Guidelines
■ Segment ethernet camera network traffic from the
office / local area network.
▪ If the computer used for capture is connected to
an existing network then use a second ethernet
port or add-on network card for connecting the
computer to the camera network.
▪ For best performance do not connect devices other
than the capture computer to the camera network.
■ Add-on network cards should be installed if additional
ethernet ports are required.
■ For connection details, see example Network Setup
diagrams at right.
Setup
■ Layout and connect ethernet PoE switches for the camera network.
■ Connect the computer used for capture and the S250e cameras to the camera
network.
Recommended Devices
■ Qualified ethernet devices are available for purchase at OptiTrack.com. NaturalPoint
does not recommend the use of cables, extenders, hubs and switches that haven't
been qualified for use with OptiTrack devices.
Note: PoE switches must support 15.4 watts per ethernet port (full power).
