A video multiplexer is a device that helps us to put video recording of signals from various security cameras on one cassette. It handles several video signals at the same time. Video multiplexers can split a monitor into various display areas which will combine output signals from several cameras to a single monitor. The main features that used in video multiplexer are the time and date stamp that allow us to know when any recorded activity took place. An alarm output and Motion detection.
The ability of video multiplexer can be used with our computer software. It can be use with either color or black-and-white cameras. There are different Types of Video Multiplexers are available like Simplex, Duplex and Triplex. Video multiplexers are used in many closed circuit television and video observation applications.
