Aiming and Focusing the Camera
Important:
Avoid aiming the camera at very bright lights otherwise image quality could be
diminished by smear and/or blooming.
Important:
When focusing, open the iris all the way to ensure that the scene is in focus even
at the shallowest depth of field.
For best results, use the Avigilon Control Center software to focus the camera. The
camera lens must be set to auto focus (AF) mode to ensure the software focus con-
trol functions correctly.
Focus and field of view (if the lens is a zoom lens) can be adjusted by turning the appropriate
ring on the lens. See the lens and accompanying instructions for details. The iris is con-
trolled by the camera. The iris can be opened for focusing using the Avigilon Control Center
software.
Caution
– Do not point the lens directly at the sun or other extremely bright objects
otherwise damage to the image sensor could occur.
Connecting the Camera to a Network Video Recorder (NVR)
Important:
To avoid networking problems, use only network switches recommended by Avi-
gilon.
Connect the camera to the same network as the NVR running the Avigilon Control Center
software. The camera will automatically obtain an IP address and will be detected by the soft-
ware. For more information on how to configure the camera consult the software user guide.
The connection status LED on the back of the camera indicates the camera’s progress in
connecting to the NVR as described in the table below.
