VideoEdge NVMS Network Channels

The VideoEdge NVMS network is designed to utilize the following network channels:
LAN1: This network VLAN segment is intended for use as the public network where the clients
communicate with the VideoEdge NVR Servers. All video streams access the main
corporate network to send live and recorded video to each individual client machine. It is
also used as the management port.
In the event that any IP encoders and/or IP cameras are not accessible via LAN2 (e.g.
remote devices accessible over the internet), this network segment will be used to stream
the video to the VideoEdge NVR.
LAN2: This network VLAN segment is intended for use as the private camera network where the
VideoEdge NVR Servers communicate with IP encoders and/or IP cameras to receive
video for recording and viewing. This is where all video streams
LAN3: This network VLAN segment is intended for use as the private storage network where
the VideoEdge NVR Servers communicate with optional iSCSI RAID storage devices to
record and retrieve video to an IP SAN.
Fibre: In place of the 3
NVR Servers for direct connectivity to Fibre RAID Storage devices to record and retrieve
video.
It is recommended that high quality layer 3 switches are used whenever possible to ensure a more
efficiently designed infrastructure where priorities for video traffic can be configured as needed along with
VLAN configurations.
