The Remote Device menu is used to add IP cameras over the LAN. This menu item is only

(LAN), page 169 to connect IP cameras to the LAN.

The Cable Type menu is used if you are using cabling with a resistance higher than 10Ω
per 100m (330ft) and you are having picture quality issues.
The Cable Type menu is also used to enable support for IP cameras. IP channels can re-
place existing analog channels (4–channel, 8–channel, and 16–channel) or the system
can enable additional IP channels, which can be added to the existing channels by press-
ing the Add IP Cam button (8–channel and 16–channel only).
See 22 Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN), page 169 for more infor-
mation about using IP cameras with the system.
