®
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 4-port model
(CIVS-SENC-4P) supports four analog video inputs and can be stacked, wall mounted, or rack-mounted. A power
supply is included.
