IP Camera/Encoder Channel Viewing (Video Driver)

1. Download the Control4 Wirepath IP Camera/Encoder Video Drivers

The ZIP file contains 2 drivers:

camera_ip_http_wirepath_camera_01

This driver provides Video Only, while it may be used for the WPS-500-PTZ-IP it does not provide any PTZ controls. We recommend that this driver not be used with the WPS-500-PTZ-IP.

Note: This Video Only driver is the same as the drivers released for Wirepath Analog DVR channel streaming, so they may be installed already if you have integrated other Wirepath products with Control4 in the past.

camera_ip_http_wirepath_camera_ptz

This driver provides Video & PTZ Control, while it may be used with the IP Dome, and Bullet, it will show the PTZ controls on the image even though the camera does not have control. We recommend that this driver is used for the WPS-500-PTZIP only.

2. Extract the drivers to Documents>Control4>Drivers. This directory may be different based on the version of Windows used or if it was changed from default by a user.

For IP Cameras or 1-Channel IP Encoders, there is one driver file (Camera 01 or Camera PTZ) that is used to access any one IP Camera/Encoder on the network. If you want to view multiple IP Cameras, simply repeat the instructions below using this same driver each time.

For the 4-Channel IP Encoder, all four drivers (“Camera 01” through “Camera 04”) must be installed and used.

3. Open the latest version of Composer.

4. Connect to Director on Local Network (Controller).

9. Sort the list by name and find the “Wirepath Surveillance Camera 01” driver.

10. Double click to add – the camera will now appear in My Drivers under IP Cameras.

Note: If you are configuring for a 4-Channel IP Encoder, repeat Steps 6 through 10 above for all four numbered Camera drivers.

11. Select a room for the camera.

12. Under My Drivers/IP Cameras, double-click the desired camera driver to add it to the room. Place the camera in the project room where it is physically located for easy identification. Rename all cameras by room to further aid in identification (for example, “Den IP Cam”, “Patio Enc Cam”).
