Network Configuration

Network Connection
(Network connection is a little difficult for new users, if you can't get success, please email us: ivan@fomako.net , we will email you more detail video or PDF instructions)

Direct connection: Connect the camera and computer by network connecting cable.
Internet connection mode: Connect the camera to Internet by Router or Switcher and user can login the device by browser web page.

Note: Please do not put the power cable and network cable in places where can be easily touched, to prevent video unstable signal transmission due to poor contact of cables.

Add network segment method

The computer must have the network segment where the camera IP address belongs to. The device will not be accessible if without the segment.
The camera default IP address is 192.168.5.163, segment 5 must be added in the computer.
Firstly open the window of Local Area Connection Properties on computer, select the “Internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4)”. Double click or click the property “Internet” protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) to enter into the Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) Properties window; select “Advanced” to enter into the Advanced TCP/IP Setting and add IP and subnet mask. Click the “Confirm” to finish the adding of IP segment. User can add the corresponding network segment according to the revised IP address of the camera.
Note: The IP address to be added cannot be same with that of other computers or devices. The existence of this IP address needs to be verified before adding.
To verify whether the network segment has been successfully added, click the “Start” and select “Operation” to input cmd, then click CONFIRM and open DOS command window, ping 192.168.5.26 and press Enter key to display information as shown below:

After camera power on and self-check, follow the steps above to verify network connection. Open DOS command window, ping 192.168.5.163 and press Enter key.

Streaming

Video Stream Capture

Configurations -> Video Configure-> Video Encode
Configure the parameters according to the network environment.
Note: stream name live/av0 (live/ XXX)
For example: The default IP address of the camera is 192.168.5.163. The way to obtain the RTSP video stream is as below rtsp://192.168.5.163:554/live/av0（av0 main stream） rtsp://192.168.5.163:554/live/av1 （av1 sub stream）
The default IP address of the camera is 192.168.5.163. the way to obtain RTMP video stream is as below rtmp://192.168.5.163:1935/live/av0（av0 main stream） rtmp://192.168.5.163:1935/live/av1（av1 sub stream）
Configurations > Network Configure> SRT
Configure the parameters according to the network environment; the default IP address of the camera is 192.168.5.163, and the way to obtain the SRT video stream is as follows: srt://192.168.5.163:9000

Push Video Stream

Configurations -> Video Configure-> Stream Publish

Push RTMP stream to public network server, the stream camera IP must be on the public network, otherwise it will fail to connect to server.
Host address: server address, which can be either a domain name or an IP address
Host port: server default port number
Stream name: live/test (live/ XXX) Username and password: the username and password set by the server, or leave it empty
Access url：rtmp://host domain name: host port/live/xxx Or (rtmp: //host IP address: host port/live/xxx)

NDI Configuration (for NDI camera only)
Configurations -> Video Configure-> NDI

Click the NDI enable switch and restart the camera to use the NDI function.

Software Upgrading

Log in to the web page and manage camera settings. The default page is preview interface, where users cam PTZ control, record video, preset camera positions and etc.
Configurations -> System Configure-> Update
Click "browse" to select .mrg update file, then click upgrade button to finish software upgrading.
Camera reboot after completion of firmware update. It prompts with "successful upgrade". Log in to check the firmware version to make sure software upgrade successful. Then click "restore factory default", reboot and restore parameters to factory default (default IP 192.168.5.163, user name: admin; password admin).

Serial Port Communication and Control

The camera could be controlled through RS232/RS485/RS422 interface; RS232 serial parameter are as follows:
Baud rate: 2400/4800/9600/115200 bits / sec; Start bit: 1; data bits: 8; Stop bit: 1; Parity: None. After power on, the camera first goes left, then back to the middle position. Self-test is finished after the zoom moved to the farthest and then back to the nearest position. If the camera saved 0 preset before, it will be back to that position after initialization. At this point, the user can control the camera by the serial commands.

FoMAKO PTZ Camera with AI Auto Tracking HDMI Setup Guide

To set up the FoMAKO PTZ Camera, follow these steps:

Mount the camera on a tripod or wall mount.
Connect the camera to a power source using the included power adapter or PoE+ switch.
Connect the camera to a monitor or TV using an HDMI cable.
Connect the camera to a network using an Ethernet cable (if using PoE+).
Turn on the camera and use the remote control to adjust the settings.
Use the AI auto-tracking feature to track and follow moving objects.

Maintenance

Camera Maintenance

Please power off the camera and disconnect the power adapter and socket if it’s not used for a long period.
Use a soft cloth or tissue to clean the camera cover.
Wipe the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth when cleaning. If needed, gently wipe with a mild detergent. Avoid using strong or corrosive detergents to prevent scratching the lens and affecting video quality.

Troubleshooting

No Video Output
- Check if the camera power supply is connected, the voltage is normal, and the power indicator is lit.
- Verify if the machine performs a self-check after restarting.
- Ensure the DIP switch at the bottom is set to the normal operating mode (refer to Table 2.2 and Table 2.3).
- Check if the video output cable or video display is functioning correctly.
No Image Sometimes
- Verify if the video output cable or video display is normal.
Video Dithering When Zooming In or Out
- Check if the camera installation position is stable.
- Ensure there are no shaking machines or objects around the camera.
Remote Control Not Working
- Set the remote control address to 1 (if the machine is reset to factory defaults, the remote control address must also be reset to 1).
- Check if the battery is installed or if it is low.
- Ensure the menu is closed; camera control through the remote controller is only available after exiting the menu. If video output is from LAN, the menu will not be displayed and will automatically exit 30 seconds later, allowing remote control.
Serial Port Not Working
- Verify the camera serial device protocol, baud rate, and address are consistent.
- Check if the control cable is connected properly.
- Ensure the camera is in the normal operating mode.
Cannot Log In to Web Pages
- Check if the camera outputs video normally by connecting directly to a screen.
- Ensure the network cable is connected properly (Ethernet port yellow light flashes to indicate a normal network cable connection).
- Check if your computer is added to the same network segment and is consistent with the camera’s IP address.
- Open a DOS command window by clicking "Start", selecting "Run", and typing "cmd"; then enter ping 192.168.5.163 and press Enter. A response indicates a normal network connection.
Zoom/Skype and Other Software Can't Recognize the Camera from PC via USB Connection
- Most conference software only recognizes USB cameras. The USB port on this camera is only for recording and storing video. To use this camera as a USB camera, you need an SDI/HDMI to USB video capture card to convert the SDI/HDMI signal to a USB signal (HDMI to USB capture card is recommended for cost-effectiveness).
Can't Transmit Audio
- Log in to the camera's webpage -> Configuration -> Audio Configure -> Enable, then reboot the camera. You can also adjust audio settings here.
Other Unknown Problems
- Please email us at ivan@fomako.net for assistance with any issues.

Example: Streaming to Facebook

Connect the camera to the network and adjust it according to your network environment. You can choose DHCP or set your own IP address and DNS.
Create an event on Facebook and obtain the "stream key" and "server URL."
Fill these parameters into the "host address" and "stream name" of the camera, and change the port to 443.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Advanced AI auto-tracking technology
HDMI output
1080p resolution and 30x optical zoom
Wide pan/tilt range
Supports PoE+
Built-in microphone and IP66 weatherproof rating
Compatible with multiple control systems

Cons

Higher price point compared to some other PTZ cameras.
Needs a stable network connection for optimal performance.
