• Power over Ethernet (PoE) Class 3 — If PoE is
available, the encoder is automatically detected
when the network cable is connected.
• External Power — Connect an external 12 VDC or
24 VAC power source to the power connector block.
For more information, see Connecting Power.
5. Connect analog video cameras to the encoder. Use the
coax/BNC connector video inputs on the front of the
encoder.
The encoder supports 4 video inputs and is initially
configured for a composite video input with 75 ohm
termination. The video standard (NTSC/PAL) is
automatically detected. The video input status LEDs will
turn on if the encoder locks to the video signal. If the video
source is connected in parallel with other equipment, the
input termination should be turned off, this can be done
through the encoder web interface.
6. Check that the Connection Status LED indicates the
correct state.
For more information, see LED Indicators.
Assigning an IP Address
The encoder automatically obtains an IP address by default. Once
connected to a network, it attempts to locate and obtain an IP address
from a DHCP server. If this fails, Zero Configuration Networking
(Zeroconf) is used to choose an IP address. When the IP address is
set using Zeroconf, the IP address is in the 169.254.0.0/16 subnet.
The IP address settings can be changed using one of the following
methods:
• (Recommended) Avigilon Camera Installation Tool
software application.
• Encoder's web browser interface:
http://<encoder IP address>/
