H.264 16-Channel Encoder Installation and Configuration Guide
Configuring the Encoder
The latest software tools for the H264-16CH-ENCDR, including VNSetup,
can be found on the Vicon website,
www.vicon-security.com
, on the product
page
.
Be sure the ViconNet Workstation meets the minimum requirements, is
running the ViconNet application (
minimum version 6.6SP2; VNSetup,
minimum version 3.71
) and has the proper PTZ camera driver. Refer to
appropriate ViconNet documentation as needed.
Network Considerations
The H264-16CH-ENCDR can be connected to any ViconNet network.
Kollector Recorders and ViconNet Workstations/ NVRs can be used for live
viewing and recording of network-streamed video (workstations do not
record). A network can be as simple as a single H264-16CH-ENCDR
connected to a ViconNet Workstation or can be complex with the addition of
several networks interconnected via WAN.
When adding a H264-16CH-ENCDR to the ViconNet network, the following
items must be considered:
The number of H264-16CH-ENCDRs on a switch with respect to
switch capabilities and system bandwidth mapping.
Bandwidth limitations on ports connected to workstations (using 100
or 1000 Mbps).
Workstation capabilities such as processing speed, disk write speed
and display card strength.
Storage size and location types including local Workstation recording,
attached SCSI RAID and integrated NAS/SAN devices.
The default parameters on the IP encoder are:
Factory Defaults
Network Defaults
IP address: [1.1.1.1]
IP address: [1.1.1.1]
Nucleus IP address: [1.1.1.2]
Nucleus IP address: [1.1.1.2]
Net Mask address: [255.255.255.0] Net Mask address: [255.255.255.0]
Gateway address: [1.1.1.2]
Gateway address: [1.1.1.2]
On first startup, the H264-16CH-ENCDR will attempt to establish connection
to the Nucleus with the default address (1.1.1.1). Connecting it to an active
Nucleus is done through the VNSetup utility.
