Before adding an i-PRO (Panasonic) camera to your client account, you must complete
pre-installation steps such as validating that your camera model and firmware version are
supported by Stratocast™, opening the default ports, and obtaining the MAC
address of your camera.
Before you begin
This procedure assumes that you already have
access to a Stratocast™ integrator account.What you should know
You must log into the camera's web page to
configure the connection to Stratocast™. Doing so
requires the IP address of the camera (the URL to access the camera is the local IP address,
simply paste it into the browser address bar).Procedure
-
Ensure that the video unit is Supported by Stratocast™ and
that it is running the recommended firmware version for your device.
-
Get the camera's MAC address, which is usually printed on a label located on the bottom
of the camera.
If you cannot find the MAC address, contact the camera manufacturer.
-
Power on the camera, connect it to your network, and wait until it is online.
-
Get the URL of the camera's web page and the user credentials to log in as the camera
administrator.
-
Open the following outbound ports:
- Port 80, 443
- Stratocast™ camera enrollment service
(es.stratocast.com)
- Ports 22000
- Device load balancer
- Ports 22001 - 22050
- Upload camera video stream to Stratocast™
-
Best Practice: Use the Panasonic EasySetup
discovery tool to identify your camera's IP address.
The utility scans the local network and lists the IP address of any cameras it finds.
-
Using the IP address found in the Easy Setup discovery tool, log into the camera's web
page by pasting the IP address for your camera into your browser address bar.
-
The first time that you connect to the camera you must set an administrator
password.
Tip: Make a note of the password so that you do not lose access to the
camera in the future.
