The data transmission parameters can be configured to suit the local operating environment (e.g. network architecture, bandwidth, data structures). The ZN-L8000 camera can provide you the power of 2 independent MPEG-4 Encoders that you can use at different transmission bandwidths, resolutions, etc. for remote transmission, local transmission or recording, in order to optimize your system and network usage.

The devices support the multi-unicast operation up to a maximum of 5 simultaneously connected receivers for MPEG-4. The transparent data connection is maintained from the first unit. However, after 15 seconds of inactivity the data connection is automatically suspended and another unit can exchange transparent data with the transmitter. For multilink operation, the network is not required to be multicast compatible as the devices are also multi-unicast compatible.
