OAK4 Getting Started

This document will guide you through the process of setting up your OAK4 device.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.

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.

(Optional) Connect to Hub

If you want to connect the camera to Luxonis Hub and explore the ecosystem click on the "Adopt to Hub" button in the OAK Viewer, confirm factory reset and select new password. Once setup is complete, a Hub tag will be shown on your device in OAK Viewer.
Step by step instructions:

1. Click Adopt To Hub

If you want to connect the camera to Luxonis Hub and explore the ecosystem click on the "Adopt to Hub" button in the OAK Viewer.

2. Acknowledge data deletion

You will get a warning about the on-device data deletion if you continue with the Hub setup. This will delete all user data - including /data/ and the user overlay. After this step you will be redirected to a web browser.

3. Insert new password

Insert password and advanced settings if necessary.

4. Confirm successful finish

Navigating back to the OAK Viewer you should now see a Hub tag next to your device indicating that the camera is successfully connected to the Luxonis Hub.

Factory Reset & Troubleshooting

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:
  1. Press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds.
  2. The front LED blinks orange after ~5 seconds.
  3. Keep holding; at ~10 seconds the LED blinks red and then turns off, indicating that the factory reset has started.
  4. 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.
