NETWORK SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
A dedicated PC is recommended for receiving image
streams from cameras and for archiving and display.
Minimum recommended requirements for the PC are as
follows:
•CPU: Core 2 Duo 2Ghz
•RAM: 1GB
•Video Card: NVIDIA, 128MB RAM
•Network Card: 100 base-T (one card required for
camera stream, a second card required for
remote viewing)
A 100Mbps or better network switch or router is required
to connect the camera to the network. A regular hub does
not provide collision management and is not suitable for
multi-camera systems. Category 5 cabling or better is
recommended, and must be installed according to all
applicable codes and regulations.
The camera is capable of accepting a standard network
connection. However, the camera unit will still require a
dedicated 12-24V power input.
The cameras can be accessed and controlled by two main
methods: through the included viewing software and
through HTTP commands from a web browser, such as
Internet Explorer.

•All cameras have been tested and pre-focused
with telephoto setting as factory default prior to
