The ENCIPHER is a dual HD video encoder designed for live video streaming and surveillance applications.

The small, robust unit is able to encode up to two simultaneous H.264 HD video streams combining low delay, high quality broadcast capabilities with a range of extra features such as composite video, Power over Ethernet (PoE), PTZ camera control, motion triggering, integration with 3G/4G cellular infrastructure and more.

The encoder can operate in a variety of transmission bandwidths, from 100kbps to 50Mbps, allowing the user to configure the system according to the application requirements.

Sample Configuration for a Range of Requirements and Use Cases

The ENCIPHER is an IP encoder that offers simple and affordable entry into the surveillance market, and is adaptable to any operation whenever the size and scope. It brings dual channel capabilities into one small, robust device that can be quickly deployed and futhermore, offers software selectable audio source, embedded or analogue audio, for each encoder channel. Connecting the ENCIPHER to IP network infrastructure allows H.264 quality streaming at transmission bandwidths from 100kbps to 50Mbps with variable bitrate encoding.

Adaptive Bitrate

The Encipher is able to operate between 100kbps and 50Mbps, making it usable with a various IP egress communication links including 3G and 4G LTE.

3rd Party VMS

With full ONVIF S support, Encipher can stream video directly into Video Management Systems such as Milestone, Airship, Genetec and more.

Multi Role

Twelve separate AV, network, USB and power interface connections covering analogue & embedded audio, HDMI, RJ45, USB hosting, PoE and more, alongside single RS485 or twin RS232 PTZ camera control ports mean that the Encipher can be used for a wide range of functions and use cases in one single hardware format.
