A detailed example of a small enterprise system is shown to illustrate network configurations which will
provide satisfactory performance for your HDVR systems. In the drawing below, it is assumed that the
customer has a pre-existing data network with servers that provide centralized file storage and/or
applications to client computers on the network. The HDVR client can be installed on as many of these
client computers as desired. The second Ethernet switch is only required if there are more network
client computers than ports on the first Ethernet switch.
Network Connections for Analog Camera HDVR System
Gigabit Ethernet connections are recommended between the HDVR servers and the Ethernet switch,
and between Ethernet switches. While a 100 Mbps connection from the switch to each HDVR Client is
sufficient, it can be seen that each active HDVR Client increases the aggregate network bandwidth out
of the HDVR server.
