ID Mode

When multiple VC-C4/VC-C4R cameras are connected and installed, all the cameras in range of the wireless controller simultaneously perform the operations specified. In this situation, the cameras can be operated individually by assigning separate ID numbers to each camera beforehand and then specifying the desired ID number from the wireless controller. This is referred to as ID mode operation.

Setting the ID Number

Use the procedure below to assign an ID number (1-9) to each camera (VC-C4/VC-C4R). If you do not want to assign an ID number to a camera, select [0] for that camera. Assigning the same ID number to multiple cameras allows you to control those cameras simultaneously.
