1. Product Description

This manual applies to the VIP Kit2 Camera – VK2-ENCODER

The VK2-ENCODER supports the network service for an existing analog camera. An analog
image entered can be monitored on a real-time screen regardless of distances and locations.
By using its dedicated program, many users are able to have an access to the VK2­ENCODER at once or a single user can monitor various VK2-ENCODERs at the same time. It
also enables users to play, store and retrieve a monitoring image by using a PC. All the
settings and real-time monitoring screens are also provided through an access to the web.

The VK2-ENCODER is a one-port video transmitter including two-way audio, fully featured
for security surveillance and remote monitoring needs. It is based on the DSP compression
chip, and can digitize one analog video source and make it available on the network as real­time, full frame rate Motion JPEG and H.264 (or MPEG-4) video streams.

The VK2-ENCODER is equipped with RS-485 port for connecting third party PTZ systems.
The alarm input and alarm output can be used to connect various third party devices, such
as, door sensors and alarm bells
