Z3 Technology CamL-15 H.265/H.264 Dual-Camera Encoder – Camera Link & SDI Input, 1080p60, Low Latency Streaming, PoE, SRT, MISB/STANAG, ISR-Ready
The Z3 Technology Z3 CamL‑15 is a compact, low‑latency dual‑input video encoder Made in the USA and fully NDAA compliant, delivering secure, real‑time video performance for ISR, UAV, defense, and security surveillance applications. This rugged encoder supports H.265/HEVC, H.264, and MJPEG compression, ensuring efficient, high‑quality video streaming even in bandwidth‑constrained environments.
Designed for versatility, the Z3 CamL15 supports both Camera Link (SDR) and 3G‑SDI camera interfaces, with resolutions up to 1080p60. Operators can stream simultaneously over RTP, RTSP, SRT, RTMP/RTMPS, and other industry‑standard protocols while maintaining low‑latency performance crucial for real‑time situational awareness.
Built for rugged and embedded environments, the CamL‑15 offers dual‑channel encoding, PoE or 12V DC power options, and flexible recording to micro‑SD card or network file systems. Advanced network and security features include AES‑128/192/256 encryption, SNMPv2/v3, and support for STANAG 4609 and MISB 0601/0604 metadata standards.
Engineered with long‑term reliability in mind, the Z3 CamL‑15 enables API and HTTP/HTTPS GUI control, multiple configurable serial ports, and Pelco D control via RS‑485. Its AI‑ready architecture supports edge analytics and intelligent video processing at the source — helping integrators and OEMs accelerate deployment for mission‑critical operations.
