This Application note is intended for installers and resellers of Eagle Eye Cloud VMS whose deployment size or site architecture necessitates the use of multiple Eagle Eye Networks Bridges or CMVR devices sharing a single internet connection. This document serves as a vital resource for installers, IT professionals, resellers, and system architects, providing them with the knowledge and tools needed to execute successful multi-bridge deployments. 
The two primary approaches—segregated and managed CamLAN networks—each offer distinct advantages depending on the specific needs and constraints of the deployment site. Segregated networks help avoid conflicts by isolating each bridge or CMVR, ensuring stable operation and reducing the likelihood of IP address conflicts. On the other hand, managed CamLAN networks provide greater flexibility by allowing cameras to operate on an existing end user managed network, without the need to provide tertiary switches.

When deploying multiple bridge or CMVR units on a single site, in certain architectures, their default configuration may cause the units to adversely affect each other’s operation. For this reason it is important to give consideration to a number of design aspects before deployment.

The primary considerations when deploying multiple bridges or CMVR devices on a single site are:
  1. CamLAN architecture. (The network responsible for the cameras)
  2. Configuration of bandwidth management settings. (The amount of outgoing WAN bandwidth available at the site)
  3. Existing LAN architecture. (The network type and the amount of bandwidth available on the local network)
