Section 2 - Configuring communications on the HD-IP470
The HD-IP470 supports communications over wired LAN, Wi-Fi and
Cellular. Refer to the IP Series, HD-Q800, 4K-R800 - Setup Guide for
instructions on this step.
Connecting over a 3G/4G cellular network
A valid mobile SIM card is required in order to connect the HD-IP470 over a cellular communications bearer. The unit
has an inbuilt modem for 3G/4G connection with 3G/4G antenna connectors on the side of the device. Note: despite
the ultra-efficient bandwidth usage achieved by TVI, the HD-IP470 is considered a heavy data use product on cellular
networks. It is recommended that an unlimited data plan (or if unavailable, a heavy consumption data plan) is set up
with your Mobile Network Service Provider for use with the HD-IP470.
The SIM card holder is located inside the unit under the modem card – this supports a standard size SIM card. To install
micro or nano size cards an adaptor will be required.
Before installing the SIM card:
• The unit should be disconnected from the power supply when installing the SIM card.
• Take precautions to prevent static discharge when handling components.
To install the SIM card carefully follow these steps:
Remove the hatch
Unscrew and safely store the four black bolts holding the base hatch in place. Then remove the hatch.

Appendix A - Troubleshooting and frequently asked
questions
How many channels does the HD-IP470 support?
The HD-IP470 can record up to eight cameras and transmit one of those cameras. It is possible to create multiple
quad-views allowing four cameras to be transmitted simultaneously.
What level of recording and streaming performance is achievable?
Based on the processing power of the HD-IP470, the unit can achieve 25/30 fps of 1080p quality recording whilst
simultaneously streaming one 1080p video stream at 10fps.
What recording functions does the HD-IP470 support?
The HD-IP470 can be set up to record continuously, or to record on an alarm trigger. Recordings can be set to
overwrite old recordings automatically, or to stop on full.
What indicative recording times and streaming rates are achievable?
The HD-IP470 records the incoming video stream from IP cameras without modification. By default, cameras are
automatically configured by the encoder to 1080p @ 25/30fps at a bitrate of 10 Mbps when added to an encoder. This
will provide approximately 8 days recordings at a very high quality (multiple cameras will proportionally reduce this
duration) on the supplied 1TB drive.
After adding the camera, and by using the camera’s own configuration interface, the user is usually able to manually
configure lower quality setting on their IP cameras to extend the duration of recordings if necessary. This table
provides an indication of the potential increase in duration possible:
Frame rate
IP Camera b/w
1TB SDD
1 fps
1.4 Mbps
64 days
6.25 fps
3 Mbps
32 days
12.5 fps
5 Mbps
16 days
25 fps
7 Mbps
12 days
720p cameras are approximately half of the resolution of 1080p (and standard definition cameras are approximately ¼
of the resolution of 1080p) and as such will use proportionally less data.

EDGEVIS HD-IP470 HARDWARE INSTALLATION

What bearers can the HD-IP470 use to transmit video to EdgeVis Server?
The HD-IP470 includes an inbuilt 4G/LTE cellular modem for efficient streaming over commercially available cellular
networks. It can also transmit using its inbuilt LAN port or Wi-Fi module. EdgeVis optimises its transmission to the
characteristics of the bearer that it is being used to maximise performance.
How does EdgeVis Server licensing work in relation to the HD-IP470?
The EdgeVis Server licensing model is based on the number of cameras connected to the encoder. An HD-IP470 unit
therefore requires up to eight encoder licences for licensing purposes (if all eight cameras are being utilised). These
licences must either be of type EdgeVis Lite, Enhanced or Enterprise, depending on the feature set desired.
Which IP cameras are supported by the HD-IP470?
The list of specific cameras supported on the IP Series of products can be found on the Support site:
