Optex PIE-1 PoE and IP Encoder for PoE Power and IP Integrations

Streamline perimeter security and alarm-driven monitoring with the Optex PIE-1 PoE and IP encoder. This compact video encoder converts analog relay outputs from Redwall and Fiber SenSys detectors into native Redwall Event Code (ASCII), allowing Video Management Software (VMS) to automatically reposition cameras, start recording, or execute preset responses. Built for modern surveillance networks, the PIE-1 supports PoE power delivery (IEEE802.3af/at), reducing cabling and installation labor by using one LAN connection to supply power and data. The unit is outdoor-rated and wall-mountable, and it accepts common detector power inputs (12V/24V DC), making it flexible for commercial, government, and industrial security installations. By bridging legacy photoelectric beam detectors to IP-based monitoring systems, the Optex PIE-1 helps security teams improve situational awareness and accelerate incident response. Ideal for perimeter protection, critical infrastructure, and large-site surveillance integrations—add the PIE-1 to your security architecture to simplify VMS integration and enhance automated camera control.

• Seamlessly converts analog relay outputs into Redwall ASCII event codes so VMS platforms can trigger cameras and recordings automatically
• Reduces installation time and cost with single-cable PoE support (IEEE802.3af/at) to power the encoder and connected detectors
• Enables integrated surveillance workflows by linking Redwall and Fiber SenSys detectors to leading VMS solutions for reliable alarm-driven monitoring
• Outdoor-ready, wall-mount form factor designed for perimeter and industrial security deployments, minimizing additional enclosure needs
• Supports detector power options and legacy relay inputs, simplifying migration from analog to IP-based security systems
