Preparing for Use with a
Network Camera
You can connect a network camera (sold separately) to
the same LAN as your computer to create a video
conference.
The images from both the other party's and your own
network camera can be displayed on one screen during
the video conference (see Page 31).

IMPORTANT
•
Video conferencing using a network camera is
not available when making a call on a TEL line,
PC line, or PS line.
•
Video conferencing using a network camera is
only available for 2-party calls. For 3-party calls,
a video conference can be created between the
call originator (first party) and the first
participant (second party). In that situation, you
can have an audio conversation with the third
party. You can create a video conference with
the third party once the original call with the
second party has finished.
