Configuring Speco Cameras on Avigilon Servers.

1. Avigilon servers with Speco cameras, ONVIF is PREFERRED, programming is STATIC .
   1. There is NO DHCP reservation on Avigilon servers. Therefore, no way to bind a MAC of a camera to an IP address. If there is a blink or drop in the network, the camera can change its IP address.
   2. It is also noted that the Speco Camera must be programmed directly and not via the Avigilon tool.
2. If a black screen is identified on the Aviligon App, it it is a result of the throughput being too high. It is recommended to follow these instructions to resolve the issue.
   1. Change the camera FPS to 12-15 directly in the camera
   2. Go into the Avigilon Client.  (1) Select the Gear, (2) Select Settings, (3) Select Network. (4) Select the site you are working on.
   3. Switch from the default “LAN” to the “WAN” connection. This will change the protocol to a better tolerance.
