Configuring the Tracking System
Phases of the configuration process include:
n
Establishing communication between the cameras
n
Setting up the lanyard shots for both cameras
n
Testing the basic set-up
n
Fine-tuning the system
Most of these phases include several tasks.
You will need:
n
An assistant to wear the lanyard and move around the room as a presenter would do, or a tablet and wi-
fi access so that you can do this while tuning the system.
n
Equipment to view the IP streams from both cameras
n
A stream viewer application such as VideoLAN VLC Media Player – set caching time to 300 ms for best
results when tuning the system.
Before you start, be sure the lanyard is fully charged and the ring glows blue to indicate it is powered up.
Establishing Communication Between the Cameras
This phase of RoboTRAK configuration includes:
n
Accessing the RoboTRAK IR camera's web interface
n
Accessing the video camera's web interface
n
Assigning camera hostnames (optional)
n
Pairing the cameras
Accessing the IR Camera's Web Interface
This product is compatible with the current versions of these web browsers:
n
Chrome®

If the RoboTRAK IR camera has not already been assigned a hostname or IP address, you will need to
know its default hostname. This information is on a label on the camera's base, and should be copied
before the camera is installed on the camera mount.
If the RoboTRAK system is not installed on a network that is capable of hostname resolution, you will need
to assign static IP addresses to both the IR camera and the video camera. See
.
Default IP addresses for the cameras are:
n
IR camera: 169.254.1.2
n
RoboSHOT series video camera: 169.254.1.1
