## Large Vero system with Lock(s) and/or more than one Vicon Vue camera

With multiple switches, more cameras (or other devices) can be connected.

> ℹ️ **Note**  
> ℹ️ In cases where a Lock unit is not required, up to two 26-port PoE switches can be daisy-chained, meaning that the Gigabit PoE+ switch is not required. In this case, a camera on the primary PoE switch must be nominated as the sync source in the Vicon software (see previous diagram).
