This manual provides information for installing and setting up the ViconNet® H264-ENCDR 4-Channel Video Encoder. The H264-ENCDR Network Encoder is a 4-channel digital video server that converts analog camera inputs into streamed IP video data. This embedded device is specifically designed to integrate into the ViconNet Video Management System (VMS).

H.264 Encoder Installation and Configuration Guide Unit Components This section describes the H264-ENCDR rear and front panels. Rear Panel Connections  PTZ Port: Two 6-position terminal blocks used to connect simplex RS-422/485 communications. Use star configuration.  Network Port: A standard RJ-45 connector used to connect to a 100/1000Base-T LAN/WAN.
Page 9: Mounting
Desktop The H264-ENCDR can rest on a clean and dry flat surface, like a desk or tabletop. Four (4) rubber bumpers are provided for stable mounting. There must be an area of no less than 3 in. (76 mm) left around the exterior to provide suitable airflow for cooling.
Page 10: Installing The H264-Encdr
Before beginning the hardware installation, ensure that the room or area designated for the ViconNet hardware installation is well ventilated and that the surface on which the H264-ENCDR is to be placed is level, clean and dry. The ViconNet H264-ENCDR encoder offers full support of NTSC/EIA and PAL/CCIR video cameras.
Page 11 H.264 Encoder Installation and Configuration Guide To connect a camera dome/PTZ camera control to the H264-ENCDR: A star configuration provides multiple communication paths. By fanning out communications, system reliability increases; a failure on one leg of a star has no affect on the other units. Refer to the Figure below for an illustration of a sample configuration.
Page 12 H.264 Encoder Installation and Configuration Guide To connect an alarm (sensor) to the H264-ENCDR: 1. Locate the alarm cable(s) near the encoder. These wires (pairs) will be connected to the Sensors and GND (Ground) terminal block connections (refer to Figure below). There are four alarms available.

Page 14: Operation
To power on the encoder: With the unit set up as shown in Installation, connect the 24 VAC power supply to the H264-ENCDR or connect PoE via network cable (RJ-45). The Status Indicator will illuminate blue (blinking) to indicate the encoder is ON and running properly.

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-ENCDR connected to a ViconNet Workstation or can be complex with the addition of several networks interconnected via WAN.
Page 17  Connecting the H264-ENCDR to an active Nucleus: via ViconNet application (using same Nucleus the H264-ENCDR is configured for is necessary). Note: In order to install firmware, the PC and H264-ENCDR must be on the same IP network subnet.
Page 18 Using the VNSetup Utility VNSetup consists of several TABs. Each TAB provides different functionalities. Note Once the H264-ENCDR Setup is installed, a shortcut is placed on the desktop for future use. 1. Make sure the MAC address and password of the H264-ENCDR is available.
