VPort 354

Full motion, 4-channel MJPEG/MPEG4 industrial video encoders

The VPort 354 is a high performance, 4-channel industrial video encoder that provides up to 4CIF full frame rate performance (NTSC: 704 x 480 @ 30 FPS; PAL: 704 x 576 @ 25 FPS) for each channel, and supports a dual MJPEG/MPEG4 algorithm, making it especially well- suited for use with distributed surveillance systems in critical industrial applications. In addition to the rugged-design features, the Modbus/TCP and serial-to-Ethernet connectivity make the VPort 354 more suitable for industrial applications. The two built-in Ethernet ports can be cascaded as a daisy-chain or used for port redundancy, making network communication more safe and reliable. To prevent video loss when the network is down, the VPort 354 can automatically record video on an SD card, and once the network is back up, the recorded video can be downloaded via FTP access.
