Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) cameras Connection Network connectors, which are already installed in nearly every PC. Maximum data rate is 100+ MB/s. Cable Cable length is not limited (100 m), some cameras support PoE (Power Over Ethernet), where a single cable is used for both data transfer and power supply.

Typical resolutions and frame rates
640x480 @ 200 fps
1024x1024 @ 100 fps
1600x1200 @ 50 fps
1920x1080 @ 50 fps
Almost all cameras can be used at higher frame rates by reducing the image size.

Mobile systems
Notebook computers can typically handle 3 cameras.
Lower frame rates (e.g. 640x480 @ 100 fps) allow up to 6 cameras.

Desktop systems
Modern computer systems can typically handle 6 cameras.
Lower frame rates (e.g. 640x480 @ 100 fps) allow for 12 or more cameras.
