Cameras are connected to the PC via a number of 26-port network switches, which also provide power to the camera as well as route data back. These switches can provide sufficient power for up to 12 Vantage cameras and two other devices (Vue or Bonita reference video or Lock unit).
Important
With the Vicon Advanced system, up to 8 Vue cameras are supported. For details and other PC configurations, see What are the latest PC specifications? on the Vicon website, or contact Vicon Support.
For mixed systems consisting of Vicon Vantage and MX T-Series cameras, see Vantage and legacy cameras system diagrams.
Except where noted, references to Vicon Lock, Lock units, and Lock apply to all current models of the Vicon Lock unit (at the time of publication, this includes Vicon Lock Studio and Vicon Lock Lab).
