1. What is a Fixed Dome Network Camera?
The Fixed Dome Network Camera is a stand-alone system connecting directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. The Fixed
Dome Network Camera differs from a conventional PC Camera because it has an integrated system with built-in CPU and web-based
solutions, providing a low cost solution that can transmit high quality video images for monitoring. The Fixed Dome Network Camera
can be remotely managed, accessed and controlled from any PC/Notebook over an Intranet or Internet using a web browser.
2. What is the maximum number of users that can access DCS-6110 simultaneously?
The maximum number of users that can log onto the Fixed Dome Network Camera at the same time is 10. Please keep in mind the
overall performance of the transmission speed will be reduced if many users have logged on to the camera simultaneously.

Note that to utilize this feature; the Network Camera must be configured to enable multicast streaming at the same time. For more
information, see RTSP Streaming on page 41.
