Lumens CamConnect Pro & Sennheiser TCC2 Zone Mode Setting Guide

Prepare

This document uses Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 as an example of setting.

• Please install Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 microphone, Lumens CamConnect processor, and Lumens PTZ cameras in the same LAN (same class C network).
• For the first installation, you need to prepare a router or Switch with DHCP server function.
• Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 installed in the ceiling above the center of a conference table.

Set up Environment

Please connect Cameras, Microphone, and Al-BOX1 with the same Network Switch.

The network setup involves connecting multiple components via Ethernet to a PoE+ Switch (802.3at). Components include: two Lumens Cameras, a Control System (powered by USB Type-C 5V/4A ?), two Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 microphones, a PC (connected via USB from the switch), and a Display (connected via HDMI from the PC). The switch connects to the LAN. Cable specifications: Ethernet Cat.5e ? or above, HDMI 2.0, USB Type-C to Type-A.

A conference room layout diagram shows a table measuring 8.5m x 5m, with chairs around it. The room dimensions are approximately 10m x 5m. Devices shown include: VC-TR30, Al-Box1, PoE Switch, VC-R31, and a TCC2 microphone. Two microphone zones are indicated: 'Mic 1' and 'Mic 2' placed centrally on the table. Distances are marked: 1.5m from walls to table edges, 10m room length, 5m room width. The diagram also indicates firmware versions: TCC2: 1.8.10, Camconnect Pro: V1.12.4. A legend identifies 'TCC2', 'Seat', 'Lumens Camera', 'Mic 1', and 'Mic 2'.

A 'CamConnect Pro Setting' panel for 'Array Microphone' lists 'Device IP', 'Port' (443), 'Password' ('Lumens@123'), 'Audio Trigger Level (dB)' (-55), and 'Time To Trigger Preset' (1 Sec).

CamConnect Pro Setting tips

Connection TCC2 and Camconnect Pro

1. Array Microphone Numbers: Select based on the installed amount.
2. Select 'Sennheiser TCC2 (Coordinate)', one tab for each microphone.
3. Enter Microphone's IP address.
4. Select trigger time (how long a person should take in a zone for a camera preset to be triggered).
5. Hit Apply [apply].
6. Connect with the toggle button.

Screenshots show the 'Microphone Setting' interface in CamConnect Pro. The 'Array Microphone Numbers' is set to '2'. Two 'Sennheiser: TCC2(Coordinate)' entries are visible. The 'Device IP' is shown as '192.168.5.123'. 'Port' is '45'. 'Audio Trigger Level (dB)' is '-55', and 'Time To Trigger Preset' is '0.5 Sec'. The 'Device & Camera Mapping' section lists zones and allows assignment of 'Primary Camera' and 'Preset No.'. The 'Apply' [apply] and 'Cancel' [cancel] buttons are visible.

Defining Zones

Microphone 1

1. After the microphone is connected, press 'Zone setting' [zone-setting] for drawing the sound picking area.
2. When drawing zones, the red dot indicates the detected voice location. Please draw the zone around the red dot, and click 'Apply' [apply] when finished. Note: The red dot will move, so the four corners of the zone you draw can be adjusted independently. This process may require repeated fine-tuning.
3. Please remember to press 'Apply' [apply] when finished.

Zone' settings, 'Operation' (Clear All, Apply), and 'Voice Source Detect' [voice-source-detect] with coordinates. A grid represents the room, with a red dot indicating voice source and green squares defining zones. 'Zone 1' is highlighted with coordinates (6.5, 2.9) and 'Zone 2' with (4.86, 3.02).

Microphone 2

The same applies for Microphone 2 as shown in Microphone 1; here is the zone for microphone 2.

Microphone 1 & 2 Summary

A summary diagram illustrates the integration of microphones and cameras. On the left, screenshots of the 'Zone Mode' and 'Device & Camera Mapping' interfaces for Microphone 1 and Microphone 2 are shown. Arrows connect these to a central diagram showing a conference room layout. Cameras (VC-TR30, VC-R31) are positioned around the room. The diagram maps 'Zone 1' to 'Preset 1' for VC-R31, 'Zone 4' to 'Preset 1' for VC-TR30, and similarly maps other zones and presets to specific cameras. The legend indicates 'Zone 1', 'Preset 1', etc., associated with camera positions.

Mapping camera and presets for zones

Screenshot of the 'Device & Camera Mapping' interface. 'Mic. Zone' is set to '-1'. 'Zone No.' (1-8) is listed. For each zone, 'Primary Camera' (e.g., VC-R31(192.168.5.117), VC-TR30(192.168.5.120)) and 'Secondary Camera' can be assigned. 'Preset No.' (1-8) and 'Al Setting' (Off/On) are configurable. The 'Apply' [apply] and 'Cancel' [cancel] buttons are at the bottom.

Microphone 1 and 2 confirmation

Orange LED

1. Voice tracking is OFF [voice-tracking-toggle].
2. Orange means zone 6 data is received but no camera or preset is triggered.

Screenshot of the 'Microphone Setting' interface showing 'Voice Tracking' is OFF. The 'Device & Camera Mapping' section shows 'Mic. Zone: 6'. An orange indicator is associated with this zone, signifying data reception without triggering an action.

Green LED

1. Voice tracking is ON [voice-tracking-toggle].
2. Green means trigger time is exceeded, and a camera and preset are called to that Zone location.

Screenshot of the 'Microphone Setting' interface showing 'Voice Tracking' is ON. The 'Device & Camera Mapping' section shows 'Mic. Zone: 1'. A green indicator is associated with this zone, signifying that the trigger time has been met, and the corresponding camera and preset have been activated.
