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.

A 1000 BASE-T NIC is recommended for streaming images on the Ethernet network between the camera and host system.

In order to achieve the maximum benefits of USB3, the camera must connect to a USB3 PCIe 2.0 card. The card must be connected to the PC power supply in order to power the camera through the USB3 interface.
