Chapter 1 Introduction
The VPort 25 series of high-performance IP cameras can handle basic video feeds, and support
many advanced features for setting up surveillance or web attraction applications. The VPort 25
series is designed for outdoor applications that require a rugged form factor, high video
performance, and easy-to-use functions.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:

Prod uct Description
VPort 25 User’s Manual Introduction
1-2
Overview
The VPort 25 is a vandal-proof, IP66-rated, fixe d dome IP camera for use in harsh, outdoor
environments. With a maximum resolution of 520 TVL and day-and-night CCD camera lens, the
VPort 25 is especially well-suited for high performance video surveillance applications. To meet
the outdoor environment requirements, the VPort 25 is IP66-rated to protect it against dust and
rain. In addition, the vandal-proof form factor prevents damage from unexpected external forces,
and the case-open sensor sends an alarm message when the VPort 25’s outer case is opened
without permission.
IP66-rated form factor design for protection against dust and rain
The IP66-rated form factor design makes the VPort 25 suitable for use in outdoor environments,
without the need for additional protective housing. In addition, cable glands are provided free of
charge to ensure that attached cables also have IP66-rated protection.
Support for both PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) and direct-wired power inputs
The VPort 25 supports standard 48 VDC power-ove r- Et her n et (IEE E 80 2. 3af), plus a direct-wired
12/24 VDC or 24 VAC power input. The two types of power input can be used to together to
provide power redundancy.
High resolution Day & Night CCD camera lens
The VPort 25 cameras are equipped with a high resolution Day & Night CCD camera lens and
Sony Exview or SuperHAD DSP, which can support up to 520 TVL resolution. Both Sony Exview
and SuperHAD are high resolution video DSP, but Exview’s video quality is better than
SuperHAD, especially in low illumination environments.
High Performance MJPEG/MPEG4 compression
Video input can be efficiently compressed into MJPEG/MPEG4 video stream packets without
delay. This is all done without sacrificing remote monitoring capability or storage. Five levels of
compression quality and five different image resolutions are provided to provide greater
versatility.
2-way audio supported for a complete surveillance solution
The VPort 25 supports both audio input and audio output for voice over IP communication
between a field site and central site. The 2-way audio function not only saves time, but also saves
the cost of needing to add additional communication devices (such as a phone).
RTSP streaming for easy integration
RTSP (Real-time Streaming Protocol) is a client-server multimedia presentation control protocol,
which enables the interoperability of video devices and software. Hardware or software that
supports RTSP streaming can easily identify and decode the video stream without the hassle of
codec installation. For example, users can view video images from the VPort 25 directly with
Quick Time and VLC, both of which support RTSP streaming.
Multicast (IGMP) transmission for network efficiency
Transmitting digital video images via an IP network requires a dozen times the bandwidth required
for transmitting general data. For this reason, the efficiency of network bandwidth management is
one of the most important issues that determines the performance of a video over IP surveillance
system. The VPort 25 supports multicast transmission with IGMP protocol, which can reduce the
bandwidth requirements when multiple clients access the same video stream, and greatly increases
the efficiency of network bandwidth management.
VPort 25 User’s Manual Introduction
1-3
Easy web access using standard browsers
There is no need to install new software to access the video encoder, since the embedded web
server allows users to use any popular web browser to access the video encoder from anywhere
over the Internet. As long as you are connected to the network, you will be able to view the same
images seen by your cameras.
Support for SNMP V1, V2c, and V3 for easy network management
More and more IP devices are networked for use on one TCP/IP network. To make management
and maintenance easier, SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) can be used to monitor
all of these IP devices.
Built-in 3 area-selectable Video Motion Detection (VMD)
External sensors are not required, since the video channel can be configured to detect motion in 3
areas, making it easy to set up a security system in either your office or the field. And the
customizable settings allow you to tune the system for both object size and sensitivity, making the
video encoder adaptable to different environments.
Weekly schedule for automated surveillance
The user-defined time period will check security settings on a weekly basis, and send notifications
or drive external devices, making the VPort 25 suitable for more versatile applications.
Flexible I/O control for external devices
1 opto-isolated sensor inputs and 1 relay outputs are provided to control external devices, giving
system integrators the option of turning an analog system into an advanced security system.
A case-open sensor for triggering alarms
The VPort 25 has a built in case-open sensor for sending alarm messages if the upper case is
opened without permission. The alarm will be sent to the administrator’s email inbox, or trigger
the relay output.
Moxa SoftDVR Lite IP Surveillance Software
To extend the video camera’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.
SDK support for developers
The high-performance video encoder can be integrated into many applications—without busting
your budget—and the complete programming interface of Moxa VPort SDK PLUS makes the
developer’s job easy and straightforward. To ask about SDK requirements, please contact a Moxa
sales representative for details and an application form.

