The 4-channel VideoEdge ® IP Encoder connects analog
cameras to video networks. Using Intellex IP, the encoder
creates tighter integration of American Dynamics security
solutions, plugging analog outputs into an American Dynamics
surveillance environment that captures, displays, stores,
retrieves, and analyzes security data over an IT network
connection.
The VideoEdge IP Encoder interfaces with Intellex IP solution to
create an integrated environment for configuring and managing
large and complex surveillance systems that require remote
access and control, interfacing with alarm services, data mining,
and analytics capabilities.
The IP encoder converts outputs from analog cameras into
proprietary American Dynamics Active Content Compression
(ACC). ACC is a highly efficient video compression format
developed to address the specific needs of the security
industry. It compresses data up to 9 times more efficiently than
comparable MPEG-4 and MJPEG compression technologies.
Video streams from the encoder can be viewed via a Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer browser, Intellex Digital Video Management
systems, Network Client, or Browser Client.
The IP encoder creates a single IP video stream which
consolidates four composite video inputs, up to four
text streams, and four event inputs. Network bandwidth
management monitors the compressed data stream for each
camera, and each client, and limits the amount of data to a
user controlled limit. System performance is further enhanced
by sophisticated features like watchdog system monitoring with
auto reset and video loss detection.
A versatile control interface can be used to adjust camera pan,
tilt, zoom, focus, aperture, presets, and patterns for American
Dynamics SpeedDome programmable dome cameras and for
select third party PTZ domes.
The VideoEdge IP Encoder is a global solution designed for
reliable performance across a wide range of temperature and
environmental conditions. Its small form factor allows it to be
rack or wall mounted, or to be placed directly on a shelf or a
desk in close proximity to the video and text sources.
