A CCTV encoder converts the picture from analogue cameras into IP streams, so they can be recorded over the network. It lets you keep working cameras while moving to an IP system.
How do I choose an encoder?
Channels: count how many analogue cameras you need to convert.
Recorder: make sure your NVR has spare channels for the encoded streams.
Starting fresh? Compare with a DVR, which records coax cameras directly.
