Product Overview
Cisco ® Video Surveillance Encoders are standalone devices that can be used to convert analog video sources into digital formats so they can be integrated into a networked, IP-based video surveillance system. The 8-port model (CIVS-SENC-8P) supports eight analog video inputs and can be stacked, wall mounted, or rack-mounted. A power supply is included.
Protocols Supported
The 8-port encoder supports a single video stream per port. The stream can be compressed in H.264, MPEG-4, or MJPEG formats and can be configured with different resolutions, frame rates, and bit rates.
PTZ Interface
The encoder provides an RS-485 interface to allow for connection to PTZ control units supporting the Pelco-D protocol, in order to control PTZ functions in an external camera or PTZ mount.
Digital Inputs/ Outputs
The encoder has eight digital outputs and eight digital inputs to connect to and from external sensors.
Web Interface
The encoders support Internet Explorer ® 8.0 for remote setup and administration.
Video Management
The encoder connects to Cisco Video Surveillance Manager Version 6.3.2 and later.
