Introduction

The rugged VPort 254 is a 4-channel industrial video encoder that provides up to 120 FPS at CIF resolution (NTSC: 352 x 240; PAL: 352 x 288), and supports an optional MJPEG/MPEG4 algorithm, making it especially well suited for use with distributed surveillance systems in critical industrial applications. In addition, the VPort 254 supports serial-to-Ethernet and Modbus/TCP communications for integrating automation systems, and 2-way audio is provided to allow real-time communication between system administrators located at a central site and engineers in the field.

Rugged Design for Mission-critical Industrial Environments 
  • Operates reliably in -40 to 75°C environments (T models)
  • Built-in single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic Ethernet port (media converter not required)
  • More reliable with redundant 12/24 VDC and 24 VAC power inputs
  • Metal form factor with IP30 protection against dust
  • DIN-Rail mounting installation suitable for industrial environments
  • UL508 certified for industrial environments
Advanced Network Protocols for Efficient Network Transmission and Integration
  • Modbus/TCP for easy communication with SCADA software
  • Standard RTSP (real-time streaming protocol) video streaming for easy integration
  • Multicast (IGMP) protocols for efficient network transmission
  • SNMPv1/v2c/v3 MIB-II for easy network management
  • QoS (ToS) for configuring the transmission priority of video streams
  • UPnP, DDNS, and IP filtering supported