Wiring Requirements
ATTENTION
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your Moxa VPort 25.
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all
electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage
to your equipment.
You should also pay attention to the following:
y Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring
paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point. You can use
the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate.
The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled
together.
y Keep input wiring and out put wi ri n g se parated.
y It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system when necessary.

Functions Featured on the VPort’s Web Homepage
The homepage of the VPort’s web console shows information specific to that VPort, the camera
image, and configurations for client and server.
NOTE
The VPort’s web homepage is best viewed using a 1280 x 1024 screen size. This is because the
camera image can be viewed at a resolution up to Full D1 (NTSC: 720 x 4 80; PA L: 72 0 x 57 6 ).
We strongly recommend using IE 6.0 (Mi c r osoft Internet Explorer) or above to avoi d
incompatibility with the ActiveX Plug-in.
VPort’s Information
This section shows the VPort’s model name, server name, IP address, MAC address, firmware
version, and the display status of the System (State), and Video and Case open sensor (Case).
NOTE
The VPort LEDs shown on the VPort’s web homepage are updated every 2~3 seconds.

Server Name
A server name can be assigned to each server. Administrators can change the name in System
Configuration/System/General. The maximum length of the sever name is 40 bytes.
Camera Image View
The assigned image description and system date/time will be displayed in the caption above the
image window. You may disable the caption or change the location of the image information from
the System Configuration/Video/Image Setting. Note that if the VPort’s motion detection
function is active, some windows in the video picture might be framed in red.
Audio Control
The VPort 25 provides both audio input and audio output for voice over IP communication. Client
users can directly enable and disable the audio input (a microphone, for example) by clicking the
microphone button, and audio output (a speaker, for example) by clicking the speaker button from
the VPort’s web homepage. You may also use the Client Se ttin g to disable the audio
transmission.
Client Setting
Users can configure the following functions in Client Settings.
1. Media Options: Enable or disable the video or audio transmission.
2. Protocol Options: Choose one of four protocols to optimize your usage—UDP, TCP, HTTP,
or Multicast.
y UDP protocol can be used to produce audio and video streams that are more real-time. However,
some packets may be lost due to network burst traffic, and images may become blurred.
y TCP protocol can be used to prevent packet loss, which results in a more accurate video display.
The downside of using TCP is that the real-time effect is worse than with UDP protocol.
y HTTP protocol can be used to prevent being bl ocked by a router’s firewall. The downside of
using HTTP is that the real-time effect is worse than with UDP protocol.
y Multicast protocol can be used to send a single video stream to multiple clients. In this case, a
lot of bandwidth can be saved since only one video stream is transmitted over the network.
However, the network gateway (e.g., a switch) must support multicast protocol (e.g., IGMP
snooping). Otherwise, the multicast video transmission will not be successful.
Once the IP camera is connected successfully, Protocol Options will indicate the selected protocol.
The selected protocol will be recorded on the user’s PC, and will be used for the next connection.
NOTE
Protocol options are only available on the MPEG4 video compression. The MJPEG video
compression is only support the HTTP transmission.

