The integrated video network is used to transfer the
camera picture from all video client PCs
to the video server PC. You have to run at
least two instances of CamLAN (CamUniversal or Campermanent)
on two PCs to use the video network. One PC works as a video
server and collects the video picture from all connected clients.
All cameras running at the client PCs could send their video
picture to the server PC. All instances of CamLAN (CamUniversal
or CamPermanent) are able to connect to the server instance
and receive the video picture from all cameras which have
send their video picture to the server. These cameras are
called RemoteCams. All running cameras, no
matter if they are WebCams, NetCams or RemoteCams can send
their picture to the server PC and become through this way
a RemoteCam!

part and the network client part together in one instance.
