Configure camera settings

ConnectPort X Family products support connecting a WatchPort Camera to one of its USB host ports. One Digi WatchPort V2 USB camera is supported.

Camera settings

These settings configure the operation of the camera and handling of images captured by the camera.

Enable Camera: Enables and disables camera. When disabled, all camera activity stops and all memory used will be freed.

Resolution: The resolution level for images.

Frame Delay: Specify the minimum time (in milliseconds) between frames. The actual delay time between frames will be this number or greater. The camera will automatically increase this value as needed, such as in low light conditions.

This delay time is the inverse of frames per second. For instance, if you wish to set the camera to process at a maximum of 5 frames per second, the frame delay is set to 200 (1/5 = 0.2 second = 200 ms).

Quality: Choose a quality from 0 to 100. 0 means the lowest quality and smallest image sizes while 100 means the best image quality but largest images.

Qualities in the range of 30 to 80 are recommended. Quality above 80 will result in much, much larger images than lower qualities, which will result in lower overall performance and increased memory use.

Send Images to TCP Server: Enables sending camera images to a TCP server. The TCP server application must conform to the protocol sent by this device. The protocol is:

On connect, the TCP client sends a protocol id of four bytes: 0x85ce4a71,

followed by a protocol version of 4 bytes: 0x00000010

After this, images are sent over and over in the form of 4 bytes containing the length of the JPEG image to follow, followed by the JPEG image.

TCP Server: Name of the server to receive image data.

TCP Port: TCP port. The default port is 22222.

X4, X8, X2 specifications

Digi X2 and X1 are advanced cellular IoT (Internet of Things) gateways that provide an innovative solution for industrial applications, smart cities, and remote asset management. Both devices equip users with the means to connect, monitor, and control a wide variety of assets without the limitations traditionally imposed by wired connections.

Digi X2, designed for complex IoT demands, features dual SIM slots which ensures uninterrupted connectivity through automatic failover. This makes it particularly valuable for critical applications where connectivity is non-negotiable. Additionally, the X2 is equipped with LTE-M and NB-IoT support, enabling extensive coverage in areas where other networks may struggle.

On the software side, the Digi X2 supports Digi Remote Manager, a powerful tool that allows users to monitor, manage, and deploy devices remotely. This cloud-based management system simplifies the overall management of IoT devices by providing real-time insights, easy configuration changes, and over-the-air updates, saving both time and resources.

In contrast, the Digi X1 serves as an entry-level model that balances performance with cost-effectiveness. It supports LTE connectivity, providing a reliable connection suitable for a variety of applications. The X1 also offers seamless integration with existing networks, allowing users to leverage their current infrastructure while expanding their IoT capabilities.

Both Digi X2 and X1 are designed with ruggedness in mind, making them suitable for deployment in harsh environments. They are engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and vibrations, ensuring reliability even in demanding industrial settings.

Another notable characteristic of these devices is their extensive input/output (I/O) capabilities, which enable them to interact with sensors, machines, and other types of devices. This versatility allows for a broad spectrum of applications, from monitoring temperatures in remote locations to tracking assets across geographic boundaries.

In summary, the Digi X1 and X2 provide robust, reliable, and scalable solutions for modern IoT implementations. With their advanced cellular connectivity, cloud management capabilities, and durable design, they are poised to enhance connectivity across industries, driving efficiencies and enabling smarter operations. Whether for critical industrial applications or efficient asset management, Digi's offerings are tailored to meet the diverse needs of today's IoT landscape.
