Instructions on Software Installation and Tracking Settings
System Requirements
- Operating System: Windows 7 32 bits/64 bits or higher
● Windows XP is not supported
●MAC OS is not supported - CPU: Intel i3 or higher level processor
- Memory: 4G RAM or above
- Min Hard Drive Space: 1GB or above
Connecting Camera to Network
Two common connection methods are shown below:
- Connecting via switch or router
- To connect directly through network cable, the IP address of the computer should be changed so that it is on the same network segment as the camera E.g.: The factory-preset default IP address of VC-TR1 is 192.168.100.100. The computer IP address must be set with the same network segment, such as 192.168.100.101, so that the computer can be connected correctly with the camera
● Change network settings
Connect LumensCMS Software with VC-TR1
- Please download the software from [Support] > [Download] page on Lumens official website
- Open the LumensCMS software, and add in the camera
◾ Automatically add it in– First, turn on the camera. After opening the LumensCMS software, VC-TR1 will be automatically added to the list for about 5 – 7 seconds. Double-click the camera to display the screen
◾ Manually add it in- Open the Device Manager page
➢ Search Device:
❶[Refresh]>❷Click the camera> ❸[Add to Device Manager] ,❹ Enter the camera password (Default is 9999)
➢ Go back to ❺ [Live View] page. Double-click the camera added to the list to display the screen
- Set Tracking Parameters
1. Presenter Frame
Operate the PTZ to set the tracking screen. This setting determines the magnification and the vertical angle of the PTZ during tracking
※ Recommendation: The face shall be in the yellow auxiliary frame. After straightening the arms, the best distance between the left and right sides and the frame is to accommodate at most 2 people
<Remark> Presenter Frame is same with the setting of Preset 1. You can also set up from the remote control
2. Stage Frame
Operate the PTZ to set the stage screen. This setting switches to the Stage Frame screen automatically when the camera loses the tracking target
<Remark> Stage Frame is same with the setting of Preset 0. You can also set up from the remote control
3. [Settings]> [Tracking Area]
Click
, drag the mouse to customize the tracking area (green frame) When the target appears in the tracking area, the VC-TR1 will start the tracking.
※ Recommendation: When setting the tracking area, you have to make sure there is only one tracking target moving in this area. Excluding the probability of non-tracking targets appearing in this area is required
◾ Everywhere Tracking:
After being checked, the target will still be tracked automatically if it is outside the green tracking area frame
◾ Blocked Area(1-8):
Draw the Blocked Area, the Blocked Area can block the motion detection (but not the face detection).
4.Click
to start tracking
, drag the mouse to customize the tracking area (green frame) When the target appears in the tracking area, the VC-TR1 will start the tracking.

Troubleshooting
This chapter describes problems you may encounter while using VC-TR1 and LumensCMS software. If you have questions, please refer to related chapters and follow all the suggested solutions. If the problem still occurred, please contact your distributor or the service center.
No. | Problems | Solutions |
| 1. | After enabling tracking, the target size does not meet expectations | You can adjust the setting by Presenter Frame. Set the scale size by the designated position, and zoom to the desired scale |
| 2. | When stopping tracking, can the screen stay at the designated position? | By Stage Frame function, you can set the desired position to stay as the position for stopping tracking |
| 3. | How to activate and stop the tracking function? | It can be activated and stopped via [Start]/[Stop] in the CMS software. In addition, F1/F2 on the remote control can be used to activate and stop the function |
|
4. | How to make the camera direct to a designated position instead of tracking the presenter (target) during tracking? | You can set by Partition Tracking This function is to set the customized area. When the tracking target appears in the specific position, the camera will automatically direct to the preconfigured Preset position |
|
5. | After using the mask frame function, why does the camera still tracking the target when it appears in the mask frame? | The mask frame will only turn off moving object detection, not face detection. When TR1 already detects the target tracking face, even the target enters the mask area, TR1 will keep tracking the target until the target leaves the tracking area |
| 6. | Turn on/off Expert Mode | Expert Mode is to show the identifier fame after enabling tracking. It helps users to know the current detection precision and if there is any on-site tracking issue caused by environment interference (Blue/red one is the face detection fame, and green one is the object detection frame) |
| 7. | How to change the default path of recording and snapshots? | Access the LumensCMS main screen and click the tool icon (LumensCMS Configuration) to change the recording path  |
| 8. | LumensCMS cannot connect to VC-TR1 |
