GENERAL QUESTIONS
 
WHAT IS VPON?

VPON stands for Video Picture On Network. VPON is the registered brand name of Aegis micro's camera server, video server and Network DVR products.Please refer to product page for detail.

 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

VPON has a built-in mini web server providing real-time video capture and streaming over network. It grabs any footage, compresses it, and then transmits it to your PC for viewing through the Internet, Intranet, or direct dial-up modem connection via a telephone line.

 

 

WHICH NETWORK ENVIRONMENTS ARE SUPPORTED?

VPON supports up to three network environments: Internet, Intranet, and Direct Dial-Up. By using a standard web browser, VPON can stream real-time video to a PC via any of these connections.

 

 
WHAT ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT IS REQUIRED TO GET VPON UP AND RUNNING?

VPON is a self-contained device with everything you need to get you up and running in the LAN mode. An RJ-45 network connection is supplied, so all you have to do is plug the power and a video feed in and assign an IP address to the unit. If a PSTN connection is desired, an external modem option must be purchased to use the COM port mode.

 

HOW MANY USERS CAN ACCESS A VPON AT THE SAME TIME?

The number of users accessing a VPON at the same time varies from different products. LAN or Internet bandwidth is one of the most important factors that limits the number.In general condition,15 to 20 is a reasonable number.
