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.
