2.2.1 Network Interface
Network interface, RJ45 Ethernet port, three-speed Ethernet 10M / 100M / 1000Mbps transmission
interface for camera control, data transmission and power supply (POE function).
It is best to use shielded twisted-pair Category 6 cable in order to ensure the transmission quality, as
well as to prevent too much data retransmission and packet loss phenomenon.
