The VT-232E is an RS-232 to Ethernet converter (serial port to TCP/IP) used to capture POS / cash register data for Viewtron CCTV and IP camera systems. The VT-232E makes point of sale transaction text available to the POS text inserter function of
Viewtron CCTV DVRs and Viewtron IP camera NVRs.
The VT-232E has one RS-232 input port and one RJ-45 Ethernet port. This device is set to a static IP address by default and can be accessed via a web browser for configuration settings. This device is only required for POS systems that do not broadcast transaction text over a TCP/IP network on their own.
You can watch this video to see the
VT-232E overlay POS text on a security camera.

Business owners can also view the POS text remotely using the iPhone app and Android app included with Viewtron security camera DVRs / NVRs. Client software for Windows and Mac computers is also included for remote security camera system monitoring.
