Step By Step Quick-Connect USB 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. Follow the mounting instructions
included with the camera package.
Step 2:
Set the desired HD Resolution with the rotary selection switch on the camera. NOTE: For best results with USB
2.0 streaming, select video resolution position “0” (720p/59.94). MJPEG is limited to 720p, so starting higher only
adds a layer of scaling. Position “0” also works well with IP streaming...so please try position “0”.
Step: 3:
Follow the sample wiring diagram for connecting the Cat-5 cables to the cameras and Quick-Connect
USB Interface (Diagrams on the page 8, 9 and 10, 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 HD VIDEO cable into the wrong RJ-45 may cause
damage to the camera system and void the warranty. Pay attention to maximum Cat-5
cabling distance per camera type.
Step 5:
Connect the supplied 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 USB. When an image is available, the camera is ready to accept control information
from the IR remote control or RS-232 camera controller, however it is always best to choose and use IR or RS-
232 and not both concurrently. If connected to the Network, the Quick-Connect USB will display the Hardware
(HW) MAC Address and the IP address.
Controlling the Quick-Connect USB:
RS-232 Control:
An API is provided for control of the cameras over RS-232 through the Quick-Connect USB.
The camera RS-232 commands are in the back of this manual).
Telnet Control:
The cameras 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 accessible and easy.
Quick-Connect USB Details
The Quick-Connect USB interface is a Cat-5 camera interface and an IP or USB 2.0 streaming appliance with a
built-in webserver for camera set-up and control. The Quick-Connect USB Interface uses UVC (Universal Video
Class) drivers for USB 2.0 video and does not require the loading of any other drivers to run on the PC. As long
as the operating systems and soft-client software support UVC drivers, no additional software/drivers, other than
the application is required.
