Will the GXV3500 Decode/Encoder be compatible with third party cameras?
•
Encode Mode: (Analogue Camera)
Generally, most 3rd party analogue cameras will be digitized to IP Camera when connecting to
GXV3500 BNC port at Encode Mode.
•
Decode Mode: (IP Camera)
Whether GXV3500 can decode the data stream from a 3rd party IP camera is dependent on how
the stream was encoded. GXV3500 utilizes the RTSP stream and is capable ONLY H.264 formats
decoding (so MJPEG is out of luck). General rule of thumb is if the RTSP stream of 3rd party IP
Camera can be viewed by
GXV3500 will very likely be able to decode the stream, but no guarantee due to the variety of
H.264 encoding implementation by different IP Camera vendors.
