- OEM/ODM hardware and firmware customization available after engineering review
1. Customer Challenges and Encoder Solutions
Integrating an Analog Camera into an IP Network
Existing cameras and equipment may provide an analog CVBS output rather than Ethernet video. An analog-to-IP encoder bridges this gap by converting the camera signal into a network stream that can be received by compatible software, recorders or monitoring systems.
Connecting Equipment in Locations Without Wired Network Access
For installations where Ethernet is inconvenient, an optional Wi-Fi or 4G LTE module can provide an alternative network connection. The selected module, antenna arrangement, SIM compatibility and network conditions must be confirmed for the target country and application.
Adapting the Encoder to a Larger Embedded System
System developers may need specific network settings, control behavior, storage functions or integration interfaces. These requirements should be reviewed against the selected hardware and firmware before ordering; custom functions may require engineering work.
2. Working Principle and System Integration
The encoder receives an analog video signal from a compatible camera, processes and compresses the video, and outputs an IP video stream through the configured network interface.
- إدخال الفيديو: CVBS analog video. AHD or TVI input support is available only on applicable hardware configurations.
- Video processing: Video capture and H.264/H.265 encoding, depending on the selected board and firmware.
- Network output: RTSP streaming over the configured Ethernet, Wi-Fi or 4G network connection.
- Receiving equipment: Compatible RTSP clients, video management software or network video recorders.
Typical connection: Analog camera → Video encoder → Ethernet / optional Wi-Fi / optional 4G LTE → RTSP client, NVR or monitoring platform.
Remote access over a cellular network is dependent on the mobile operator and network topology. A SIM card alone does not guarantee direct inbound access to the encoder; public IP service, VPN, a relay service or another suitable network arrangement may be required.
3. Technical Specifications and Available Configurations
The encoder is available in different hardware combinations. Confirm the exact input format, network module, power range and firmware functions for the required configuration before purchase.

5. التطبيقات
- Remote monitoring using existing analog cameras
- Vehicle and mobile video systems
- Industrial equipment with analog video output
- Embedded video monitoring and control systems
- Wireless or cellular-connected camera installations
- Video integration projects using compatible CVBS, AHD or TVI sources
6. OEM/ODM Customization and Engineering Support
For OEM and system integration projects, available customization may include network module selection, GPS integration, power input and connector arrangements, video settings, control APIs, firmware behavior and mechanical integration. The feasibility of each request depends on the hardware version, software platform and project requirements.
The standard firmware on supported versions provides TCP/JSON OSD control through a TCP server, using port 8866 و setVideoOsdTextInfo command. This is a TCP network interface, not a UART JSON command interface. UART-based OSD control requires a confirmed hardware specification and may require custom firmware.
Functions such as custom VPN client integration (including WireGuard), customer-specific server connectivity, automatic cellular reconnection, and application-specific recording workflows are project requirements rather than assumed standard features. They require engineering evaluation and confirmation before quotation.
7. الأسئلة المتداولة
Can the encoder convert a CVBS camera signal to an IP stream?
نعم. The encoder is designed to convert a compatible CVBS analog video input into an IP video stream for use with supported network video clients.
Does it support AHD or TVI cameras?
AHD and TVI input are supported on applicable hardware versions. Please provide the camera’s exact video format and resolution so the input configuration can be checked.
Can I use RTSP with VLC or an NVR?
RTSP streaming is supported. Compatibility depends on the receiving software or NVR and the stream settings selected for the encoder.
Can I add a 4G SIM card or Wi-Fi?
Optional 4G LTE and Wi-Fi modules are available for selected configurations. LTE band compatibility, SIM requirements, antenna and local network conditions should be checked before ordering.
Can I access the video remotely through 4G?
Remote access depends on the carrier network and connection design. Some mobile networks use CGNAT and do not provide direct inbound connections. A public IP, VPN, relay or customer network solution may be needed.
Does the standard firmware support WireGuard or custom VPN?
Do not assume that WireGuard or another custom VPN client is included as a standard function. Please submit the required VPN parameters and network workflow for engineering evaluation.
Can the OSD be controlled through UART?
The documented standard OSD control method on supported firmware is TCP/JSON over the network. A UART command protocol and pin definition must be confirmed for the exact hardware version; UART control may require customization.
Can you customize the firmware or hardware?
OEM/ODM customization can be evaluated for network connectivity, control protocols, firmware functions, connectors and system integration. Please provide your requirements for a feasibility review.
