Hardware connections between video servers

A VIP X1 XF with a camera connected to it can be used as a sender and a compatible hardware
decoder (such as the VIP XD) with a connected monitor as a receiver using an Ethernet
network connection. In this way it is possible to cover long distances without the need for
major installation or cabling work.
NOTICE!
The sender and receiver must be located in the same subnet to establish a hardware
connection.
Installation
Compatible video servers are designed to connect to one another automatically, provided
they are correctly configured. They only need to be part of a closed network. Proceed as
follows to install the units:

Connecting with a Web browser is described in the manual of the relevant unit that is to be

Connecting on alarm
With the appropriate configuration, a connection between a sender and a receiver is made
automatically when an alarm is triggered (see Section 5.27 Advanced Mode: Alarm Connections,
page 61). After a short time the live video image from the sender appears on the connected
monitor.
This option can also be used to connect a sender and a compatible receiver using a switch
connected to the alarm input. You do not need a computer to make the connection in this
case.
