4. Setup

4.1 Cunnessione fisiche

1. Connect Analog Cameras: Connect your analog CCTV cameras to the video input ports on the Axis M7104 using coaxial cables. The encoder typically features multiple BNC connectors for this purpose.
2. Cunnette vi à a Rete: Connect an Ethernet cable (Cat 6 recommended) from the RJ45 network port on the encoder to your network switch or router. Ensure the network connection is active.
3. Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into the encoder's power input and then into a suitable power outlet. The device will power on automatically.

4.2 Configurazione iniziale

After connecting the hardware, you will need to configure the encoder via its web interfaccia:

• Scopre u dispositivu: Use the Axis IP Utility or Axis Device Manager software to discover the encoder on your network and obtain its IP address.
• Accessu Web Interfaccia: apre a web browser and enter the encoder's IP address. You will be prompted to set a root password for the device.
• Configure Video Streams: Dentru u web interface, configure video settings for each connected camera, including resolution, frame rate (e.g., 30 Hz), compression, and streaming profiles.
• Impostazioni di a rete: Adjust network settings such as static IP address, DNS, and gateway if required by your network infrastructure.

5. Operating the Video Encoder

Once configured, the Axis M7104 Video Encoder operates by continuously digitizing and streaming video from connected analog cameras over the network. It is primarily used for video surveillance and security systems.

• Live View: Access live video streams from connected cameras through a compatible Video Management Software (VMS) or directly via the encoder's web interfaccia.
• Registrazione: Integrate the encoder with a Network Video Recorder (NVR) or VMS for continuous or event-triggered recording of video streams.
• Gestione di l'eventi: Configure event triggers (e.g., motion detection, external input) and corresponding actions (e.g., send notifications, start recording) through the encoder's web interface or VMS.
• Accessu à distanza: Access video streams and manage the encoder remotely via a secure network connection, often facilitated by your VMS or network configuration.

6. Mantenimentu

• Pulizia: Periodically clean the exterior of the encoder with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the device is powered off before cleaning.
• Actualizazioni di firmware: Verificate regularmente l'Axis Communications website for firmware updates. Keeping the firmware updated ensures optimal performance, security, and access to new features. Follow the instructions provided by Axis for firmware update procedures.
• Cundizioni Ambientali: Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges for indoor use to prevent damage and ensure longevity.

7. Risoluzione di prublemi

Problemi cumuni è suluzione:

• Nisun putere:
  • Verify the power adapter is securely connected to both the encoder and a working power outlet.
  • Verificate se a presa di corrente hè funziunale.
• Nisuna cunnessione di rete:
  • Ensure the Ethernet cable is properly connected to the RJ45 port on the encoder and the network switch/router.
  • Check the network status lights on the encoder and the switch.
  • Verify network settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway) are correct.
  • Try restarting the encoder and the network switch.
• Nisun signalu video:
  • Confirm that analog cameras are properly connected to the coaxial video input ports.
  • Ensure cameras are powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Check video settings in the encoder's web interface for the specific channel.
• Ùn possu accede Web Interfaccia:
  • Verify the encoder's IP address is correct and reachable from your computer.
  • Ensure your computer is on the same network segment as the encoder.
  • Disattivate temporaneamente qualsiasi firewall o software antivirus in u vostru urdinatore chì puderia bluccà l'accessu.
  • Try using the Axis IP Utility to rediscover the device.
