4. Suidhich

4.1 Ceanglaichean Corporra

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. Ceangail ris an Lìonra: 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. Ceangal cumhachd: 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 Rèiteachadh tùsail

After connecting the hardware, you will need to configure the encoder via its web eadar-aghaidh:

• Lorg inneal: Use the Axis IP Utility or Axis Device Manager software to discover the encoder on your network and obtain its IP address.
• Ruigsinneachd Web Eadar-aghaidh: Fosgail 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: Taobh a-staigh an web interface, configure video settings for each connected camera, including resolution, frame rate (e.g., 30 Hz), compression, and streaming profiles.
• Roghainnean lìonra: 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.

• Beò View: Access live video streams from connected cameras through a compatible Video Management Software (VMS) or directly via the encoder's web eadar-aghaidh.
• Clàradh: Integrate the encoder with a Network Video Recorder (NVR) or VMS for continuous or event-triggered recording of video streams.
• Riaghladh Tachartasan: Configure event triggers (e.g., motion detection, external input) and corresponding actions (e.g., send notifications, start recording) through the encoder's web eadar-aghaidh no VMS.
• Ruigsinneachd air astar: Access video streams and manage the encoder remotely via a secure network connection, often facilitated by your VMS or network configuration.

6. Cumail suas

• Glanadh: 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.
• Ùrachaidhean firmware: Thoir sùil cunbhalach air 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.
• Suidheachaidhean Àrainneachdail: Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges for indoor use to prevent damage and ensure longevity.

7. A ’dèanamh trioblaid

Cùisean Coitcheann agus Fuasglaidhean:

• Gun chumhachd:
  • Verify the power adapter is securely connected to both the encoder and a working power outlet.
