An optical splitter is a small, passive device—no power needed! —that splits one incoming light signal into multiple identical outputs. You'll often see ratios like 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, or even 1:64, which tell you how many ways the signal is divided. Splitting an IP camera signal is essential when you need to view footage on multiple devices or simultaneously record on different systems. It plays a crucial role in distributing optical signals efficiently and reliably to multiple. Splitting a video surveillance camera signal requires the use of specialized equipment such as video splitters or distribution amplifiers.
