Connect an analog camera to the Video In port of the encoder using a video cable with BNC connectors. Connecting the Video Output Device (V21 / V22 only) Because the encoder converts the analog camera signal into digital and transmits this signal through the network, monitoring can be done from any PC in the network as well as recording of the video.
1. Loosen the screws of the 12V and GND pins of the power terminal block. 2. Take note that a standard power adapter cable has two (2) different wires: Connects to GND Pin White stripe: Connects to 12V Pin www.acti.com...
