VPort 251 User’s Manual System Configuration

NOTE

The video performance of the VPort 251 in other media players may not always be the same. For

example, you will notice a greater delay when viewing the VPort 251’s video from QuickTime

player compared to viewing it directly from the VPort 251’s built-in web server. In addition,

viewing the VPort 251’s video from Quicktime player through a router or Internet gateway could

result in a broken connection.

NOTE

For the time being, the VPort 251’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 251’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.
