4. Configuração

4.1 Conexões Físicas

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. Conecte-se à rede: 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. Conecte a energia: 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 Configuração Inicial

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

• Descubra o dispositivo: Use the Axis IP Utility or Axis Device Manager software to discover the encoder on your network and obtain its IP address.
• Acesso Web Interface: Abra um web browser and enter the encoder's IP address. You will be prompted to set a root password for the device.
• Configure Video Streams: Dentro do web interface, configure video settings for each connected camera, including resolution, frame rate (e.g., 30 Hz), compression, and streaming profiles.
• Configurações de rede: 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.

• Ao vivo View: Access live video streams from connected cameras through a compatible Video Management Software (VMS) or directly via the encoder's web interface.
• Gravação: Integrate the encoder with a Network Video Recorder (NVR) or VMS for continuous or event-triggered recording of video streams.
• Gestão de Eventos: Configure event triggers (e.g., motion detection, external input) and corresponding actions (e.g., send notifications, start recording) through the encoder's web interface ou VMS.
• Acesso remoto: Access video streams and manage the encoder remotely via a secure network connection, often facilitated by your VMS or network configuration.

6. Manutenção

• Limpeza: 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.
• Atualizações de firmware: Verifique regularmente as comunicações da 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.
• Condições ambientais: Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges for indoor use to prevent damage and ensure longevity.

7. Solução De Problemas

Problemas e soluções comuns:

• Sem energia:
  • Verify the power adapter is securely connected to both the encoder and a working power outlet.
  • Verifique se a tomada elétrica está funcionando.
• Sem conexão de rede:
  • 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.
• Sem sinal de vídeo:
  • Confirm that analog cameras are properly connected to the coaxial video input ports.
  • Certifique-se de que as câmeras estejam ligadas e funcionando corretamente.
  • Check video settings in the encoder's web interface for the specific channel.
• Não é possível acessar Web Interface:
  • 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.
  • Desative temporariamente qualquer firewall ou software antivírus em seu computador que possa estar bloqueando o acesso.
  • Try using the Axis IP Utility to rediscover the device.
