3 VHDIPL Networking solutions
The VHDIPL has 5 Ethernet ports, one is RJ45 without POE, others are POE supported
ports. The 4 POE ports are for connecting to the cameras. Cameras should not exceed a
distance of 100 metres from the POE Ports.
POE port
The POE ports on the VHDIPL can connect to the cameras directly. The VHDIPL will
add the cameras automatically if connected to the POE ports and the default recording
is 24 hours * 7 days a week. Note the POE only supports IEEE 802.3af standard .
10M/100M RJ45 Internet port
When connecting to the Internet or local network, the VHDIPL needs a CAT5 cable
running to a switch or router at a distance of less than 100 metres.
The camera dedicated network topology is shown in Figure 3-1

4.7 Adding Network Cameras
The VHDIPL allows you to connect a maximum of 4 network cameras. The total
recording bit rate is 24 Mbps and live video total bit rate is also 24 Mbps.
!The VHDIPL will support a maximum of 4 cameras at 1080p resolution with
average bit rate is 6 Mbps network camera. If the total baud rate is more than 24
Mbps it may cause the VHDIPL to lose video.
!For detailed specifications please refer to chapter 2 Specifications.
Add Network camera
Method 1: Add the camera manually.
We can discover network cameras by an IP broadcast, IP segment search, and static IP
search. Network cameras have to be on the same IP range ad have to be on the same subnet
mask
Method 2: Add camera by POE ports.
Cameras will be detected and added automatically
