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!
