4. Impostazione

4.1 Connessioni fisiche

1. Collegare telecamere analogiche: 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. Connetti alla 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. Connetti alimentazione: 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:

• Scopri dispositivo: Use the Axis IP Utility or Axis Device Manager software to discover the encoder on your network and obtain its IP address.
• Accesso Web Interfaccia: Aprire un web browser and enter the encoder's IP address. You will be prompted to set a root password for the device.
• Configure Video Streams: All'interno del web interface, configure video settings for each connected camera, including resolution, frame rate (e.g., 30 Hz), compression, and streaming profiles.
• Impostazioni di 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.

• Vivere 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 eventi: Configure event triggers (e.g., motion detection, external input) and corresponding actions (e.g., send notifications, start recording) through the encoder's web interfaccia o VMS.
• Accesso remoto: Access video streams and manage the encoder remotely via a secure network connection, often facilitated by your VMS or network configuration.

6. Manutenzione

• 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.
• Aggiornamenti del firmware: Controllare regolarmente le comunicazioni Axis 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.
• Condizioni ambientali: Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges for indoor use to prevent damage and ensure longevity.

7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

Problemi comuni e soluzioni:

• Nessun potere:
  • Verify the power adapter is securely connected to both the encoder and a working power outlet.
  • Controllare se la presa di corrente funziona.
• Nessuna connessione 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.
• Nessun segnale video:
  • Confirm that analog cameras are properly connected to the coaxial video input ports.
  • Assicurarsi che le telecamere siano accese e funzionino correttamente.
  • Check video settings in the encoder's web interface for the specific channel.
• Impossibile accedere 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.
  • Disattiva temporaneamente qualsiasi firewall o software antivirus sul tuo computer che potrebbe bloccare l'accesso.
  • Try using the Axis IP Utility to rediscover the device.
