Data Interface Card

The camera must connect to an interface card. This is sometimes called a host adapter, a bus controller, or a network interface card (NIC).

Note: For optimal video streaming and camera control performance, we recommend an Intel Pro chipset on a PCIe interface.

For the camera to properly enumerate at 5GigE speeds the host adapter needs to be configured to support 5G full duplex.

  1. Update to the latest driver for your host adapter to ensure the 5G full duplex option is available.
  2. In Windows go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections, right-click on your host adapter and select Properties.
  3. Click Configure.
  4. On the Advanced tab, from the Property box select Speed & Duplex and from the Value drop-down select 5Gbps Full Duplex.
  5. Click OK.

Note: Also on the Advanced tab, if not already set, Jumbo Packet should be configured to 9014 Bytes.

See How to Optimize GigE Network Adapter Settings for more information on configuring for best performance.
