VPort 351 Industrial Video Encoder for Distributed Video Surveillance System - Moxa

Moxa Technologies recently announced the release of the VPort 351, a 1-channel industria grade video encoder that provides up to full D1 resolution @ 30 FPS and supports a dual MJPEG4/MJPEG algorithm. Those features make it well suited for use with distributed surveillance systems in industrial applications. VPort 351 video encoder also features a continuous pre/post event trigger video record function that can help system administrators determine why an alarm was triggered. The device includes 2-way audio for the convenience of real-time communication between central site and field.

Moxa’s VPort 351 Industrial Video Encoder

Real-time full D1 MPEG4/MJPEG streams @ 30 FPS
The VPort 351 video encoder has a video stream performance at full resolution and full frame rate to create a real-time record for video surveillance applications. The new MOXA VPort 351 video encoder can process up to 30 frames/sec at full D1 (NTSC: 720×480, PAL: 720×576) resolution to transmit a truly live video performance.

Industrial-grade design suitable for any harsh environment
The MOXA VPort 351 video encoder features DIN-Rail Mounting capability, 12/24 VDC or 24 VAC redundant power inputs, and IP30 protection to meet the requirements of industrial environments. The VPort 351-T, which is an extended temperature model with operating temperature range of -40 to 75°C, is well suited for outdoor and harsh environments, such as roadways, refineries, and power plants. In addition, the VPort 351 video encoder has received important industrial and safety approvals, such as UL508, Class1, Div. 2, making it suitable for transportation, utility, and manufacturing systems. The product has enclosure, EMI, and surge protection to defend against any harmful interference.
