VPort 25 User’s Manual System Configuration

Step 3: Wait a few seconds for QuickTime Player to establish the connection.
Step 4: After the connection has been established, the VPort 25’s video will appear in the
QuickTime Player display window.
NOTE
The video performance of the VPort 25 in other media players may not always be the same. For
example, you will notice a greater delay when viewing the VPort 25’s video from QuickTime
player compared to viewing it directly from the VPort 25’s built-in web server. In addition,
viewing the VPort 25’s video from Quicktime player through a router or Internet gateway could
result in a broken connection.
NOTE
For the time being, the VPort 25’s RTSP video/audio stream can be identified and viewed by
Apple QuickTime Ver. 6.5 and above, and VLC media player. System integrators can use these 2
media players to view the VPort 25’s video directly, without needing to use the VPort’s SDK to
create customized software.
SMTP Server and Email Account Settings
The VPort not only plays the role of server, but can also connect to outside servers to send alarm
messages and snapshots. If the administrator has set up some applications in either system
information or alarm, the VPort will send out messages or snapshots once these conditions occur.
