Aaeon AEC-VS01 Box PC in-vehicle video surveillance camera controller

Aaeon has released the entry-level fanless AEC-VS01 Box PC specially designed for IP Camera interfacing and control applications. Controlling cameras via the AEC-VS01 ensures security by continuously monitoring and marking events that occur throughout a transport route, making it suitable for schools, public transport and shipping companies.

The device is based on the Intel Atom D2550 processor multicore processor and provides an energy-efficient processing platform. It is equipped with one SODIMM socket supporting up to 4 GB of DDR3 800/1066 system memory, two Gigabit RJ-45 Ethernet ports plus four PoE (Power-Over-Ethernet) ports, four USB 2.0 ports, three RS-232 ports and one RS-232/422/485 port for communication. A 2.5″ SATA 6.0 Gbps hard drive can be internally mounted for operating system and data storage while an internal CFast slot will support the next-generation Compact Flash storage cards. System expansion is also possible via an internal Mini-Card slot, allowing optional wireless LAN/Bluetooth or GPRS/3G interfaces to be installed. The product provides VGA video output for graphics displays.

The four PoE ports allow users to easily install IP cameras anywhere without the need for a local power source. This simplifies cable installation and reduces the total cost of video surveillance systems and their maintenance. Its compact size and vibration-resistant, rugged aluminium case make the unit suitable for vehicle installation.
