Pelco NET6516-US 16-Channel Analog-to-IP Video Encoder

The Pelco NET6516-US is a professional-grade analog-to-IP video encoder that converts legacy CCTV camera signals into H.264 and MJPEG IP streams. Designed for organizations migrating from analog surveillance infrastructure to IP-based video management systems, this 16-channel encoder eliminates the need to replace existing analog cameras while enabling integration with modern VMS platforms including Pelco VideoXpert and ONVIF-compatible systems.

Installation Considerations

Analog cameras require separate power supplies; the NET6516-US does not provide PoE to camera inputs. Plan network bandwidth allocation for 16 concurrent IP streams based on selected codec and resolution. For single-channel applications, Pelco offers the NET5501-US as an alternative. The encoder is engineered for professional installation and supports enterprise-grade surveillance deployments in commercial and industrial environments.
