and is showing a solid green RF Connected LED on each NETNode.
The NETNode must be configured for composite camera operation. Check that Global
Settings → Auxiliary Address is set to 1.

jack (f) on the NETNode labelled AV.
2. Now connect the BNC 2-way plug (m) to your camera‟s BNC 2-way jack (f).

NETNode labelled AV.
2. Now connect the BNC 2-way plug (m) to your camera‟s BNC 2-way jack (f).

3.7.1. Integrated Video Encoding AVI option fitted (Composite Input)
The user must enable the video transmission. If the MESH node has an AVI option fitted
then it will accept standard composite video (NTSC or PAL) and it will encode and stream the
video over the Network. An Encoder Tab appears on the Web-browser if an internal video
encoder is fitted.
