Figure 2:
Example of no DHCP network connections on an 8 port HD Video Appliance.
Avigilon cameras are able to assign IP addresses to themselves through Zero Configuration Networking
(Zeroconf) when a DHCP server is not available. The Avigilon Control Center software should automatically
detect all connected cameras through the 169.254.0.0/16 subnet.
If you would like to access the Internet through the HD Video Appliance, you can add an Internet connection
to one of the corporate network ports. The corporate network ports are separate from the numbered
camera ports, so they will not interfere with video recording.
After you connect cameras to the numbered ports, you can configure the Avigilon Control Center system.

Configuring a Network with an External DHCP Server
If you already have a router, or switch, to connect your other network devices, you can connect the HD
Video Appliance directly to the router so that cameras can be addressed using the router's built-in DHCP
service.
