Z3 Technology CamL2-15 Dual-Camera Embedded Video Encoder – H.265/H.264, 1080p60, Camera Link & LVDS Inputs, Thermal/Visible Support, Low Latency, PoE

Quick Overview
The Z3 Technology CamL2‑15, made in the USA, is a compact dual‑camera H.265/H.264 encoder board featuring Camera Link SDR (85 MHz), KEL LVDS, and composite inputs. Delivers 1080p60 low‑latency streaming with PoE, 100 Mbps Ethernet, SRT, STANAG 4609, and secure web/API control for UAV, ISR, and industrial applications.

The NDAA compliant Z3 Technology CamL2-15, proudly made in the USA, is a high-performance H.265/H.264 embedded encoder board built for dual-camera real-time streaming. Supporting Camera Link input up to 85 MHz with 8–16-bit monochrome, RGB, or YUV formats, it also includes a KEL LVDS input for visible and thermal cameras such as Sony, Tamron, FLIR Tau2, Boson+, and DRS modules, plus composite input for legacy sources.

The CamL2-15 delivers 1080p60 and 720p60 dual H.265/H.264 streams, supporting protocols like RTP, RTSP, MPEG‑2 TS, RTMP(S), TSRTP, and SRT for flexible IP transmission. With compact 75 × 50 mm dimensions and 4.5 W typical power draw, it’s engineered for UAV, UGV, robotics, and ISR video systems where SWaP and reliability matter.

Built in America for mission-critical performance, the CamL215 offers micro‑SD/NFS recording, ONVIF and API control, AES 128/192/256 encryption, MISB/STANAG compliance, and AI readiness for secure, low‑bandwidth HD video at the edge.
