Web Interface
The camera provides a web interface to allow control via an Ethernet network connection, using a browser. The
web interface gives the user more control over the camera than the IR remote offers.
The web interface allows user-level camera control and password-protected administrative access to tasks such
as setting passwords, changing the IP address, viewing diagnostics, and installing firmware updates.
Compatible Web Browsers
Supported web browsers:
nChrome®(latest version),
nFirefox®(latest version),
nMicrosoft®Internet Explorer®(versions 8 through 11)
nSafari®(versions 6 and 7)
nMicrosoft®Edge
Other browsers may also work.

User Access
By default, the web interface opens to the Camera Controls page without requiring a login. If the administrator
has changed the guest access setting, you will need to log in.
If you start at a login page, contact your system administrator for the login information.
If you are not logged in using the admin account, the Admin button on the Camera Controls page opens the
admin login dialog. The default admin password is password. The admin has access to all pages of the web
interface.

Administrative Access
If you are on the Camera Control screen and no other screens are available, you’re logged in at the user level, or
guest access is enabled and you’re not logged in at all. Use the Admin button to open the login dialog.
When you log in as Admin, all the admin navigation buttons appear on the left side of the screen. In addition to
Camera Controls, you also have access to:
nCamera Settings – Additional control over camera behavior related to camera movement and color man-
agement.
nStreaming – USB device settings and IP (H.264) streaming.

that are not available from the remote:

Stop or Resume Sending Video
Use the Mute button to temporarily stop video from the camera without placing it in standby - for example,
when you need to confer privately with another person in the room. Remember that the mute button does not
mute the room's microphones. In video mute mode, the camera transmits blue or black video, with a message
that the video is muted.
Manage the Camera Ready State
Use the Standby button to switch between low-power (standby) and ready states.
In standby mode, the button is red and the screen presents the message “Device is in standby.” On entering
standby mode, the camera pans 90° from center and 30° downward. Ceiling-mounted cameras also point
downward in standby mode; this keeps dust from collecting on the lens.

Move the Camera
Use the arrow buttons for camera pan and tilt.The center button moves the camera to the home position.
Zoom In or Out
Use the Zoom + button to zoom in and the Zoom - button to zoom out.
Move the Camera to a Preset Position
Use the numbered Preset buttons to move the camera to any of its programmed positions. If you select a preset
that has not yet been programmed, nothing happens.
