Network Hardware Configuration Notes
The following notes apply to network connections and hardware.
Using the same network as the PC on a shared network connection — Plug the camera
into the network that the PC is plugged into. They must be on the same subnet. A system
administrator can configure a VLAN if necessary.
Using a private network connection — You can connect the camera through the main/
only Ethernet card, or through a second Ethernet card. In either scenario, a switch can
be used to connect multiple cameras.
Ethernet cards — Ethernet cards must be 1000 Mbps. If direct connection or PC network
allows, use a card that supports jumbo frames for larger packet sizes. Also, on Windows,
increase the number of receive buffers if reception is poor.
Switches for connecting multiple cameras — Use a switch that has full duplex 1000 Gbps
per port capacity. It can be a managed switch, but does not have to be.
