Encoders
Video encoders bridge existing analog CCTV infrastructure with modern IP-based recording and management systems. If your building has working analog cameras but you want to consolidate recording to a modern NVR, add remote access, or phase in IP cameras gradually, encoders provide that transition path without requiring a full rip-and-replace on day one.

Axis P7316
The Axis P7316 is a premium-tier 16-channel rackmount video encoder converting modern HD analog cameras (AHD / TVI / CVI / HDCVBS up to 4K) into IP streams with H.265 / H.264 plus Zipstream bandwidth optimization. Two-way audio with AXIS T83 microphone support, RS-485 PTZ control, configurable I/O, intelligent analytics, and a dedicated SFP slot for optical fiber + network redundancy — purpose-built for whole-building HD analog migrations at large Chicago commercial campuses.
Hanwha Vision
Hanwha SPE-1630
The Hanwha SPE-1630 is a 16-channel rackmount hybrid video encoder that converts AHD, CVI, TVI, and CVBS analog cameras (up to 5MP) into H.265 / H.264 IP streams. Auto-detects analog format per channel, gigabit network, ONVIF Profile S, HDMI 16-multi output, 4 audio inputs, 16 alarm inputs — ideal for whole-building or multi-floor analog-to-IP migrations in Chicago commercial buildings, condos, schools, and retail centers. TAA-compliant variant: SPE-1630/KUS.

Axis P7304
The Axis P7304 is a premium-tier 4-channel video encoder converting modern HD analog cameras (AHD / TVI / CVI / HDCVBS up to 4K) into IP streams with H.265 / H.264 plus Zipstream bandwidth optimization. PoE-powered, configurable I/O, two-way audio, RS-485/422 for analog PTZ control, microSDHC edge storage, and Axis Camera Application Platform (ACAP) support — purpose-built for HD analog migrations in Chicago commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and government installations.
Hanwha Vision
Hanwha SPD-152
The Hanwha SPD-152 is a compact IP video decoder displaying up to 64 cameras (HDMI Clone mode) or 36+25 cameras (Expand mode) on dual HDMI outputs — 4K @ HDMI #1, 1080p @ HDMI #2. Supports H.265 / H.264 / MJPEG codecs, audio output, ONVIF, PoE-powered, VESA monitor-back mountable. The replacement for SPD-150. For Chicago security desks, lobby video walls, guard stations, and monitor-wall deployments — TAA-compliant variant SPD-152/KEX available.
Axis Communications
Axis M7104
The Axis M7104 is an entry-tier 4-channel video encoder for converting standard CVBS analog cameras (the original baseband composite analog format used in legacy pre-HD CCTV systems) to H.264 / H.265 IP streams. Full frame rate at all resolutions, Axis Zipstream, RS-485/422 PTZ control, microSD edge storage, motion + tampering detection, signed firmware + secure boot, PoE-powered. The right entry-tier choice when the existing analog cameras are pre-HD legacy CVBS — for HD analog (AHD / TVI / CVI / 4K) specify the premium P7304 instead.
Axis Communications
Axis M7116
The Axis M7116 is an entry-tier 16-channel rackmount video encoder for converting standard CVBS analog cameras (legacy baseband composite analog) to H.265 / H.264 IP streams at 30 fps on all 16 channels. Axis Zipstream, PTZ control, intelligent analytics, built-in microSD slots for edge storage, signed firmware + secure boot. The right entry-tier choice when 16+ existing analog cameras are pre-HD legacy CVBS — for HD analog (AHD / TVI / CVI / 4K) specify the premium P7316 instead.
Hanwha Vision
Hanwha SPE-420
The Hanwha SPE-420 is a 4-channel hybrid video encoder that converts AHD, CVI, TVI, and CVBS analog cameras (up to 5MP) into H.265 / H.264 IP streams. Auto-detects analog format per channel, supports ONVIF Profile S, and powers from PoE — ideal for phased analog-to-IP migrations in Chicago commercial buildings and HOAs with existing coax wiring.
