When using a four port encoder such as the Axis Q7424-R, five encoders are added to Security Center for the unit. The fifth encoder is added to view a quad stream and does not require an extra camera license. The quad view is a combination of the views of the four other encoders.
When one of the four encoders is disabled, the fifth encoder for the quad view is
automatically disabled. The fifth encoder cannot be enabled again until the other four
encoders are enabled. The quad view encoder must be enabled manually in Config
Tool on the Peripherals
tab of the unit.
