A Quick Look at the Camera
This section covers the physical features of the camera.
Front of the Camera
The camera is available in black or white.
Camera and zoom lens – Up to 30x zoom.
Integrated microphone – No external microphone needed in typical installations. Echo-canceling
microphone picks up the voices of participants up to 10 ft. (3 m) away.
Status lights – The illuminated trim detail on the camera's face indicates the camera's current state. The
status lights can be turned off in the administrative web interface.
Pivoting head – Manually tilt the head as needed.
Note
By default, the camera's status lights are active during normal operation; however, they can be
configured to remain off when the camera is powered up. The camera may be sending video even if the
lights are off.

mid-span PoE+ power injector. Provides power and network access for IP streaming and camera control
via web interface or Telnet.
USB 3.0 – USBType B connector. Connect to a computer for use with soft conferencing applications.
Provides uncompressed USB 3.0 stream.
HDMI output – HDMI video and audio output connector.
IP button – Press to display the camera's IP address on video outputs.
Audio input – Line level balanced audio for an external microphone or other audio source.
Audio output – Line level balanced audio output to amplified speaker or other audio infrastructure.

Installation
This section covers:
nSelecting the location for the camera
nVerifying that the camera is ready to install
nInstalling the mount
nConnection diagrams
nMounting the camera
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.
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

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 in its minimum functional configuration.
2. Connect power. The camera's status light turns white. If an HDMI display is connected, video is
available.
3. If not using an HDMI display:Connect the camera's USB port to your computer, then open a media
player and verify that you can select the camera as the USB video capture device. These screen
shots show how to access a camera's USB stream using VLC Media Player. In this example, the
capture device is a different camera.
If the camera turns on and sends video, continue with the installation.
Getting the Camera's IP Address
You will need the camera's IP address if you do not use the Vaddio Device Controller or Vaddio
Deployment Tool to access its web interface.
Briefly press the IP button on the connector panel. This displays the camera's IP address and MAC
address on the video outputs. Press the button again to dismiss the information.
Installation Guide for the IntelliSHOT Auto-Tracking Camera

If the Camera Is At 169.254.1.1
This is the camera's default IP address. This means one of these things:
nThe camera's PoE+ power injector is not connected to the network,
OR
nThe network does not automatically assign IP addresses.
If the camera does not receive an IP address when connected to the network, you will need to configure
the camera for the network after you have done the initial device set-up.
To communicate directly with the camera for initial device set-up and network configuration, you will need
to connect a cable from your computer's network port to the DATA IN port on the PoE+ power injector.
Status Lights
The lights in the camera's head indicate its current state.
nPurple – Initializing
nWhite – Active
nRed – Audio is muted
nBlinking red – Video is muted
nYellow – Firmware update is in progress
nBlinking cyan – Remote pairing mode
nBlinking blue – Pairing error
Caution
Do not remove power or reset the camera while the status lights are yellow, showing a firmware update in
progress. Interrupting a firmware update can make the camera unusable.
Note
By default, the camera's status lights are active during normal operation; however, they can be
configured to remain off when the camera is powered up. The camera may be sending video even if the
lights are off.
Installing the Wall Mount
The camera is shipped with a wall mount. Other mounting options are available as well. Contact us if you
don’t have the camera mount you need.
You can install the camera wall mount to a display mount or directly to the drywall. If you mount it to
drywall, use wall anchors.

Basic Connections
Here is an example of how the camera might be set up in a medium-size conference room. In this setup,
a PC uses a unified communications conferencing application to manage the camera and connected
microphones and speaker.
Pro Tip
Label all cables at both ends.
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. Connect all required cables to the camera.
2. Slide the camera into the mount.
3. Secure the cable cover to the mount.
4. Connect the mid-span power injector to mains power.
About Inverted Installation
If you use an inverted mount, you will need to select the camera's Image Flip setting when configuring
behavior and performance. Image Flip orients the video image correctly and sets the camera to respond
appropriately to tilt commands.
