The Viewtron IP-HDMI-E1 is an HDMI to RTSP encoder takes video from an HDMI video source and converts the video to real time streaming protocol format (RTSP) so it can be sent over an IP network. We typically supply this HDMI to IP encoder with one or more
Viewtron IP to TV decoders to send the live security camera view from Viewtron DVRs and NVRs to one or more TVs. This enables customers to view all of the security cameras connected to their DVR or NVR on one of more TVs, in addition to or instead of a monitor that is connected directly to the DVR / NVR.
HDMI to RTSP Encoder for Security Camera Live View Monitor
By using a Viewtron HDMI to IP RTSP encoder and pairing it with a
Viewtron IP-HDMI-E4 decoder, you can send the entire live video display of your Viewtron DVR or NVR to one or more monitors on your local network. You can also send your DVR's HDMI video display to a monitor at a remote location over the Internet if you setup port forwarding on your router. You can display a live view of all of the security cameras on your system to a local or remote monitor over IP network.
This is how it works.
- The Viewtron IP cameras are connected to a Viewtron NVR for typical security recording and operations. Please note that you can also use a Viewtron hybrid BNC DVR with CCTV and analog HD cameras for this application instead of an IP camera system.
- The HDMI output of the DVR or NVR is connected to the HDMI input of the Viewtron IP-HDMI-E1 encoder.
- The Viewtron IP-HDMI-E1 is connected to a network switch or router using CAT5 or CAT6 network cable.
- A Viewtron IP-HDMI-D4 IP to HDMI decoder is connected to the same local area network as the encoder. This can be done by connecting it to the same network switch or router via network cable (CAT5 or CAT6).
- The IP decoder can now connect to the IP video stream of the IP-HDMI-E1 encoder over the local network and convert the video into an HDMI signal.
- The HDMI output of the decoder box is connected to an HDMI input on the TV using a standard HDMI cable.
When the user wants to see their security camera live on the TV, they can simply select the HDMI input on the TV.
Connect DVR HDMI Output to Multiple TVs over IP
You can also use multiple Viewtron IP-HDMI-D4 decoders with one Viewtron IP-HDMI-E1 encoder so that you can send the HDMI output of your DVR or NVR to more than one TV monitor over an IP network. This creates a one-to-many "HDMI spot monitor over IP network solution". You can send your DVR's HDMI video display to multiple monitors on-site where the DVR is located and / or to a remote monitor location over the Internet if you setup port forwarding on your router.

- The IP decoders can now connect to the IP video stream of the IP-HDMI-E1 encoder over the local network and convert the video back into the HDMI output of the DVR.
- The HDMI output of the decoder boxes are connected to the HDMI input of each TV using a standard HDMI cable.
When the user wants to see the HDMI output of their security camera DVR live on the TV, they can simply select the HDMI input on the TV.
HDMI over Internet (remote TV Display)
In addition to enabling live TV display over IP on a LAN (local area network), our Viewtron HDMI over Ethernet kit can also be setup to send an HDMI signal over the Internet to a remote TV monitor. This is done by setting up port forwarding on your router so that the IP signal from the HDMI encoder can leave your local network and travel across the Internet.
This is how it works. Please note that in the above diagram the space on the left that has a gray background is a separate physical site and network from the space on the left with the white background.
- The installation has 4 security cameras connected to the DVR / NVR. This is the site on the left with the gray background.
- The HDMI output the DVR is connected the Viewtron IP-HDMI-E1 encoder.
- The Ethernet port of the HDMI encoder is connected to network router using CAT5 or CAT6 cable.
- Port forwarding is setup on the router so the Viewtron IP-HDMI-D4 can connect to it from remotely over the Internet.
- The remote location where the remote TV display is located is on the right with the white background. The remote site has a network router / modem also.
- The VIewtron IP-HDMI-D4 decoder is connected to that router and setup to connect to the IP-HDMI-E1 at the security camera system location using that site's Internet / WAN IP address and port forwarded network port.
- The HDMI output of each decoder / receiver is connected to a TV monitor.
- The TV now displays a live security camera view of the entire HDMI output of the DVR at the remote camera location on the left (gray).
