1. PRODUCT FEATURES
1.1 Product Instructions
The VE-3500 ipx video server is a user-friendly device. It provides stable, reliable and convenient
network surveillance. It safely downloads automatic video Codec and other components, and lets
you very easily set up the control settings.
The user can access the network to get smooth images in the live mode through the real-time and
synchronized audio/ visual stream provided by the device. The ipxserv has a built-in Website
Server providing many Internet functions and protocols, including the MDIX protocol which
recognizes both the normal and crossover cables, either of which can connect up with a video
server.
The ipxserv also makes it easy for the user to get IP address information since this product
supports the USB interface which helps you get an IP address very easily. You can just open the IE
Browser, then type in the device's IP address to the Browser to access this device.
The ipxserv uses the Motion-JPEG compression mode to get good images. You can save any
important images in your device via an SD memory card or a remote client PC. This device can be
connected to an Analog camera, which can't be remotely surveillance except by using this product.
We believe this unit is the right answer to your Network surveillance problems. You will find it
indispensable.
1.2 Product Features
1. Real-time synchronization of the video and audio functions.
2. Supports the Motion-JPEG/ MPEG4 (dual mode) compression mode.
3. The installation of a Codec or execution file is not necessary. The ipxserv will automatically
send the Codec or any component to a PC if the latter requires it.
4. Built-in Website Server and network connection.
