Chapter 2: Connecting External Equipment (Optional)
Connecting a Logitech Webcam
Connect webcams to BCM2 in order to view videos or snapshots of the
webcam's surrounding area.
The following USB Video Class (UVC) compliant webcam is supported:
• Logitech
®
Webcam
®
Pro 9000, Model 960-000048
Other UVC-compliant webcams may also work. However, Raritan has
neither tested them nor claimed that they will work properly.
Tip: You can easily find a list of UVC-compliant webcams on the Internet.
The BCM2 supports up to two webcams. After connecting a webcam, you
can retrieve visual information from anywhere through the BCM2 web
interface. If your webcam supports audio, audio is available with videos.
For more information on the Logitech webcam, see the user
documentation accompanying it.
To connect a webcam:
1. Connect the webcam to the USB-A port on the BCM2 device. The
BCM2 automatically detects the webcam.
2. Position the webcam properly.
Important: If a USB hub is used to connect the webcam, make sure it
is a "powered" hub.
Snapshots or videos captured by the webcam are immediately displayed
in the BCM2 web interface after the connection is complete. See
Configuring Webcams and Viewing Live Images
(on page 333).
