(Direct connection example: When using hubs)
Connect cameras and PCs using the CAMERA port and the client PC port on the rear of the unit respectively as shown in the
illustration below.
Images (video signals) from cameras will be supplied (input) to the CAMERA port, and the supplied images will be transmitted
(output) to PCs.
Important:
Do not connect PCs to a network to which the CAMERA port is connecting. Otherwise, transmission efficiency may
be down.
Do not connect any camera to a network to which the client PC port is connecting for the same reason.
