Axis Communications M7104 Overview
Update video from your analog cameras to IP video with the M7104 4-Channel Video Encoder from Axis Communications. This unit takes standard analog signal inputs from up to four channels and encodes them as digital video. Axis Zipstream technology compresses video footage in H.265 and H.264 to reduce bandwidth and storage requirements. The M7104 supports 720 x 480 resolution video at 30 fps. RS-485/422 ports enable PTZ camera control.
This encoder features 802.3af/at PoE standards, signed firmware and secure boot enhanced security, and a built-in memory card slot that accepts microSD/SDHC/SDXC cards (available separately) for edge storage. Compliance with ONVIF profiles G, S, and T enables interoperability with a wide range of surveillance devices.
Multiple, individually configurable streams in H.265, H.264, and MJPEG

Axis Communications M7104 Reviews
NO POWER ADAPTER OR POE
By Raul
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2020-07-31
I replaced the Axis P7214 with the M7104 and to my surprised (very upset) the M7014 does not provide the power adapter (Mains adaptor PS-K T-C). The video encoder can be powered by using a POE (AXIS T8120 Midspan 15 W 1-poe). So don't be to exited to open up the box, you will need the purchase the adapter/POE.
