Explanation:
The Cisco Video Surveillance Video Encoder Card converts video from analog cameras to a digital format,
thereby allowing you to use existing analog cameras while transitioning to an IP-based video surveillance
network. Full frame rate video can be captured on all analog channels. Encoder Card models with eight ports
and 16 ports are available.
Alternatively, you can use Cisco Video Surveillance Encoding Server to convert video from analog cameras to a
digital format. Cisco Video Surveillance Encoding Server is a component of the Cisco Video Surveillance
Manager (VSM). Cisco VSM consists of the following primary components:
Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server
Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager
Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix
Cisco Video Surveillance Encoding Server
Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server distributes, archives, and manages video feeds. Video streams are sent
from IP cameras and from encoders connected to analog cameras to the Media Server, which replicates those
streams to viewers as needed. Both Cisco and third-party cameras and encoders are supported.Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager is responsible for centralized configuration and management of
video-based resources. The Operations Manager provides secure web-based consoles that can be used to
manage multiple Media Servers, Virtual Matrixes, cameras, encoders, and users.
Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix provides flexible control of video that can be delivered to any number of
monitors. Video that is stored on the Media Server can be aggregated and displayed on one or more monitors
throughout the network. Triggers can be configured so that video can be delivered when a particular event
happens, such as the activation of a fire alarm or a motion sensor.
Cisco Video Surveillance Encoding Server is an all-in-one appliance that can encode, distribute, manage, and
archive video feeds. Each server can encode up to 64 channels and store up to 24 TB of video. The Encoding
Server can be used on its own or alongside Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager.Cisco: Cisco Video Surveillance Video Encoder Card
