PLUG’N’PLAY AND POWER
OVER ETHERNET
The AvertX HDIP recorder is equipped with an on-board Power over
Ethernet (PoE) switch. This enables you to automatically connect to any
AvertX camera by connecting the camera to the IP network port and
enabling the PnP feature in the Camera menu (See the Earlier
Chapter).
A situation may arise in which the on-board PoE switch is not sufficient,
or you will need to disable the PnP feature and configure your cameras
manually. This appendix provides instructions for these scenarios.
Using ONVIF Cameras from
Other Manufacturers
The PnP feature is designed to work exclusively with AvertX cameras.
You can use ONVIF compliant cameras from other manufacturers, but
you must disable PnP and configure your cameras manually.
1. Plug the camera into an available channel on the back of the
recorder.
2. On the camera, using the manual that came with the camera,
assign the camera a new IP address and set the gateway and
subnet to match the information in the table below.
Settings
RevA AvertX NVR
RevB AvertX NVR

Subnet
255.255.255.0

network.
