Axis Communications 02036-004 16-channel Video Encoder

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 02036-004 is a 16-channel video encoder designed to integrate analog cameras into IP-based surveillance networks. It converts analog video signals from up to 16 cameras into digital streams that can be transmitted over a standard network infrastructure. This type of device is commonly deployed during network migration projects, allowing existing analog camera investments to remain in service alongside newer IP equipment. Installation and configuration are typically handled by licensed security integrators or network technicians familiar with video management systems.

The 02036-004 is suited for medium to large-scale commercial and institutional deployments where analog camera infrastructure is already in place. Typical applications include facilities undergoing a phased transition to full IP video surveillance, where replacing all analog cameras at once is not practical. The encoder feeds digital streams to a video management server or network video recorder, preserving existing camera coverage while enabling IP-based monitoring and recording.

Key Features

• Supports up to 16 analog video channels simultaneously
• Converts analog camera signals to IP video streams for network transmission
• Enables integration of legacy analog cameras into modern IP surveillance systems
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solution for integration into IP-based video management systems that accept standard network video encoder inputs. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified security integrator or network technician. Power down or disconnect any associated recording equipment before connecting or reconfiguring encoder inputs. Network configuration, including IP address assignment and stream settings, should be completed per the manufacturer datasheet and your site video management system requirements. Follow all applicable local codes and network security best practices during deployment.
