Step 1: When you first receive your PTZOptics ZCam Camera, the first thing you should do is download the ZCam manual available at https://ptzoptics.com/downloads. It’s important to note that there are two distinct types of ZCams: NDI and SDI. The PTZOptics ZCam models are also available with multiple different lens types. In this video, we will discuss how to setup the both NDI and SDI ZCams Camera models.

Step 2:  Inside your box you will find your camera, the camera and an included wide angle variable lens if you have the ZCam-VL and the power supply. The 12X and 20X ZCams models include an integrated Zoom lens. The Variable Lens ZCAM-VL can support a variety of C/CS mount type lenses to fit multiple unique use cases.

tep 3: Once you have read your manual, it is time to decide whether you will power your ZCam with an included power supply or ethernet cable connected to a power over ethernet enabled network switch. The PTZOptics ZCams support PoE 802.3af and the same cable used for video and connectivity can be used to power the camera.

Step 4: Once you have selected a method of powering your camera, you can plug it in and the camera will turn on automatically turn on. You will see the power light illuminate once the camera has successfully powered on.


Step 5: You have two options for viewing the video from your ZCam. We can view the video over an IP connection or over the SDI video connection. Let’s plug in your SDI connection first to check that the video is working with your system. To do this, connect the cameras SDI output to an available SDI input. We will use an SDI to USB capture card from Magewell for this example.

Step 6: Once your camera your camera is plugged into the Magewell capture card and your computer, we can open up Open Broadcaster Software and click the plus button in the sources section. We will select the video capture device input and name our input PTZOptics ZCam. This will bring up the cameras video feed. Now we can use the buttons on the back of the ZCam to open up the On Screen Display Menu. Inside the OSD menu you can adjust your exposure settings, color, image, focus, noise reduction and more. We can also view information about the cameras current IP address, Gateway and Netmask settings. Let’s now look at your options for setting up a static or dynamic IP address for your camera.


Step7: To setup a static IP address for your PTZOptics Zcam you will need to download and use our IP address settings available for Windows. The IP Address Settings Tool can be downloaded at ptzoptics.com/downloads. Once you have downloaded this tool, unzip the files and put them onto your computer. You can then launch the application by clicking the upgrade.exe file inside the folder. This tool should automatically find your camera on your network. By default your ZCam will have the IP address of 192.168.100.99. You can right click
your camera showing up with the 192.168.100.99 IP address and choose the dropdown option “Config”. This will allow you to setup a static or dynamic IP Address on your network. We highly suggest setting up a known static IP address on your network. But, you can setup a dynamic IP address with the drop down menu by selecting DHCP if you choose. Let’s configure the IP address and IP gateway. Let’s setup an open IP address on our local area network of 192.168.1.98. Once we click the set button our camera will reboot and turn on with a new IP address. Let’s right click the camera’s new IP address and preview the camera’s video feed by clicking the preview button.
