Indigovision’s new BX100 four channel encoder is engineered to bring high-end performance to mid-range markets by migrating mid-range DVRs to IP.

“The security industry thinks analog is dead, but there are millions of analog cameras still used worldwide. Most are in mid-range systems that are 20 cameras or less.” stated Marcus Kneen, Indigovision’s Chief Executive Officer. “The mid-range market has been late to adopt IP video, instead using digital video recorders (DVRs) to manage and record analog cameras. The DVR is usually the weak point, outdated technology with low quality video recordings and the inability to handle High Definition (HD) or megapixel IP cameras. We’re seeing a strong desire to migrate from mid-range DVRs to IP. Until now, the price has been too high or the technology performance too restricted.”

The new Indigovision BX100 four channel encoder has been designed as a gateway for mid-range installations to an HD ready, future-proofed security system.

Marcus continued, “The BX100 is perfectly priced for the mid-range market. It may have a lower price, there’s no compromise on performance. Every camera input gives full frame rate, full resolution, and better quality video than a DVR.”

“Encoding analog cameras to IP is just one part of the security system, the video still needs to be recorded and managed,” stated Paul Murphy, Indigovision’s Head of Marketing. “Other manufacturers focus on either encoding and recording hardware, or management software. Indigovision develops all of these, and each is optimized to work together, giving a security system that’s HD ready and future-proofed.”
