OAK4 Getting Started
This document will guide you through the process of setting up your OAK4 device. OAK4 cameras feature both USB-C and PoE interfaces for power and communication.To get started quickly, we've made a video on how to get started with camera connected through PoE+:The same process as in the video is described below in more detail.1
Powering
OAK4 cameras consume up to 25W of power (peaks) and require PoE+ (802.3at, 30W) injector/switch for power (eg. TL-SG1008P). After being powered and booted, status light should turn solid blue, indicating that the device is ready.
PoE+ & Internet
Normal PoE (802.3af, 15W) injector/switch won't be able to provide enough power. We recommend having the switch connected to the internet to get the best experience.

OAK Viewer
OAK Viewer is a desktop GUI application that allows you to visualize the camera's streams and interact with the device. It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Ubuntu 24.04 / 22.04 (x86)More details can be found on the OAK Viewer Documentation page.

(Optional) Connect to Hub
If you want to connect the camera to Luxonis Hub and explore the ecosystem, first set OAK4 camera to Setup Mode by pressing the button at the back for 5 seconds. The blue light should start blinking.Then connect the device to Luxonis Hub by visiting hub.luxonis.com. After you've signed in, click the

Pressing and holding the rear button for 5 seconds enters Setup Mode, which erases all configurations and data on the device, since the device password can be changed in this mode.
Add Device button in Connect Your First Device section and then follow the instructions.4

Factory Reset & Troubleshooting
Factory reset warning
This will reset the device to factory settings, removing all configurations and data. Make sure to back up any important data before proceeding.
Factory Reset
If you need to factory reset your OAK4 device, you can do so by pressing the hardware reset button while the device is powered on:- Press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds.
- The front LED blinks orange after ~5 seconds.
- Keep holding; at ~10 seconds the LED blinks red and then turns off, indicating that the factory reset has started.
- Release the button once the LED turns off and wait for the device to reboot (this may take a few seconds).
Troubleshooting
Red light (insufficient power)
Blue light does not behave as expected
No DHCP
Orange light (device issue)
Reset Button malfunction
Red light (insufficient power)
Before booting, the OAK4 camera checks for a PoE+ (30W) signal. If not detected, the red light flashes, but the device will still attempt to boot if enough power is available. OAK4 negotiates per IEEE 802.3at for Type 2 (30W PoE+). If negotiation fails or a passive PSE is used, it defaults to Class 0 (15W) and may be underpowered, triggering the red LED as a warning.Some PoE injectors, like Ubiquiti's PoE+ injector, provide enough power but don't signal compliance. In such cases, OAK4 flashes red before booting and turning blue when operational.6
