4. Enstalasyon

4.1 Koneksyon fizik

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. Konekte sou rezo a: 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. Konekte pouvwa: 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 Inisyal Konfigirasyon

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

• Dekouvri aparèy: Use the Axis IP Utility or Axis Device Manager software to discover the encoder on your network and obtain its IP address.
• Aksè Web Entèfas: Louvri 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: Nan la web interface, configure video settings for each connected camera, including resolution, frame rate (e.g., 30 Hz), compression, and streaming profiles.
• Anviwònman rezo: 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.

• Viv View: Access live video streams from connected cameras through a compatible Video Management Software (VMS) or directly via the encoder's web koòdone.
• Anrejistreman: Integrate the encoder with a Network Video Recorder (NVR) or VMS for continuous or event-triggered recording of video streams.
• Jesyon Evènman: 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.
• Aksè Remote: Access video streams and manage the encoder remotely via a secure network connection, often facilitated by your VMS or network configuration.

6. Antretyen

• Netwayaj: 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.
• Mizajou mikrolojisyèl: Tcheke kominikasyon Axis yo regilyèman. 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.
• Kondisyon anviwònman: Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges for indoor use to prevent damage and ensure longevity.
