OPTEX 12 Channel Visual Verification Bridge CKB-312

OPTEX is expanding its Intelligent Visual Verification solution by introducing a 12 Channel Visual Verification Bridge (Model: CKB-312). This powerful gateway is the new hardware device that allows security professionals to connect ONVIF compatible cameras and alarm sensors to the Cloud based Visual Verification Portal powered by CHeKT.

Aimed primarily to monitored alarm systems, the solution provides central station operators the ability to visually verify alarm threats within seconds, and respond accordingly. When installed and maintained properly, this system can eliminate 100% of false dispatches and dramatically increase customer satisfaction and retention. The solution allows the operator to share video alarm event with the site emergency contacts to validate or dismiss the alarm.

The CKB-312 allows the integrator to pair up to 12 cameras with 12 sensors for visual verification of events. It simplifies the installation for larger sites using a single device to transmit twelve event driven cameras feeds. Installing the CKB312 as an alarm panel module, is a cost-effective way to add video to existing intruder systems, using the legacy equipment and to build new visual verified security systems.

In addition, a smart-phone App is available, allowing end users the option to have a professionally installed and self-monitored visual verification solution.

“The 12 channel Bridge perfectly complements the existing 4 channel Bridge and gives more options to the installer. Offering a cost-effective solution to add video to monitored alarm systems increases the benefits significantly to the end users. Integrators can confidently bring the security solution outside by adding external intrusion sensors to deter any break-ins,” said Rob Blair, CEO of Optex Inc.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
