Moxa’s IP camera for mobile applications

January 2013 Sensors & Transducers

Moxa has introduced the VPort P06-1MP-M12, a compact EN 50155 certified HD IP camera designed for mobile and rolling stock IP surveillance applications. The camera is especially suitable for vehicle applications with limited installation space. The rugged VPort P06-1MP-M12 features a wide (-40 to 75°C) operating temperature, vibration-resistant M12 connectors, EN 62262 IK10 vandal-proof design, audio input, PoE power input and IP66 rain and dust protection. Moxa’s Dynastream technology is supported to optimise network performance with dynamic bandwidth management.

“Its rugged design and rich feature set make VPort P06-1MP-M12 an ideal product for operators who are looking for reliable surveillance solutions with easy network control and system management,” said Martin Jenkner, business development manager video networking at Moxa.

Superior image quality in a rugged design

The camera is equipped with a cutting-edge CMOS sensor that provides excellent high resolution video images at 1280 x 800 pixels, and covers larger areas than legacy analog cameras. With the addition of DNR (digital noise reduction), BLC (black level control), and WDR (wide dynamic range) functions, the VPort P06-1MP-M12 provides a clear picture of the surveillance field of view.

The 47 mm height makes it ideal for tough vehicle environments with limited installation space. It is also compliant with essential sections of EN 50155, T1 (standard model) and TX (wide temperature model) temperatures, as well as EMC (EN 50121-3-2) and EN 61373 shock and vibration criteria. The camera takes advantage of Moxa’s unique thermal technology, allowing it to withstand temperatures from -40 to 75°C without a fan or other cooling equipment, and the built-in M12 connector provides a secure Ethernet connection for high vibration and shock applications. This combination of industrial grade features allows the VPort P06-1MP-M12 to provide reliable video transmissions for mobile IP video surveillance applications.

With a tempered glass lens, the unit achieves IEC 62262 Class IK8 enclosure protection and IP66 rain and dust protection. It also supports 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet), which eliminates the need to install additional power cables and outlets, reducing the risk of power failures.

High video performance

The VPort P06-1MP-M12 supports a maximum of two H.264 and one MJPEG simultaneous video streams. Operators can assign each individual stream to a specific purpose: for example, an H.264 stream for live video viewing, and an MJPG stream for data storage. With Moxa’s exclusive DynaStream technology, operators can optimise bandwidth by automatically reducing or increasing the video frame rate in response to events. By dynamically responding to network events, DynaStream prevents network congestion to help operators control network bandwidth and simplify network system management.
