Moxa VPort 16-M12 Introduction
1-2
Overview
The VPort 16-M12 is a compact, fixed-IP camera with EN 50155:2007 compliance that is specially designed for
rolling stock CCTV applications. In addition to the -25 to 55°C operating temperature, IP66 rain and dust
protection, anti-vibration M12 Ethernet connector, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), and metal housing with glass
lens cover, the VPort 16-M12 also has a built-in dehumidifying membrane for dissipating moisture trapped
inside the camera and keeping other moisture out. This innovative design greatly reduces the impact of
moisture on the lens.
To provide good video quality, the VPort 16-M12 uses a 1/3" CCD image sensor and advanced 3D-deinterlacing
hardware enhancements, making it suitable for most lighting conditions. A maximum of 2 H.264 and 1 MJPEG
video streams are provided by the VPort 16-M12. In addition, Moxa’s DynaStream™ function allows you to
change the video frame rate automatically, which can help you control your network bandwidth budget and
ease network system management. The VPort 16-M12 also has a built-in SDHC slot for installing an SD card to
provide up to 32 GB of local storage.
The VPort 16-M12 supports both surface mounting and embedded mounting, and for different viewing angles
and distance requirements, 5 lens types with focal length from 3 mm to 16 mm are provided. Moreover, the
camera head can be calibrated according to the scale on the camera and can be rotated 360° horizontally and
90° vertically, and DHCP opt 66/67 is also supported for automatic configuration, making mass installation a
much easier task.
High Quality 1/3” Sony CCD sensor with advanced 3D de-interlacing
The VPort 16-M12 IP camera uses a 1/3” Sony CCD sensor with high sensitivity to light, especially in a low
illumination (lux) environment. To eliminate interlacing artifacts, a dedicated de-interlacing chip featuring
advanced 3D de-interlacing is used for processing to progressive video monitors.
Comes with 5 fixed focal length lenses, to meet a variety of viewing requirements
The VPort 16-M12 IP camera is designed for rolling stock IP CCTV applications. For different viewing angle
requirements, it comes with 5 fixed focal length lenses to satisfy most application needs: 3.0mm, 3.6mm,
6.0mm, 8.0mm and 16mm.
High Performance H.264/MPEG4 Video Compression
Video input can be efficiently compressed into H.264/MJPEG video stream packets in real time. This is done
without sacrificing remote monitoring capability or storage. Five levels of compression quality and four different
image resolutions provide greater versatility.
Three video streams for meeting versatile application requirements
VPort 16-M12 is a powerful IP Camera. Aside from the high quality H.264 video compression, it can also
generate a maximum of three video streams: two H.264 and one MJPEG simultaneously, to meet the needs of
specific applications. For example, the user can view the h.264 video streams with full D1 resolution at 30FPS,
do MJPEG image analysis with full D1 resolution at 10FPS, and record the H.264 video streams with CIF
resolution at 30FPS.
Video latency under 200ms (milliseconds) for more real-time video
In some mission critical environments, low video latency is a key requirement. For example, a highway
transportation system monitors vehicles that are moving very quickly. The video display in the traffic control
center needs to reflect actual current traffic conditions. Therefore, the video latency must be under 200ms.
