Using multiple cameras
Multiple Ethernet ports
Each camera is connected directly to an Ethernet port. No switch is used. This
configuration is more complex and requires the user to manage host and cam-
era IP addressing; however, it allows each camera to use the entire Gigabit
interface bandwidth.
Camera and adapter IP addresses are managed with fixed IP addressing, as the
IP address of each adapter needs to be on a unique subnet. A subnet is that part
of the IP address that overlaps with the binary 1’s (decimal 255 in following
example) of the Subnet mask.
