ENCODERS
An Endura encoder (NET5301T) takes an analog video and audio signal (NTSC or PAL) through a standard BNC coaxial cable, converts it into a
digitally compressed format (MPEG-4), and sends it as TCP/IP packets over an Ethernet network. The NET5301T uses dual MPEG-4 encoder chips
to provide two independently configured video streams. The encoder supports three alarm inputs and one relay output, as well as bidirectional
audio and activity detection. Triggered alarms can be included in recording schedules.
An Endura intelligent encoder (NET5301TI) provides additional analytic capabilities for the cameras that are attached to the intelligent encoder.
For general information on configuring video analytic behaviors, refer to Video Analytics on page 97. For specific instructions on configuring
these behaviors, refer to the configuration manual that was provided with the behavior software.
The Endura wireless encoder (NET5301) is a high-performance, dual-stream, single-input video encoding unit. Its main function is to convert
analog video into dual MPEG-4 video streams. It transmits these streams to an EW5001 or EW5002 access point, which transmits the streams
over an Ethernet network to other Endura system devices. Refer to Configuring a Wireless Encoder on page 99 for instructions on configuring a
wireless encoder.

Refer to Configuring Individual Devices on page 88.
To configure an encoder:
1. Click the Setup button .
2. Click the Devices tab.
3. Click the encoder you want to configure. The panel on the right updates to display the current settings for that encoder. If necessary, click
the Identify button to identify the hardware for the encoder you have selected.
4. Enter a user-friendly name for the encoder.
5. Assign a location to the encoder.
