INOGENI

The INOGENI CAM230 is a hardware USB/IP capture and switching device that supports a REST API for automated input switching.

No Username/Password Auth

Voice Tracking does not support username/password authentication with the INOGENI CAM230. Leave the Username and Password fields blank.

INOGENI & IP2USB

The setup for the INOGENI IP2USB is identical to the CAM230, as both devices share the same API and connection method. Follow the same steps below to connect either device.

Step 1: Get the INOGENI Connection Details

  1. Connect the INOGENI CAM230 or IP2USB to your network.
  2. Find its IP address from your network's DHCP table or the INOGENI management interface.
  3. Note the Port (default: 80).

Step 2: Configure the Switcher Connection

In the Voice Tracking configuration menu, click the Switcher tab and enter:

FieldValue
Switcher TypeINOGENI CAM230 or IP2USB
IP AddressIP address of the INOGENI CAM230 or IP2USB
PortCommunication port (default: 80)
Auth TokenAuthentication token if using INOGENI IP2USB

Step 3: Start the Switcher

Click Start Switcher. A success message will confirm the connection is active.

Stopping the Switcher

To disconnect from the switcher at any time:

  • Click Stop Switcher in the Voice Tracking toolbar (the same button used to start it).
  • The switcher connection will close immediately.
  • The microphone connection remains active unless you also click Stop Microphone.

Zone-to-Source Mapping

After the switcher is connected, map each zone to the correct switcher source:

  1. Click a zone header on the zone map.
  2. In addition to the Camera and Preset dropdowns, a Switcher Source field is available.
  3. Select the input/scene number that corresponds to the camera covering that zone.

For multi-camera setups where multiple zones share one camera, assign the same switcher source to each zone within that camera's field of view.

Next Steps

With the switcher connected, return to Zone Configuration to assign switcher sources to each zone.