Access Method
VPort products support the DHCP protocol, which means that VPort can get its IP address from a
DHCP server automatically when it is connected to a TCP/IP network. The Administrator should
determine if it is more appropriate to use DHCP, or assign a fixed IP.
Setting Description Default
Get IP address
automatically
VPort gets the IP address automatically
from the DHCP server.
Use fixed IP address
Use the IP address assigned by the
administrator.
Get IP address automatically
NOTE
We strongly recommend that the administrator assign a fixed IP address to the VPort, since all of
the functions and applications provided by the VPort are active when the VPort is connected to
the network. Use DHCP to determine if the VPort’s IP address may change when then network
environment changes, or the IP address is occupied by other clients.

RTSP Streaming
The VPort 25 supports standard RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) streaming, which means
that all devices and software that support RTSP can directly acquire and view the video images
sent from VPort 25 without any proprietary codec or SDK installations. This makes network
system integration much more convenient. For different connection types, the access name is
different. For UDP and TCP streams, the access name is udpStream. For HTTP streams, the
access name is moxa-cgi/udpStream. For multicast streams, the access name is multicastStream.
You can access the media through the following URL: rtsp://<IP address>:<RTSP
port>/<Access name> for software that supports RTSP.
Setting Description Default
RTSP Port
An R TSP port is sim ilar to a n HTTP port,
which can enable the connection of
video/audio streams by RTSP.
554
We use Apple QuickTime media player to illustrate RTSP streaming applications:
Step 1: Open Apple QuickTime Player and select File - Open URL in New Player.
Step 2: When the following pop-up window appears, type the URL in the input box. E.g., type
rtsp://<VPort 25’s IP address>:<RTSP Port>/udpstream
rtsp://<VPort 25’s IP address>:<RTSP Port>/multicaststream,
RTSP Port: 554 Is default and then click on OK to connect to the VPort 25.
VPort 25 User’s Manual System Configuration
4-12
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.

of the VPort. The system log will be sent to the Sender email address if the SMTP server settings
are correct. To send the system log via FTP, the SMTP server should be erased since the E-mail
system is used by default to transmit the system log.
NOTE
For either e-mail or FTP, the information of the 1st server should be entered first. If the 1st
server is not set, the related FTP or email will be cancelled. Note that it may take time to connect
to the 2nd server after the first server fails, and it may affect some applications when adverse
conditions occur too often.

Dynamic DNS
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is a combination of DHCP, DNS, and client
registration. DDNS allows administrators to alias VPort’s dynamic IP address to a static hostname
in any of the domains provided by the DDNS service providers listed on VPort’s Network/DDNS
configuration page. DDNS makes it easier to access VPort from various locations on the Internet.
Setting Description Default

NOTE
Dynamic DNS is a very useful tool for accessing VPort via the Internet, especially for xDSL
connections with a non-fixed IP address (DHCP). Administrator and users can avoid the trouble
of connecting with VPort when the IP address of VPort is not fixed by using the unique host
name in the URL to establish a connection with VPort.

Universal PnP
UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among
networking equipment, software, and peripherals of the 400+ vendors that are part of the Universal
Plug and Play Forum. This means that they are listed in the network devices table for the operating
system (such as Windows XP) supported by this function. Users can link to VPort directly by
clicking on the VPort listed in the network devices table.
Setting Description Default

