Overview

Video Server is a high-performance networking video transmitter. Its powerful VLIW DSP core
and fully optimized algorithm compresses and transmits high quality real-time video over a
standard TCP/IP network. In addition to meeting the basic needs of video feed, many advanced
features are included to help you set up surveillance or web attraction applications. The
state-of-the-art design strikes a good balance between stability, robustness, ease-of-use, and
flexibility.

Real-time Motion-JPEG compression

Video input can be efficiently compressed into packets of JPEG images without delay, and the
optimized compression engine creates excellent images that take up much less memory space.
This is done without sacrificing remote monitoring capability or storage. Five levels of
compression ratio and three different image resolutions are provided to provide more versatility.

Robust system operation

The industrial real-time operating system prevents hackers and viruses from wreaking havoc on
both Windows and Linux systems, and the on-board watchdog improves reliability by continually
monitoring the system’s operation.

Easy Web access via standard browser

There is no need to install new software to access Video Server, since the embedded Web Server
allows users to access the Video Server anywhere over the Internet with any popular Web browser.
As long as you are connected to the network, you will be able to view the same images seen by
your cameras.

User’s Password protection

User’s Password protection is provided to prevent malicious intruders from accessing your system.
Once the administrator password is configured, all users will need a password to access the Video
Server.

Built-in VMD (Video Motion Detection)

External sensors are not required, since the video channel can be configured to detect motion,
making it easy to set up a security system in either your home or office. And the customizable
settings allow you to tune the system for both object size and sensitivity, making the Video Server
adaptable to different environments.

Weekly schedule for automated surveillance

The user-defined time period will repeat weekly to check security settings and send notifications
or drive external devices, making it easy to install in SOHOs, retail shops, and home security
systems.

Flexible I/O control for external devices

One opto-isolated sensor input and one relay output are provided to control external devices,
giving system integrators the option of turning an analog system into an advanced security
system.

MOXA SoftDVR™ Lite IP Surveillance Software

To extend the Video Server’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.

Remote system upgrade

Video Server users have round-the-clock access to the most up-to-date firmware on our website,
with a free upgrade wizard included to facilitate firmware installation.

Technical support for developers

The high-performance Video Server can be integrated into many applications—without busting
your budget—and the complete programming interface and standard JPEG format helps make the
developer’s job easy and straightforward. More ideas for Video Server applications can be found
