Introduction
Avigilon H4 Edge Solution (ES) cameras are Avigilon cameras that feature an integrated solid state drive that is
pre-loaded with Avigilon Control Center™ (ACC) Server software.
Each H4 ES camera can be used as a standard camera, or accessed as its own network video recording server
with a pre-connected camera. The camera and server exist in the same body but can be configured separately.
You can configure both parts of the camera from the camera web interface and the Avigilon Control Center
Client software.
This guide describes how to configure the system after the camera has been installed and powered as
described in the camera installation guide.
System Architecture
The server component on the H4 ES camera can be joined with other servers and be managed together as a
site. H4 ES cameras are most commonly installed in the following configurations:
Single Camera Site

A single camera site is when the H4 ES camera works alone to stream and manage video. When you access the
site through the ACC Client for the first time, you are logging into a site that is named after the camera. By
default, two ACC users can be logged into the camera site simultaneously.
