SWIFTBox P Series

Edge-side intelligent compression gateways for distributed sites. From a 150-gram single-stream device on a solar-powered pole to a 16-channel aggregation gateway in a branch equipment room — the same compression core, sized to the site.

SWIFTBox P1 single-stream edge compression gateway
P1 — single stream

Built for the edge that has nothing to work with

Remote water monitoring stations, field poles and standalone cameras where power is scarce and the link is a metered 4G connection. The P1 compresses a 1080P stream to roughly 0.5 Mbps on 3.6 watts, in a package that weighs 150 grams.

  • 10:1 compression — bandwidth and data tariff collapse together.
  • Solar friendly — 3.6 W typical draw does not change array sizing.
  • Packet-loss tolerant — designed so that jitter on unstable links never corrupts the picture.
  • Timestamp aligned — footage stays usable as evidence after compression.
  • Wired and 5G variants — 85 × 85 × 20 mm wired, 122 × 98 × 38 mm cellular.
  • Transparent to the back end — the original platform sees the same H.264/H.265 stream it always did.
SWIFTBox P2 / P4 edge compression appliance reverse
P2 / P4 — branch scale

Replaces the NVR, keeps the platform

Banking branches, retail stores and ATM sites with two to four cameras and a retention rule that local storage cannot satisfy. The P2/P4 compresses at the edge, uploads to head office, and removes the local recorder from the estate entirely.

  • Built-in TF micro-storage — industrial-grade card interface buffers uploads during link outages.
  • Cloud-edge dual stream policy — local retention for spot checks, half-bandwidth flow to head office for central retention.
  • Visual front-end operations — on-board web dashboard showing input and output bitrate curves and two-way quality comparison.
  • Narrowband proven — multiple streams retrieved concurrently over public-network narrowband without stuttering.
  • Single management view — every site reports into the central operations plane.
SWIFTBox P8 8-channel compression gateway
P8 / P16 — head end

Eight to sixteen channels with national-standard cascading

Higher-density branch and head-end sites that still have no machine room. The P8 and P16 compress up to sixteen concurrent streams, aggregate them with built-in GB/T 28181 cascading, and hand off to head office over the existing dedicated line.

  • Full-channel concurrency — 8 or 16 channels of 1080P or 4K simultaneously.
  • Built-in active cascading — integrates with GB/T 28181, managing downstream resources and pushing upward across network segments.
  • Physically isolated dual network planes — high-throughput internal aggregation kept physically separate from the upstream path.
  • Zero architecture change — in-place replacement with unchanged addressing and planning impact.
  • Very high ROI — existing cabling and dedicated lines remain as they are while retention extends.

Applications

Where the P Series is deployed

Distributed branch networks

Hundreds of small sites each with two to four cameras and long statutory retention.

Finance & retail

Branches, ATM sites and chain stores where the dedicated line is the bottleneck.

Off-grid and remote

Solar-powered poles and unmanned monitoring stations with metered wireless links.

Industrial peripherals

Outbuildings, gates and perimeter positions too far from the main equipment room.
