The GXV3500 video encoder+decoder+PAS 3-in-1 device combines advanced single channel H.264 real time video compression or decompression functions at up to D1 resolution and up to 30fps in a single box. In addition, it features two-way audio paging and video streaming using SIP/VoIP, integrated PoE (Power over Ethernet), serial port for PTZ camera control, microphone input, audio/video output, alarm inputs & outputs, pre- and post-event recording buffer, as well as advanced encryption for security protection. Compactly designed, the GXV3500 fully conforms to ONVIF industry standard for broad interoperability with a large number of ONVIF compliant video management systems (VMS) in the market. The GXV3500 can also be managed with Gsurf, Grandstream’s free video management software that controls up to 36 cameras simultaneously.

The GXV3500 can also function as both a voice and video PAS for office floors, lobbies, shopping malls, warehouses, waiting rooms, supermarkets, public transportation stations, etc. Users can speak from an attached external microphone, or call into the device from a SIP IP phone to make voice announcements or supply digital background music to public areas through an external loudspeaker (with integrated power amplifier), or call into the device from a SIP video phone to make live video announcement or video advertisement on a TV connected with the GXV3500 from anywhere in the world.

“We are pleased to announce this 3-in-1 combo device that allows SMBs to preserve their investment in traditional CCTV analogue cameras with the new capability to remotely display live video on a TV or use it as a voice/video public announcement system over an IP network,” said David Li, CEO of Grandstream Networks. “Grandstream solutions are all about making it easy and affordable for businesses to take advantage of voice, video and surveillance technology to improve their operations, communications and security within their organisations,” he added.
