Overview

The VPort 26 series is a vandal-proof, IP66-rated, fixed dome IP camera
desinged for outdoor use. With SVGA (max. 800 x 600 ) resolution,
H.264/MJPEG 3 simutaneous video streams, and day-and-night camera
lens, the VPort 26 series is well-suited for outdoor video surveillance
applications.

To enhance video image quality, the VPort 26 series is equipped with a

2.8 to 11 mm vari-focal lens that meets any viewing angle and distance
requirements. With the built-in removeable IR-cut filter, and automatic
switching from color to B/W images, the VPort 26 series is suitable for
day-and-night use. Along with 3D-DNR (3D Digital Noise Reduction)
function, which can greatly reduce noises of video frames, and WDR
(Wide Dynamic Range), the VPort 26 series provides clear images under
back light circumstances. The optional De-mist function also ensures a
good image quality in rainy, snowy, or hazy environments.

The VPort 26 series is specially designed for outdoor applications with the
following features: IP66 rain and dust protection, high EMI/surge
protection, -40 to 50°C operating temperature without a fan or heater
required, metal housing, and vandal-proof dome cover. In addition, the
camera is built in a dehumidified membrane for spreading out the
moisture inside the camera. Users can choose either the model with PoE
(Power over Ethernet, 802.3af) function, or the wired power input model
with 12/24 VDC or 24 VAC.

The VPort 26 series is designed to provide both H.264 and MJPEG video
streams and transmit up to 3 independent video streams (2 in H.264, and
1 in MJPEG) simultaneously. The camera is able to encode and transmit
up to 30 FPS for each of the H.264 and MJPEG streams. Advanced
network security functions, such as 802.1x and SSH, are also provided to
prevent unauthorized access or data snooping, which is critical for most
surveillance applications

Software Installation

Step 1: Configure the VPort 26’s IP address

When the VPort 26 is first powered on, the POST (Power On Self Test) will
run for a few moments. The System LED will turn green when the POST is
complete. The 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps LED will then flash as the IP address
is assigned. The network environment determines how the IP address is
assigned.

Network Environment with DHCP Server

For this network environment, the unit’s IP address will be assigned by
the network’s DHCP server. Refer to the DHCP server’s IP address table to
determine the unit’s assigned IP address. You may also use the Moxa
VPort and Ether Device Configurator Utility (edscfgui.exe), as described
below:

Using the Moxa VPort and EtherDevice Configurator Utility
(edscfgui.exe)

1. Run the edscfgui.exe program to search for the VPort. After the
utility’s window opens, you may also click on the Search button

to initiate a search.

2. When the search has concluded, the Model Name, MAC address, IP
address, serial port, and HTTP port of the VPort will be listed in the
utility’s window.

- 17 -

NOTE

The Serial number is the production serial number of this VPort,
and the HTTP Port number is the http port used by this VPort.

3. Users can double click the selected VPort, or use the IE web browser
to access the VPort’s web-based manager (web server).

Non DHCP Server Network Environment

If your VPort 26 is connected to a network that does not have a DHCP
server, then you will need to configure the IP address manually. The
default IP address of the VPort 26 is 192.168.127.100 and the default
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Note that you may need to change your
computer’s IP address and subnet mask so that the computer is on the
same subnet as the VPort.

To change the IP address of the VPort manually, access the VPort’s web
server, and then navigate to the System Configuration  Network 
General page to configure the IP address and other network settings.
Check the Use fixed IP address to ensure that the IP address you
assign is not deleted each time the VPort is restarted.

Step 2: Accessing the VPort 26’s web-based manager

Type the IP address in the web browser’s address input box and then
press enter.

Step 3: Install the ActiveX Control Plug-in

A security warning message will appear the first time you access the
VPort’s web-based manager. The message is related to installing the
VPort AcitveX Control component on your PC or notebook. Click Yes to
install this plug-in to enable the IE web browser for viewing video images.

NOTE

For Windows XP SP2 or above operating systems, the ActiveX
Control component will be blocked for system security reasons.
In this case, the VPort’s security warning message window may
not appear. Users should unlock the ActiveX control blocked
function or

disable the security configuration to enable the

installation of the VPort’s ActiveX Control component.

Step 4: Access the homepage of VPort 26’s web-based manager.

After installing the ActiveX Control component, the homepage of the
VPort 26’s web-based manager will appear. Check the following items to
make sure the system was installed properly:

Wiring Requirements

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your

Moxa VPort 26.

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:

• 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.

• Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.

• It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system

when necessary.
