About Digital Watchdog Encoder

Let the Compressor Analog to IP Signal Encoder revolutionize your surveillance system by converting signals from 16 HD-Analog, HD-TVI, HD-CVI, or 960H cameras into real-time IP streams. With a frame rate of 30fps at 1080p and up to 3MP resolution, this advanced encoder ensures high-quality video output. It is fully integrated with the Windows-based DW Spectrum IPVMS, making it a cost-effective solution for systems utilizing both analog and IP cameras.

This universal HD encoder supports all HD analog formats and all analog up to 960H, offering a seamless path to IP. Connect your analog cameras to DW Spectrum IPVMS with ease, and look forward to Linux integration in the near future.

The Compressor Encoder allows you to convert up to 16 analog cameras to an IP video signal, with real-time 480fps at 1080p resolution output and up to 240fps at 3MP resolution output. It features a VMAX 2.0 intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and offers camera OSD and PTZ control via Coax (UTC), with DW Spectrum IPVMS integration coming soon.

This efficient encoder works with DW Spectrum IPVMS recording License (needs qty 4 DW-SPCP04LSC004 for 16 Analog Channels, sold separately), and offers motion detection via DW Spectrum IPVMS. It also includes 1x RS-485 for PTZ control, search and playback via DW Spectrum IPVMS, frame rate and bandwidth control, and alarm input/output.

Stay informed with motion event notifications with snapshot via DW Spectrum IPVMS and event notifications for alarm input/output via email. The Compressor Encoder is also rack-mountable for your convenience.

The Universal HD Compressor is the simplest way to merge an existing analog solution with an IP DW Spectrum IPVMS system. With support for all 960H and below resolution Analog Cameras and Universal HD Coax Formats (1080p Resolution via Coax), the encoder can be integrated into an existing analog application and add on the benefits of all the powerful analytical monitoring power of the DW Spectrum IPVMS software. This allows for optimal financial flexibility and ROI, with individual components of an entire solution updated separately.

Experience the convenience of PTZ and OSD Control via Coax (UTC). UTC (Up The Coax) allows a user to access the camera's OSD (On Screen Display) through a coaxial connection, eliminating the need for an additional RS485 cable to reach the menu. Upgrade your surveillance system with the Compressor Analog to IP Signal Encoder, a reliable and high-quality solution for your security needs.
