VADDIO ZOOMSHOT 30 999-6930-101 (01) PDF SUMMARY:

What are some important safeguards for operating the ZoomSHOT 30?

Read and understand all instructions before use. 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.


Why should the instructions be saved?

The information contained in the manual will help you install and operate your product. If these instructions are misplaced, these documents can be downloaded from http://www.vaddio.com free of charge.


What is the recommended power supply?

Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized or DC extended power supplies will void any and all warranties.


Why shouldn’t “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors be used?

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 use and connection to Vaddio product.

How do I set up the ZoomSHOT 30 camera for the first time?

The ZoomSHOT 30 was designed to be very easy to use and operate. Before installing the camera:

  • Choose the 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 bunch of fluorescent lighting cells. Cameras generally don’t like to be swamped with fluorescent light and very few people sit on the ceiling anyway.
  • The Thin Profile Wall Mount for the ZoomSHOT 30 can be mounted directly to a 1-gang wall box or can be mounted using the two (2) provided spiral drywall 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 30 to the Quick-Connect Interface or AV Bridge MATRIX PRO. The EZ-POWER VIDEO jack on the camera is color-coded as a reminder that there is 24 VDC power on that Cat-5 cable.

What are the step-by-step instructions for installing the ZoomSHOT 30 system?

Step 1: After determining the optimum location of the camera; route, mark and test the two Cat-5 cables from the camera to the Quick-Connect Interface or AV Bridge MATRIX PRO located at the table or rack. The two Cat-5 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 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.

  1. HD Video Select: A rotary switch allows the user to choose the HD output video resolution and format. After setting or changing the resolution, reboot the camera to ensure proper operation. If an unassigned rotary selection position is chosen (9, A, B, C or D), the camera will not output video. Simply set the rotary switch to an assigned position to output video.

Step: 3: Follow the sample wiring diagram for connecting the Cat-5 cables to the ZoomSHOT 30 that come in the Quick-Start Guide that ships with your camera, 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 of RJ-45.

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 may help the overall dressing of the mount and cables.

Step 5: For Vaddio Quick-Connects, connect the 24 VDC, 2.08 Amp power supply to a power outlet and to the Quick-Connect Interface. Power will travel down the Power/Video Cat-5 cable to the camera. The camera’s LED will be purple while it boots, and in a few seconds, it will turn blue and 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 remote control or RS-232 camera controller.


What do I do when the Quick-Connect USB is done powering up?

When the Quick-Connect USB is done powering up, it will display the Hardware (HW) MAC Address and the IP address on the front LCD screen.

What do I do for the AVBMP?

For the AVBMP, connect the 24 VDC, 3.75 Amp power supply to a power output and to the AV Bridge MATRIX PRO. The AV Bridge MATRIX PRO will initialize, power will travel down the Power/Video Cat-5 cable to the camera. The camera’s LED will be purple while it boots, and in a few seconds, it will turn blue and differential HD video will travel back down the Cat-5 cable to the AV Bridge MATRIX PRO. When an image is available, the camera is ready to accept control information from either the IR remote control or the AV Bridge MATRIX PRO.

The static IP can be assigned either through the network or directly with a computer using a network cable (depending on the age of the computer, you may need a cross-over network cable). Either way the steps are the same for network or direct connection to a computer. The default address of the QUSB 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 QUSB are accessible.


What is the Quick-Connect USB Web Pages Tour?

The QUSB web interface 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 administrator can set the password for the user account (whose Username will be ‘user’) from the admin interface. If no user password is assigned, the web page will automatically open to the Camera Control page.