Multicast
The VPort 25 supports the advanced Multicast network protocol IGMP, which can greatly improve
the efficiency of network traffic. In this section, we explain multicasts, multicast filtering, and how
multicast can be implemented on your VPort.
What is Multicast?
A multicast is a packet that is intended for “one-to-many” and “many-to-many” communication.
Users explicitly request to participate in the communication by joining an end-station to a specific
multicast group. If the network is set up correctly, a multicast can only be sent to an end-station or
a subset of end-stations on a LAN or VLAN that belong to the relevant multicast group. Multicast
group members can be distributed across multiple subnetworks. Therefore, multicast transmissions
can occur within a campus LAN or over a WAN. In addition, networks that support IP multicast
send only one copy of the desired information across the network. The packets are only replicated
if they reach a network node that links to two or more members of the multicast network.
Transmitting packets in this way makes more efficient use of network bandwidth. A multicast
packet is identified by the presence of a multicast group address in the destination address field of
the packet’s IP header.
Benefits of Multicast
The benefits of using IP multicast are that it:
y Enables the simultaneous delivery of information to many receivers in the most efficient,
logical way.
VPort 25 User’s Manual System Configuration
4-17
y Reduces the load on the source (for example, a server) because it does not need to produce
multiple copies of the same data.
y Makes efficient use of network bandwidth and scales well as the number of participants or
collaborators expands.
y Works with other IP protocols and services, such as Quality of Service (QoS).
y There are situations where a multicast approach is more logical and efficient than a unicast
approach. A typical use of multicasts is in video-conferencing, in which high volumes of traffic
need to be sent to several end-stations simultaneously, but for which broadcasting that traffic to
all end-stations would seriously reduce network performance. Besides, several industrial
automation protocols, such as Allen-Bradley, EtherNet/IP, Siemens Profibus, and Foundation
Fieldbus HSE (High Speed Ethernet), use the multicast approach. These industrial Ethernet
protocols use publisher/subscri ber com munications models by multicasting packets that could
flood a network with heavy traffic. IGMP provides the ability to prune multicast traffic so that it
travels only to those end destinations that require the traffic, thus reducing the amount of traffic
on the Ethernet LAN.

NOTE
The VPort 25 is the source that delivers the multicast video stream. To benefit from the
Multicast protocol, the gateway or network switch should support the multicast filtering function
(such as IGMP Snooping) so that the multicast stream is delivered correctly and precisely. To
learn more about IGMP Snooping, refer to the Moxa EtherDeviceTM series Industrial Ethernet
Switch user’s manual.

Accessible IP List
The VPort 25 uses an IP address-based filtering method to control access to the VPort.
Accessible IP Settings allow you to add or remove “Legal” remote host IP addresses to prevent
unauthorized access. Access to the VPort is controlled by IP address. That is, if a host’s IP address
is in the accessible IP table, then the host will be allowed access to the VPort. Administrators can
allow one of the following cases by setting this parameter:
y Only one host with a specific IP address can access the VPort. Enter “IP
address/255.255.255.255” (e.g., 192.168.1 .1/255.255.255.255)
y Hosts on a specific subnet can access the VPort.
y Enter “IP address/255.255.255.0” (e.g., “192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0”)
y Any host can access the VPort. Disable this function.

SNMP
VPort supports three SNMP protocols. The available protocols are SNMP V1, SNMP V2c, and
SNMP V3. SNMP V1 and SNMP V2c use a community string match for authentication, which
means that SNMP servers access all objects with read-only or read/write permissions using the
community string public/private (default value). SNMP V3, which requires you to select an
authentication level of MD5 or SHA, is the most secure protocol. You can also enable data
encryption to enhance data security. SNMP security modes and security levels supported by VPort
are shown in the following table. Select one of these options to communicate between the SNMP
agent and manager.

VPort 25 User’s Manual System Configuration
4-28
NOTE
Frame rate (frames per second) is determined by the resolution, image data size (bit rate), and
transmission traffic status. The Administrator and users can check the frame rate status in the
FPS Status on VPort’s web homepage.
NOTE
A large “Key frame interval” can reduce the bit rate, but will cause the image to be corrupted
longer if there is packet loss during transmission.
Video Quality Control
Video Quality Control is used to optimize the bandwidth of the video stream. There are 2 modes
for video quality control.
Setting Description Default
Fixed bit rate
(Only for MPEG4)
The administrator can fix the band wid th
to tune the video quality and FPS (frames

You may choose from the following
bandwidths: 600 Kbps, 1200 Kbps, 1800
Kbps, 2400 Kbps, 3000 Kbps, 3600
Kbps, 4200 Kbps, 4800 Kbps, and 5400
Kbps to let the VPort determine the
quality and frame rate by itself. The
combination of image quality and FPS is
determined by the bandwidth.
Fixed bit rate of 600 Kbps
Fixed Quality
The administrator can set the image
quality to one of 5 standards: Medium,
Standard, Good, Detailed, or Excellent.
The VPort will tune the bandwidth and
FPS automatically to the optimum
combination.
Good
NOTE
The image quality, FPS, and bandwidth are influenced significantly by network throughput,
system network bandwidth management, applications the VPort runs (such as VMD), how
complicated the image is, and the performance of your PC or notebook when displaying images.
The administrator should take into consideration all of these variations when designing the video
over IP system, and when specifying the requirements for the video system.

