Connections

This sections explains how to connect the PC, cameras, and extension units. The types of cables and other hardware depend on how each setup

is done. Before starting installation work, check to make sure you have everything you need.

Connect the PC and the camera to the recorder using a HUB. The recorder is connected to the HUB via a LAN cable (straight). You can connect

the PC and camera using either 1 port or 2 port operation.

Using a HUB for Direct Connection

The PC connects to the camera using the Client PC port on the rear of the recorder.

Camera images input through the client PC port are sent to the PC from the same client PC port.

Connecting the PC and the Camera

Important:

• Use a LAN straight cable to connect the recorder and PCs via a hub.

• Do not use a LAN cross cable to connect the recorder and PCs. Using a LAN cross cable for continuous operation may result in incorrect

display and playback because depending on the type of PC transmission may not be steady.

Connectivity Advantages Ports Used

1-port

Used when the PC and camera are on the same network and they directly access

each other without passing through the recorder.
