When you select the wire used to provide power, be sure to select a
gauge that is heavy enough for the wiring distance. Refer to the
following table for the maximum wire length for different wire gauges.

Connecting Analog Cameras to the Encoder
Connect analog video cameras to the encoder using the coax/BNC
connector video inputs on the front of the encoder. The encoder
supports 4 video inputs and is initially configured for a composite
video input with 75 ohm termination. The video standard (NTSC/PAL)
is automatically detected. The video input status LEDs will turn on if
the encoder locks to the video signal. If the video source is connected
in parallel with other equipment, the input termination should be
turned off, this can be done through the Avigilon Control Center
software.
Connecting to the Network Video Recorder
Important: To avoid networking problems, only use network switches
recommended by Avigilon.
Connect the encoder to the same network as the server running the
Avigilon Control Center software. An IP address is automatically
assigned to the device, and will be detected by the software. For more
