Panasonic WJ-GXE500E Network Video Encoder
The Panasonic WJ-GXE500E is a single-channel network video encoder delivering dual H.264 and JPEG streams at VGA/D1 resolution. PoE power, SD card recording, and coaxial PTZ control make it ideal for integrating legacy analogue CCTV systems into modern IP-based security networks.Overview
The Panasonic WJ-GXE500E bridges analogue and IP-based security systems, converting standard coaxial camera feeds into H.264 and JPEG IP streams for network transmission and recording. Its flexible dual-stream architecture and motion-adaptive frame processing deliver clear, efficient video in both fixed and PTZ camera installations.
Key Features
- Full-frame H.264 transmission for each channel
- Dual streams: H.264 (High profile) and JPEG at VGA/D1
- Motion-adaptive interlace/progressive conversion for clear motion

Frequently Asked Questions
How does built-in SD card recording add value over just network streaming?
SD card storage provides local backup recording independent of the network, ensuring video is captured even if the network goes down, improving reliability.
What does VGA/D1 resolution mean for security footage?
VGA (640×480) and D1 (720×480) are standard analog resolutions; they provide adequate clarity for monitoring and incident review in most security applications.
Can I use this encoder with an old analog CCTV system?
Yes, it bridges legacy analog cameras and systems to modern IP networks without replacing existing equipment, saving cost.
How does PoE power simplify installation compared to separate power?
PoE eliminates the need for a separate power supply, requiring only one Ethernet cable to the camera location, reducing installation time and expense.
What is coaxial PTZ control and why is it useful?
The encoder passes PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) commands from your network software to the analog camera via the existing coax cable, letting you control the camera from a modern interface.
For which security scenarios is this encoder ideal?
It works well for organisations modernising older analog systems gradually, remote locations requiring local backup recording, or systems where wired Ethernet is limited.
What video specifications does this encoder deliver?
The Panasonic WJ-GXE500E outputs dual H.264 and JPEG streams at VGA/D1 resolution.
How much video can the SD card store?
Contact Procure.ae for SD card capacity specifications, frame rate information, and typical recording duration estimates.
What warranty and support does this encoder include?
Contact Procure.ae for Panasonic warranty terms and technical support for this video encoder in the GCC.
How quickly can this encoder be delivered to UAE locations?
Procure.ae supplies the Panasonic WJ-GXE500E across the UAE and GCC; contact for availability and lead time.
Can Procure.ae help integrate this encoder into our existing security system?
Yes, professional installation, network configuration, and integration with legacy and modern systems can be arranged.
