Axis M7104 4-Channel Video Encoder

The Axis M7104 is a cost-effective video encoder that connects four analogue cameras to an IP network. It supports H.264, H.265 and Motion JPEG compression with Axis Zipstream technology to reduce bandwidth and storage needs while maintaining image quality at full frame rate. Signed firmware and secure boot provide a high level of system defence.

Installers migrating legacy CCTV to IP systems

This encoder suits security professionals who need to integrate existing analogue cameras, including PTZ models, into a modern network infrastructure without replacing cabling. It is not intended for installations that require high-definition or megapixel resolution capture beyond standard D1 formats. Buyers needing more than four channels per unit should consider alternative configurations.

4-channel analogue input with PoE support

The unit accepts four standard-resolution analogue video sources via BNC connections and delivers power over Ethernet for simplified cabling. It handles resolutions from 176x120 up to 720x576 at 25 or 30 frames per second across all channels. Physical dimensions are 187 x 37 mm with a weight of 650 g.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the four analog cameras to the M7104 and what step is often missed?

Connect each camera to one of the four BNC inputs, then enable the channel in the web interface; the step often missed is assigning an IP address before the encoder appears on the network.

What maintenance will the M7104 need after installation?

The unit has no moving parts or filters; only firmware updates are required, which are applied through the web interface or Axis Device Manager.

What limit appears first when all four channels run at full frame rate continuously?

The combined outbound bandwidth of the single Ethernet port becomes the bottleneck before the encoder's processing capacity is reached.
