Step 9: Camera Care and Tips
The new IdentiLynx cameras are a different design from the older models. The Ethernet port in the back of the
supports XLR to RJ-45 connectors for weatherproof connection. Failure to use this connector may lead to water
infiltration which could damage the camera.
To learn how to install the connector on your Ethernet cable, go to: www.neutrik.com/en/product/ne8mx-b and find
the Assembly Instructions.
NOTE: When adding the IdentiLynx SR/HRS camera to your network, be sure to monitor Ethernet traffic and watch
for congestion. Add one camera at atime and increasethe Resolution, or Frame Rate, in increments.We recommend
the use of a Gigabit Network Switch. Use the same methodology when adding a second IdentiLynx camera to your
FinishLynx network. From a results-production standpoint, it is rarely necessary to go over 10fps in Cross Country or
Road Races.
