Non-Chinese HD Analog Encoder Options
A member asked the other day about non-Chinese HD analog encoder options.
HD analog encoders are limited, with Hikvision and Dahua more focused on HD analog DVRs with less attractive encoder options.
The benefit of HD analog encoders is to integrate with 3rd party VMS systems. For background see: Testing Dahua HDCVI Encoder With VMSes and HD Analog DVRs With Exacq, Milestone and Genetec VMSes Tested.
The following is a list of other HD analog encoders:
Geovision has (2) HD analog encoders, both 4 channels, one for AHD and another for TVI. They are both small form factor unlike the HD analog encoders so far from Dahua and Hikvision. ONVIF support is planned for 'early Q2 2017'. Estimated street pricing ~$300.
Also 8 channel versions are planned for Q1 2017 release and 16 channel ones in Q3 2017.
In addition to upcoming ONVIF support, they will (not surprisingly) work with Geovision's own VMS.
Any other HD analog encoders, let us know and we'll add.
GeoVision is not a name I hear much anymore. How are they doing with all the price presser from Hik and Dahua?
well time to order a test unit and do some testing. if it works good and basic ONVIF support happens I may very well push Geovisons sales up to be notable again.
not so mention Samwha Technet HD analog cameras are going to be hard to come by.
So many projects right now that could be upgraded to IP with full HD cameras for an enterprise system at budget even if all it does is stream full HD video via ONVIF compatibility.
and they are Taiwanese if i am not mistaken. that means is should make the chi-comms angrier than that phone call from Trump the other day.
SDC-9441BC ~$70-80
4 channel encoder ~$300
total parts about $650 + labor to upgrade 4 cameras to HD analog (~$163 per camera + labor ) and get them IP addressable with ONVIF compatibility.
Eddie, why do you need an encoder for such low camera count jobs? Can't you use a HD dvr here, or is this just 4 cameras out of a bigger number that are streaming to a third party VMS?
Related what are the non-Chinese Analog HD options, encoders or not?
Samsung, DW, ??
Not exactly, the encoder you are referring to is a standard definition device, which is not relevant to our HD over Coax solutions. It acts as an easy method for onboarding existing standard definition devices to the easiest video management solution on the planet - DW Spectrum.
Currently, we provide a Universal HD over Coax DVR that is capable of AHD, TVI, CVI and standard analog. We marketed this device as the VMaxA1 (A1 = All in One, Universal HD over Coax). This device is Korean in origin.
At the moment this device also is not relevant to this encoder discussion either but we look forward to sharing news that may be relevant here as soon as it become available.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call.
Thanks,
Patrick
