• • Video output: 1 × HDMI (1920×1080, 4 multi-image display)
• • Audio: 4 line inputs, 1 line output; compression: G.711 u-law
• • Alarm: 4 inputs, 2 outputs
• • Dimensions: 178.0 × 34.0 × 127.8 mm (148.7 mm with connector); weight: 520g (1.15 lb)

Key Features

The mainstream performance up to 5MP at 12 fps, 4MP at 15 fps, and 1080p at 30 fps per channel. This 4-channel encoder delivers dual-streaming with a sub-stream up to WD1/4CIF. Onboard intelligence covers motion detection and 4 privacy masks, while legacy PTZ integration is supported via RS-485/422 (SAMSUNG-T, PELCO-P/D) or coaxial control (Pelco-C, AHD, TVI, CVI). Built on a 10/100 Base-T RJ-45 interface supporting SUNAPI and ONVIF Profile S, it accommodates 16 unicast users (4 per channel) and multicast streams under a security suite featuring HTTPS, IP filtering, and 802.1X authentication.
