Typical Applications

Room PC

USB-A to USB-C
HDMI
Display
Camera

The camera supports three modes:

1. Boot mode: At power on, the camera is in Boot mode. When there’s no UVC signal transmission and no HDMI display is connected with HDMI OUT port of the camera in 10s after starting up, the camera will enter idle mode. When the UVC channel is opened up, or the HDMI OUT is connected to the TV in 10s after starting up, the camera will enter active mode.
2. Idle mode: In this mode, insert USB cable, or press any button of the IR remote, the camera will enter Init mode, and open up the UVC channel, the camera will enter active mode.
3. Active mode: Turn off the UVC channel in this mode, the camera will enter Init mode, and in 10s, if there’s no UVC signal transmission and no HDMI display is connected with HDMI OUT port, the camera will enter idle mode.

Note: The camera supports receive commands from UVC channel through AI mode, IR remote, web UI or other third-party apps such as zoom.If an external cascade speakerphone is connected, the cascade device only transmits audio. In this case, the MIC and SPK of this cascade device can be displayed in the UC App’s menu and remain in working state, regardless of whether the current VL-PTZ100P is active.Good system design and engineering practices lead to PoE+ being highly recommended. However, if prior equipment or budget dictate using a PoE switch, please test and verify that the switch’s PoE capability will work with VL-PTZ100P.

IR Remote Control

The camera supports IR remote control. Point the provided IR remote to the IR window on front panel of the camera.

Button Description

Tracking Mode Introduction

• Off: Users can adjust the focal length to zoom in or out of the scene by pressing the navigation buttons. To pan the camera view up, down, left, or right, press the respective arrow buttons on the remote panel.