Appendix A Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if I forget my password?
A: Every access to the IP camera needs authentication, unless the admin password is set up as
blank. If you are one of the managed users, you will need to ask the administrator for the
password. If you are the administrator, there is no way to recover the admin password. The
only way to regain access to video encoder is to utilize the RESET button on the top panel
to restore the factory settings (see Chapter 1 for details).
Q: Why can’t I see video from the IP camera after it has been authenticated?
A: There are many possible scenarios:
1. If you have installed the IP camera correctly and the LEDs appear normal, check to see
if the camera module (lens and CCD module) is tuned properly.
2. If the IP camera is installed correctly and you are accessing the IP camera for the first
time using Internet Explorer, adjust the security level of Internet Explorer to allow
installation of plug-ins.
3. If the problem still exists, the number of users accessing the IP camera at the same time
may exceed the maximum that the system allows.
Q: What is the plug-in for?
A: The plug-in provided by IP camera is used to display motion pictures. The plug-in is
needed because Internet Explorer does not support streaming technology. If your system
does not allow installation of plug-in software, the security level of the web browser may
need to be lowered. It is recommended that you consult the network supervisor in your
office before adjusting the security level.
Q: Why is the timestamp different from the system time of my PC or notebook?
A: The timestamp is based on the system time of the IP camera. It is maintained by an internal
real-time clock, and automatically synchronizes with the time server if the video encoder is
connected to the Internet and the function is enabled. Differences of several hours may
result from the time zone setting.
Q: Why doesn’t the image refresh regularly?
A: This may be due to the time it takes to store recorded video and snapshots into memory, or
the time it takes to send the images to the SMTP and FTP server when events occur.
VPort 25 User’s Manual Frequently Asked Questions
A-2
Q: How many users are allowed to access the video encoder at the same time?
A: Basically, there is no limitation. However the video quality also depends on the network
bandwidth. To achieve the best effect, the video encoder will allow 10 users for
udp/tcp/http connections and 10 users for multicast to be connected. We recommend using
an additional web server that retrieves images from the video encoder periodically if you
need to host a large number of users.
Q: What is the IP camera’s video rate?
A: The codecs can process 30 frames per second internally. However the total performance is
subject to many coefficients, as listed below:
1. Network throughput.
2. Bandwidth share.
3. Number of users.
4. More complicated objects result in larger image files.
5. The level of your PC or notebook that is responsib le for displaying images.
In general, the transfer rate for a general local network environ ment can achieve over 800
kilobytes per second and approximately 10 to 20 pictures of a normal environment per second.
Q: How can I keep the IP camera as private as possible?
A: The IP camera is designed for surveillance purposes and has many flexible interfaces. The
user authentication and special confirmation when installing can keep the IP camera from
unauthorized access. You may also change the HTTP port to a non-public number. Check
the system log to examine any abnormal activities and trace the origins.
Q: How fast will the IP camera check the status of digital inputs?
A: The IP camera will check the input status in less than half a second.
Q: Why can’t I access the IP camera when I set up some options in the application?
A: When the IP camera is triggered by events, video and snapshots will take more time to
write to memory. If the events occur too often, the system will always be busy storing video
and images. We recommend using sequential mode or an external recor d er pr og ram to
record motion pictures if the event is frequent. If you prefer to retrieve images by FTP, the
value could be smaller since an FTP server responds more quickly than a web server. Once
the system is too busy to configure, use the restore factory default and reset button to save
the system.
Q: The image is not clear enough. Is anything broken?
A: The lens can be focused by rotating the outer ring. Rotate it clockwise or counter-clockwise
to focus near or far.
