Network Usage 
21.11.1 
Network Utilization: 
One Remote Station will typically use 2.5% to 
7% of a 10Mbit (LAN) network. It is about 2.5% 
with normal operation (4 cameras displayed) 
but it could peak to 7% with PTZ usage. 
In Windows XP Professional, this can be 
monitored via: "Ctrl-Alt-Delete, 
Ö[Task Manager], ÖNetworking .
