Axis M7116 16-Channel Video Encoder

The Axis 02036-004 is a sixteen channel video encoder that lets you move from analog to IP surveillance at the pace that suits your budget and schedule. Connect any analog camera, including models with pan tilt zoom, and the unit digitizes NTSC or PAL signals into smooth 30 frame per second streams you can view or record through your existing video management software.

Zipstream support for H.264 and H.265 keeps image detail clear while trimming bandwidth and storage requirements, an advantage when you need to archive long stretches of footage. Two SD card slots add on-board edge storage, so recording continues even if the network link drops.

Security is built in from the start. Secure boot and signed firmware block unauthorized code, and encryption protects data in transit. An RS-485 port retains full control of your PTZ cameras, while the rack-friendly housing slips into standard equipment cabinets to keep installations tidy.

Whether you are a small shop owner who wants to reuse reliable analog cameras, a school upgrading legacy infrastructure, or a multi-site operator who needs a phased migration plan, this encoder provides a straightforward path to modern IP capabilities without discarding hardware that still works.
