Note
Except where noted, references to Vicon Lock, Lock units, and Lock apply to all current models of the Vicon Lock unit (at the time of publication, this includes Vicon Lock+, Vicon Lock Studio and Vicon Lock Lab).

With a single 26-port PoE+ to connect up to 24 Vero cameras.

With a single switch to connect up to 24 devices including optional Lock unit and / or Vicon reference video camera

Large Vero system with a single Vicon video camera

Note

In cases where a Lock unit or Vue is not required, up to two 26-port PoE switches can be daisy-chained, meaning that the Gigabit PoE+ switch is not required. In this case, a camera on the primary PoE switch must be nominated as the sync source in the Vicon software (see previous diagram).
