• Connecting to the RJ-45
Connect a standard RJ-45 cable to the network port of the network camera. Generally a
cross-over cable is used for directly connection to PC, while a direct cable is used for connection
to a hub.
The following picture is an example of a network diagram using NVR16. The 2 network ports on
the product back panel are for a computer and camera. The rear panel network ports can be
used for devices within the same network, or in different networks as shown in the example
diagram.
