Your thermal camera has a single RayNet network connector. This connects the
camera to your vessel’s wider IP network. This could be an existing third-party
Ethernet network, or a dedicated Raymarine® RayNet network. For more basic setups,
the camera can be connected directly to a laptop or PC.
The details of the network connections between the camera, video display, control
unit, and the rest of your installation depend on:
• how you want to control the camera (for example, with a web browser, a
Raymarine® LightHouse™ multifunction display (MFD)
†
, a JCU controller, or a
combination);
• how you want to view the camera’s IP video feed (for example, with an analog video
monitor (connected via an IP video decoder), a Raymarine® LightHouse™ multifunc-
tion display (MFD)
†
, a web browser, or a combination);
• the equipment already installed on your vessel (for example, network switches with
free ports, analog video monitors, or other cameras).
The illustrations to the right show two examples of possible system layouts:
A — a basic system with a single camera directly connected to a web browser, via a
laptop computer or PC.
B — a more complex multi-camera, multi-display, multi-JCU system.
