Altronix T1PHK3ESCK1 8DR ALTRNIX/OPENPATH FOR ESCS
Overview
The Altronix T1PHK3ESCK1 is an 8-channel video encoder module designed to integrate legacy analog CCTV cameras into modern IP-based access control systems, specifically the Openpath ESC (Embedded Security Controller) series. This unit addresses the common deployment challenge of leveraging existing analog camera infrastructure without a full system rip-and-replace. It translates analog video streams into a digital format compatible with Openpath's platform, allowing for unified security management and event correlation within a single interface. The T1PHK3ESCK1 is intended for installations where upgrading all cameras to IP is cost-prohibitive or impractical, but enhanced security features and centralized management are required.
Compatibility
This encoder module is engineered for direct integration with Openpath ESC series controllers. It is designed to interface with standard analog CCTV cameras that output composite video signals. The module translates these signals for transmission over an IP network to the Openpath ESC, enabling video viewing, recording, and event association within the Openpath ecosystem. It is not compatible with IP cameras directly; its function is to encode analog sources.
Installation Notes
Installation requires connecting up to eight composite analog video inputs from cameras to the module's BNC connectors. Power is supplied via a 12VDC input, typically sourced from a central power distribution unit. The module then connects to the local area network via an Ethernet port, allowing it to communicate with the Openpath ESC. Proper network configuration is essential for video stream delivery and system integration. Ensure the module is placed within its operating temperature range of 0°C to 49°C (32°F to 120°F).
