1.4 System Connections
The IP Camera can be connected in one of two ways:
1) 1 to 1 connection where one camera is connected to one PC client or a decoder
system, or 2) 1 to many connections where one system can be connected to several
PCs and decoder systems (the video server can work as a video decoder which takes
the data from a video server or IP camera, decodes and outputs analog video).
Topology
Generally, the IP Camera and PC or a Decoder is connected in a 1-to-1 mode or a 1-to
many configuration:

1:1 Connection
One camera is installed at a site where video images are transmitted. A PC or a
decoder is installed at a central location to receive and view the video images on an
analog monitor. Audio and serial data are transferred in either direction.

1:N Connection
In this configuration, a site can be monitored from many remote central locations.
Maximum connections would be limited by network bandwidth connection. Functionally,
the VMS (Video Management System) software provided can replace the decoder.
