The drawing

What a CCTV network diagram is.

A CCTV network diagram shows how IP cameras deliver video to a recorder and viewing stations. It identifies camera locations, PoE switches, NVRs, network links and any firewall or wireless bridge in the path.

Use it to plan an installation, document a handoff, or trace a camera that has stopped recording. A camera VLAN can make the video segment and its access boundary clear without cluttering the drawing with unrelated office devices.
