Moxa has just announced the release of its VPort 26, a new outdoor fixed-dome IP camera that is designed to deliver video surveillance in some of the harshest outdoor environments. The VPort 26 is vandal-resistant, IP66 rated and has a rugged design and is also capable of providing high image quality at SVGA resolution as well as three simultaneous H.264/MJPEG 3 video streams and also has a day/night camera lens.
This camera captures high quality video images using a 2.8 to 11 mm vari-focal lens, which adapts to any viewing angles and distance requirements you need. The built-in removable IR-cut filter and automatic switching from color to B/W images makes this camera suitable for use in both day and night situations.
Images also gain further enhancement with the 3D-DNR (3D Digital Noise Reduction) which significantly reduces noise and the WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) which also produces better images in conditions with backlighting. What’s more is that the de-mist function, which is optional, ensures that you get great image quality, even in rainy, snowy or hazy environments.
This camera is also designed to encode both H.264 and MJPEG video streams while simultaneously transmitting up to three independent video streams at up to 30 frames per second (fps). Users will also be able to assign each individual stream to a specific purpose and advanced network security functions also prevent unauthorized access or stolen data.
Key features of the Moxa VPort 26 include:
- EN 50121-3-2 and Essential Sections of EN 50155 Compliance
- 1/3″ CCD camera with maximum resolution of 800 x 600
- Up to three independent video streams, 2 H.264 and 1 MJPEG
- Built-in 3D-deinterlacing for progressive video image

Four New Cameras Coming to Samsung’s iPolis Series
Samsung’s iPolis SNV-7080R dome camera is an outdoor 3MP network video camera that provides 16:9 1080p full HD video quality and images. In addition to that, this camera includes 15 IR LED illuminators that allow for a maximum viewing distance of 75 feet in complete and total darkness.
The WiseNet2 DSP chipset, which is incorporated in the camera, is designed to provide maximum benefit for megapixel technology and includes Wide Dynamic Range as well as Smart Compression with region-of-interest encoding. H.264 compression also allows for lower bandwidth, high-resolution images with the H.264/MJPEG dual codec supplying multiple streaming.
The camera also includes a motorized 3-8.55mm (2.8x) vari-focal lens, which allows you to remotely adjust zoom and focus settings after installation. You can choose from a plethora of resolutions, including CIF, 1080p and full 3 megapixels with the ability to transmit selected streams for viewing and recording.
The iPolis SNV-5080R, which is the new dome version, is a fixed dome camera that offers resolutions of up to 1.3MP and includes 720p HD output and an IR viewable range of up to 50 feet. H.264/MJPEG/MPEG-4 multiple codecs also include multiple streaming using H.264 compression.
The iPolis SNO-7080R is an outdoor 3MP bullet camera with 32 infrared LEDs for a range up to 150 feet in complete darkness. This camera, complete with a 2.8x vari-focal motorized zoom lens, can capture 16:9 full HD images at 1m920 x 1,080p with wide dynamic range and features a dual H.264 and MPEG codec.
The final camera in the series is the iPolis SNO-5080R, a 1.3MP IP camera capable of displaying multiple resolutions from 320 x 240 through 16:9 format 720p to full 1.3MP 1,280 x 1,080p. This camera is capable of illuminating objects up to 100 feet away and also includes a multistream H.264/MPEG-4/MJPEG codec. Regardless of what you need, one of the four new cameras in Samsung’s iPolis Series should be able to do the trick.
