but instead it is an exceptional quality glass lens,
rated up to 3-megapixel with a 3.3mm to 10.5mm precision varifocal optical zoom lens with manual iris, focus and
zoom controls.
Image: Adjusting the HD Varifocal Optical Zoom Lens
After removing the focus knob screw and carefully sliding off the “snug” focus knob, the lens controls are exposed
and available for adjustment. The controls are as follows:
1) The Optical Zoom Control: By carefully untightening the knurled screw a half turn on the innermost ring,
adjust the ring to either the wide (W) or tele (T) direction. The focus ring, now without knurledadjustment screw
(screw taken out to remove the focus knob) will need to be adjusted as the zoom is changed. Experiment with
the zoom range to fit the application. A full 82.2° may be too wide in some cases and tailoring the zoom to 65°
to 70° may fit the room better. After setting the control, tighten the knurled screw.
2) The Manual Iris Control: After setting the zoom range and focusing on the subject’s at the distance that the
camera will be used, the iris can be adjusted to limit the amount of light that the image sensor receives, which
in turn gives an increased depth of field for focusing on the people in front of the camera. The “O” stands for
open and the “C” stands for closed. Experiment with the iris to achieve the best results for the application.
After setting the control, tighten the knurled screw.
3) The Focus Control: The outermost ring is the focus control and can be adjusted to the near (N) or far (F)
side. Set the focus ring to the approximate position and reattach the focus knob with the knurled screw when
finished. Fine tune the focus for the final shot.

The WideSHOT was designed to be very easy to use and operate. There is
documentation at the back of this manual for pin-outs for the connectors on the
WideSHOT camera and the Quick-Connect USB interface.
Before Installing the Camera:
Choose the WideSHOT’s mounting location while paying close attention to
camera viewing angles, lighting conditions, possible line of site obstructions and
checking for in-wall obstructions where the camera is to be mounted. Always
pick a mounting location that will optimize the performance of the camera.
Please locate the camera to enable easy positioning of the camera body with
the ability to point down and away from the ceiling and a pile of fluorescent
lighting cells. Cameras generally don’t like to be swamped with fluorescent light
and few people sit on the ceiling anyway.
The Thin Profile Wall Mount for the WideSHOT can bemounted directly to a 1-gang wall box or can be mounted
using two (2) provided spiral dry wall anchors.
For Power/Video and RS-232 signals, use standard Cat-5 cable (568B termination and real RJ-45 connectors)
from the EZ-POWER VIDEO and RS-232 ports on the back of the WideSHOT to the Quick-Connect USB
Interface.

Step By Step WideSHOT QUSB Installation Instructions:
Step 1: After determining the optimum location of the camera; route, mark and test
the two Cat-5 cables from the camera to the Quick-Connect USB Interface located at
the head-end. The two Cat-5e cables should feed-through the hole located on the rear
flange of the Thin Profile Wall Mount. If the bracket is to be mounted on a 1-gang wall
box, use the screws supplied with the wall box cover plate to attach the Thin Profile
Wall Mount. If mounting to the drywall with wall anchors, use two quality wall anchors.
The mount provides for easy leveling. Pull the Cat-5 cables though the wall and feed
the cables through the back of the mount. Level the mount and tighten the mounting
screws.
Step 2:
Using the HD VIDEO SELECT rotary switch and CAMERA SETTINGS dip switches on the back of the camera, set
up the camera’s output resolution and functional preferences. There are tables on Page 6 that identify the choices…
keep these tables handy for future use…or you can easily look them up on the Vaddio website (vaddio.com) when
needed.
Setting the WideSHOT Camera:
Set the desired HD Resolution with the rotary selection switch. If changing the resolution, always reboot the
camera to ensure proper operation.
Note: For best results Streaming USB 2.0 (MJPEG) or IP Video (H.264), use 720p/59.94 (position “0”)
Set the IR frequency (1, 2 or 3) of the camera (if it is to respond to the IR remote control).
Set the desired image orientation (normal or flipped).
Set up the lens according to the directions on Page 6.
Step: 3: Follow the sample wiring diagram for connecting the Cat-5 cables to the WideSHOT and Quick-Connect
USB Interface (Diagram on pages 9, 10 & 11, but read and understand the rest of these instructions especially the
next note).
NOTE: Check all Cat-5 cables for continuity in advance of the final connection. Label the
Cat-5 cables. Plugging the EZ-POWER VIDEO cable into the wrong RJ-45 may cause
damage to the camera system and void the warranty. For premise cabling, please use real
RJ-45 connectors and crimpers. Please don’t use the pull through or EZ type of RJ-45.
Step 4: Place the camera onto the camera mount and use the provided ¼”-20 screws to secure the camera to the
mount. To dress the cabling, push the extra cable back into the wall opening. Position and focus the camera.
Step 5: Connect the Vaddio 24 VDC, 2.0 Amp power supply to a power outlet and to the Quick-Connect USB
Interface. The Quick-Connect USB will initialize, power will travel down the Power/Video Cat. 5 cable to the camera.
The camera will boot up and in a few seconds, differential HD video will travel back down the Cat-5 cable to the
Quick-Connect. When an image is available, the camera is ready to accept control information from the IR remote
control or RS-232 camera controller. The Quick-Connect USB will display the Hardware (HW) MAC Address and
the IP address.
To ensure proper continuity of control and operation of the cameras, the RS-232 controller (control
system or joystick) should be powered on after the camera.
Controlling the WideSHOT: (this package)
IR Remote: The IR Shot Commander Remote control can control the camera’s basic functions and enter the OSD
(on-screen display) for more advanced controls.
RS-232 Control: An API is provided for control of the camera over RS-232 (commands in the back of manual).
Telnet Control: The camera can be controlled through the Quick-Connect USB via Telnet session. These exciting
commands are listed at the back of the manual.
Built-in Webserver Control: The Quick-Connect USB has a built-in webserver that auto-loads the control
protocols of the Vaddio camera attached (pretty cool huh?). Full camera controls including CCU image controls
are available from any approved browser on any computer. The IP address is always displayed on the front panel
display of the Quick-Connect so access to the internal webpages is super easy.

