The Luxonis OAK (RVC2) PoE are intelligent cameras used by Moverse Capture. Typical variants used are wide-angle ones, but narrower field-of-view variants also exist. Options for either monocular (OAK-1) or stereo and infrared (OAK-D) exist.

Hardware Deployment & Networking

1

Cabling & Power

Each OAK (RVC2) PoE unit needs to be connected to a dedicated Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af / PoE+ 802.3at) switch port using certified shielded Cat6 or Cat6a cabling.
2

Network Subnet Configuration

The host capture workstation network interface card (NIC) must be in the same local IP subnet as the cameras. Verify that local firewall profiles permit UDP/TCP broadcast traffic for automatic camera discovery.
3

Automatic Discovery

Once the Moverse Capture Studio spawns, it will automatically detect the cameras and populate the Devices list.

​
Diagnostic Troubleshooting

  • PoE Budget Exhaustion: Verify that the network switch supplies active 802.3af/at power on the specific port and that aggregate array draw does not exceed the switch power supply ceiling.
  • Cable Integrity: Test the run with a certified Ethernet cable tester. Passive PoE injectors or non-compliant pinouts will fail to initiate the hardware handshake.
  • Subnet Mismatch: Ensure the host workstation adapter and camera nodes reside in the identical IPv4 address range (e.g., 192.168.1.xxx with a 255.255.255.0 mask).
  • Broadcast Filtering: Verify that network firewalls or managed switch VLAN configurations are not dropping multicast discovery packets.
  • Power Cycle: Disconnect the Ethernet cable, wait 10 seconds to fully discharge internal capacitors, and reconnect to re-trigger DHCP or link-local address assignment.
  • Process Handles: Close and relaunch Moverse Hub and Moverse Capture Studio to clear stale camera socket handles.
  • Switch Backplane Saturation: Confirm the network switch backplane throughput can handle concurrent continuous video feeds across all active nodes. If bandwidth contention occurs, reduce the Bandwidth Allocation slider in Moverse Hub.
  • Flow Control: Enable flow control on all switch ports.
  • Jumbo Frames / MTU: Set the maximum transmission unit (or Jumbo Frame) to the max value (typically 9000).
  • Dedicated Topology: Isolate the camera network array from secondary high-traffic office or internet data feeds to eliminate packet collisions.
  • Anti-Flicker Setting: Match the Anti-Flicker Frequency in Moverse Hub (50Hz vs. 60Hz) to the electrical grid frequency of your powerline.
  • Illumination Levels: Ensure sufficient volume illumination to prevent high sensor gain amplification, which introduces high-ISO image noise.
