VPort 2141 Video Encoder User’s Manual Introduction
1-2
Overview
The VPort 2141 video encoder is a high-performance networked video transmitter. Its powerful
VLIW DSP core and fully optimized algorithm compresses and transmits high quality video in
real-time over a standard TCP/IP network. In addition to providing basic video feeds, many
advanced features are also supported to assist the user in setting up surveillance functions for
online applications. The state-of-the-art design provides a good combination of stability,
robustness, ease-of-use, and flexibility.
Real-time Motion—JPEG compression
Video input can be compressed efficiently and quickly into packets of JPEG images. The
optimized compression engine creates excellent images that do not require a lot of memory space.
This is done without sacrificing remote monitoring capability or storage. Five levels of
compression ratio and three different image resolutions are provided to provide more versatility.
Robust system operation
The industrial, real-time operating system prevents hackers and viruses from wreaking havoc on
both Windows and Linux systems, and the on-board watchdog improves reliability by continually
monitoring the system’s operation.
Easy web access with a standard browser
Since the embedded web server allows users to access the VPort 2141 from anywhere over the
Internet using any popular web browser, there is no need to install new software to access the
VPort 2141. As long as you’re connected to the network, you will be able to view the images
recorded by your cameras.
User password protection
User password protection is provided to prevent malicious intruders from accessing your system.
Once the administrator password is configured, all users will need a password to access the VPort
2141.
Built-in VMD (Video Motion Detection)
External sensors are not required, since the video channel can be configured to detect motion,
making it easy to set up a security system in either your home or office. The customizable settings
allow you to tune the system for both object size and sensitivity, making the VPort 2141 adaptable
to different environments.
Weekly schedule for automated surveillance
A user-defined surveillance schedule will repeat weekly to check security settings and send
notifications or drive external devices, making it easy to install the VPort 2141 in SOHOs, retail
shops, and home security systems.
Flexible I/O control for external devices
One opto-isolated sensor input and one relay output are provided to control external devices,
giving system integrators the option of turning an analog system into an advanced security system.
MOXA SoftDVR™ Lite IP Surveillance Software
To extend the VPort 2141’s capabilities, MOXA SoftDVR Lite IP Surveillance Software, which
supports a maximum of 4 cameras in quad, is included free of charge, allowing users to turn their
PC into a digital video recorder. Scheduling or one-click recording saves important images on
your local hard disk, and the reliable motion detection and instant warning features make you
ready for any situation. A quick and easy to use search and playback function lets you easily find
the image you’re looking for, so that you can inspect the images more carefully, and also save the
output to an AVI file.
Remote system upgrade
Users of the VPort 2141 will have round-the-clock access to the most up-to-date firmware on our
website, with a free upgrade wizard included to facilitate firmware installation.