F RAMING THE W IDE SHOT’ S V IDEO S HOT
When framing the shot with a WideSHOT Camera, consider and review the following elements:
The area should be well lit and without reflective surfaces. For wall surfaces, use a flat paint or wall coverings
to minimize audio reflections. Use neutral colors, for example; pale grey, pale blue or beige that are easy for
any camera to process.
Avoid white and black or a stark contrast color pallet, avoid placing a big old white board in the background,
and avoid complex décor in view of the camera (modern art like stuff). Avoid glass, chrome, mirrors, and glass
on table tops to minimize the lighting and audio reflections.
Always avoid having a window in the camera shot as sunlight can be very disruptive of camera performance.
Window treatments are a must for rooms with windows to achieve evenly lit space without direct sunlight.
Never position the camera so that any ceiling lights are in the video frame. No one sits anywhere near the
ceiling and direct lighting in the frame can be problematic for the automatic functions of the camera.
The bottom line is simple, give the camera a chance to work well in the room and excellent video is the result.
There are many room set up primers available on today’s internet for reference.

The WideSHOT HD camera set to
the full wide end of 82.2°, in this
example, is too wide for this room
and will not render any real detail
such as facial expressions and other
mannerisms of the meeting
participants.
The WideSHOT can be zoomed into
a tighter shot (58°or tighter - rose
viewing angle) allowing all the
subjects in this room to be seen on
camera while still providing the
details needed for effective visual
communications.
Please see “Setting the WideSHOT
Lens” section on page 6.
The WideSHOT HD camera set to the full wide
end of 82.2° is an excellent choice for small
(huddle) conferencing rooms that range from 8’
(2.44m) to 12’ (3.66m) in width x depth.
In this example, the table front is 4’ (1.22m) away
from the camera and the WideSHOT can easily
capture all of the meeting participants from this
distance
The WideSHOT can be manually zoomed into a
tighter shot for a conference room with fewer
participants as well.

Compatible with USB 2.0 UVC Drivers
The USB 2.0 UVC (Universal Video Class) video driver resolution table is an internal list of resolutions available
for the Host PC and the Quick-Connect USB to negotiate and use for any approved/tested USB application.
Typically, the highest resolution possible between both the PC and Quick-Connect USB is used. However, not all
OS and application combinations are all together typical.

I NTERNAL W EB P AGES AND C ONTROL
The internal web pages will allow control of the Quick-Connect USB and control of the attached camera via a
network connection. These web pages will allow the user or administrator to set security passwords, change the
IP address, view diagnostics, access the firmware upgrade page and more!
DHCP IP Set-up (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP Set-up (skip this section if Static IP). If the LAN has a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server, then the IP address,
gateway and routing information will automatically be assigned. The QC-USB software is defaulted to DHCP and will attempt to dynamically
obtain an IP address using DHCP, but it will fall back to the default address of 169.254.1.1 if no DHCP server can be found.
Static IP Set-up:
The static IP can be assigned either through the network or directly with a computer using a cross-over cable. Depending on the age of the
computer, you may not need a cross-over cable. Either way the steps are the same for network or direct connection to a computer. The default
address of the QC-USB camera is 169.254.1.1 and the Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Different computer OS types all have their own way of
doing things (without question), but they are essentially doing the same stuff, changing the IP address so the web pages of the QC-USB are
accessible
.
Quick-Connect USB Web Pages Tour:
Screen Shots
The QC-USB web server is intended as a user’s camera control page at one level, and an administrator’s
management tool at another level, which requires password authentication for access.
The Login Page will appear if there is a username assigned by the administrator. Assigning a username can limit
access to the admin menus by a general user. By default, the username is blank and the password for the User
account is: password. The Administrator can set the name and password for the User account. If no username is
assigned, the web page will automatically open to the Camera Control page.
Defaults:
User name is blank
(assigned by admin)
Password is: password
Admin name is: admin
Password is: password

Screen Shot: Camera Control Page - No Camera Detected
The No Camera Detected window will appear if the Quick-Connect USB has no communication with the camera.
Check the camera power and serial connections if no camera is found within 30 seconds of initialization. The Quick-
Connect USB controls the camera over the serial connection.
Screen Shot: User Menu - Camera Control Page
1) CCU Scenes - Custom A, Custom B and Custom C
There are 3 preset memory locations for scenes configured and stored on the Camera Settings Menu Tab (see
page 20) on the WideSHOT CCU Scenes, under Color Settings. The Admin has control to set up the scenes and
the User can recall these presets by clicking on Custom A, B or C.
2) Preset Lighting Scenes
Six preconfigured lighting presets were set by the technical folks at Vaddio (really…Scott set all the presets) that
are meant to be used in certain lighting conditions or scenarios. These lighting presets include; Automatic,
Incandescent Hi, Incandescent Lo, Fluorescent Hi, Fluorescent Lo and Outdoor (character limitations are why the
names are spelled so gnarly). Set this control to the best setting for the room where the camera is used.
