O VERVIEW :
The Vaddio ZoomSHOT 20 QUSB camera system produces amazing
results for small, medium and large room applications. Anywhere that
a Point-of-View or stationary camera can be used alone or in
conjunction with a Vaddio PTZ camera, to simplify camera coverage
and preset positioning, the ZoomSHOT 20 is the answer.
Essentially, the ZoomSHOT 20 camera is a low cost pan/tilt/zoom
camera, where the pan and tilt are adjusted manually. However,
unlike fixed-lens stationary cameras, the ZoomSHOT 20 is equipped
with a 20X optical power zoom lens that produces a horizontal field of
view ranging from 63º on the wide end to 3.47º on the tele end in a HD
16:9 format.
ZoomSHOT 20 was designed from the ground up and uses the Vaddio
EZCamera™ Cat-5 wiring standard for video, power and control. The
ZoomSHOT 20 supports a wide range of HD video resolutions that are
selectable on the rear panel up to the native 1080p/60resolution. This
camera can deliver HD video signals, power and control up to 150’
(45.72m) on Cat-5 cable.
This system features the totally robust Quick-Connect USB Interface,
which was designed to have multi-format digital and analog video
outputs, be compatible with all existing Cat-5/5e/6 Vaddio cameras
and includes USB 2.0 and IP streaming outputs with a built-in web
server for IP control. The QC-USB Interface provides outputs for the
ZoomSHOT 20 camera including; HDMI, YPbPr, USB Video (UVC
standards-MJPEG) and H.264 IP Video (RTSP & HLS).
The QC-USB’s 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. Analog and HDMI video outputs are included and output the
same video resolution that is sent from the camera simultaneously.
Choose between three (3) IR frequencies for the
Vaddio IR SHOT Commander to allow multiple
camerasto belocally IRcontrolledwithasingle remote
control. And like all Vaddio camera packages, the thin
profile wall mount is included.
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. Outdoor operation or use of a different power supply has not been
tested and could damage the device and/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.
Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized power
supply will void any and all warranties.
Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not work well for
professional installations and can be the cause of intermittent connections which can result in the RS-232
control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS (high speed differential) signals. For best
results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper pin-outs prior to connection to
V
addio
p
roduct.

The ZoomSHOT 20 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
camera and the Quick-Connect USB Interface.
Before Installing the Camera:
Choose the ZoomSHOT 20 camera 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 nobody sits on the ceiling anyway.
The Thin Profile Wall Mount for the ZoomSHOT 20 can be mounted 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 ZoomSHOT 20 to the Quick-Connect USB
Interface. The EZ-POWER VIDEO and RS-232 jacks are color coded for convenience.

Step By Step ZoomSHOT 20 QUSB System Installation Instructions:
Step 1: After determining the optimum location of the camera; route, mark and test
the two (2) 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 (2) 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 Page5 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 ZoomSHOT 20 Camera:
Set the desired HD Resolution with the rotary selection switch. If changing the resolution, always reboot
the camera to ensure proper operation.
Note: Use 720p/59.94 (position “0”) for best results for streaming USB 2.0 (MJPEG) or IP Video (H.264)
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).
Step: 3: Follow the sample wiring diagram for connecting the Cat-5 cables to the ZoomSHOT 20 and Quick-
Connect USB Interface (Diagram on the Page 8, 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 RJ-45s.
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.
HINT: A small piece of black fabric or felt attached to the back of the mount (wall-side) with a small slit to allow
cables through, or dressing the wall opening drywall edge with black tape to mask the white gypsum wall board
may help the overall dressing of the mount and cables.
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 EZ-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
Shot Commander remote control or RS-232 camera controller. If connected to the Network, the Quick-Connect
USB will display the Hardware (HW) MAC Address and the IP addresses.
Controlling the ZoomSHOT 20:
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.

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 altogether typical.

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 HD-USB are
accessible
.
Quick-Connect USB Web Pages Tour:
Screen Shot: Login
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:
Username is blank
(assigned by admin)
Password is: password
Admin name is: admin
Password is: password

Screen Shot: Admin Menu - USB 2.0 or IP Streaming Mode Page
1) Streaming Mode: Streaming can be set for either USB 2.0 streaming (MJPEG) or IP streaming (H.264); but not both at
the same time. The QC-USB can stream USB and accept IP control, or it can IP stream with IP control. Choose the
streaming mode here.
2) USB Device Name: Allows the user to use a “friendly name” per system. In a BYOD format, the user has the ability to
move between different UC conference rooms and have the ability to assign the PC’s USB resources to that room.
3) Color Space: The UVC drivers will negotiate the color depth, but this parameter allows the user to reduce the color depth
to 4:2:0, which is used with the older/cheaper webcams and applications, where image quality is not as critical. The 4:2:2
color is used by many applications that take advantage of the performance of the camera where the colors are more vibrant
and precise.
4) IP Streaming Settings: The Video Settings allow the selection of the target performance for the IP Streaming. The QC-
USB is set up for a variable bit rate and the user can select the video resolution and the quality, such as High Quality (Best),
Standard Quality (Better) and Low Bandwidth (Good). Every effort to eliminate stupefyingly bad combinations with the 5 or
6 parameters that make up the image size, quality, bit rate, bandwidth etc… has been made, so you can’t pick 1080p at a
bit rate of 128Kbps, which would look totally wicked awful - and probably wouldn’t work anyway.
5) Streaming Protocol and URL: Admin chooses the streaming type and the port number for RTSP. The HLS port is always
on 80. The supported protocols are RTSP and HLS (Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming). RTSP is best for live applications,
where HLS serves the Apple iOS devices and is better for playback due to the amount of buffering the HLS has built-in. The
Streaming URL auto populates and that path can be changed.
When finished setting up the streaming parameters click Save to put the changes into effect or cancel, which will not save
the configuration.
