Aiming and Focusing the Camera
Important: Avoid aiming the camera at very bright lights or image
quality may be diminished by smearing and/or blooming.
Important: When focusing, open the iris all the way to ensure that the
scene is in focus even at the shallowest depth of field. The iris can be
opened from the Avigilon Control Center software.
•
To focus and adjust the field of view (if the lens is a zoom
lens), turn the appropriate ring on the lens. See the
instructions that accompany the lens for details.
For best results, use the Avigilon Control Center software to focus the
camera. The camera lens must be set to auto focus (AF) mode to
ensure the software focus control functions correctly.
Caution — Do not point the lens directly at the sun or other
extremely bright objects or damage to the image sensor
could occur.
Connecting to the Network Video Recorder
Important: To avoid networking problems, only use network switches
recommended by Avigilon.
Connect the camera to the same network as the server running the
Avigilon Control Center software. An IP address is automatically
assigned to the device, and will be detected by the software. For more
information on how to configure the connection, see the software user
guide.
