"Networking hardware may also be known as network equipment or computer networking devices. Units which are the last receiver or generate data are called hosts or data terminal equipment.
All these terms refer to devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Specifically, they mediate data in a computer network. ...
Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, modems, ISDN terminal adapters, line drivers, wireless access points, networking cables and other related hardware.
The most common kind of networking hardware today is a copper-based Ethernet adapter because of its standard inclusion on most modern computer systems. Wireless networking has, however, become increasingly popular, especially for portable and handheld devices.
Other hardware prevalent in computer networking includes data center equipment (such as file servers, database servers and storage areas), network services (such as DNS, DHCP, email, etc.) as well as devices which assure content delivery." [Networking hardware. Wikipedia]

Taking a wider view, mobile phones, PDAs and even modern coffee machines may also be considered networking hardware. As technology advances and IP-based networks are integrated into building infrastructure and household utilities, network hardware will becomes an ambiguous term owing to the vastly increasing number of "network capable" endpoints."

The vector stencils library "Cisco routers" contains 27 router symbols for drawing the Cisco computer network diagrams using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"A router is a device that forwards data packets between computer networks, creating an overlay internetwork. A router is connected to two or more data lines from different networks. When a data packet comes in one of the lines, the router reads the address information in the packet to determine its ultimate destination. Then, using information in its routing table or routing policy, it directs the packet to the next network on its journey. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. A data packet is typically forwarded from one router to another through the networks that constitute the internetwork until it reaches its destination node.
The most familiar type of routers are home and small office routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between the home computers and the Internet. An example of a router would be the owner's cable or DSL modem, which connects to the Internet through an ISP. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common." [Router (computing). Wikipedia]

How to Create a CCTV Diagram

CCTV (Closed-circuit television) diagram is used to depict a system of video monitoring. The CCTV diagram provides video cameras placement strategy. CCTV diagram should include the scheme of strategic placement of video cameras, which capture and transmit videos to either a private network of monitors for real-time viewing or to a video recorder for later reference. CCTV is commonly used for surveillance and security purposes. Using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM with the Security and Access Plans Solution lets you create professional looking video surveillance CCTV system plans, security plans, and access schemes.
"Deployment diagram shows execution architecture of systems that represent the assignment (deployment) of software artifacts to deployment targets (usually nodes).
Nodes represent either hardware devices or software execution environments. They could be connected through communication paths to create network systems of arbitrary complexity. Artifacts represent concrete elements in the physical world that are the result of a development process and are deployed on nodes.
Note, that components were directly deployed to nodes in UML 1.x deployment diagrams. In UML 2.x artifacts are deployed to nodes, and artifacts could manifest (implement) components. So components are now deployed to nodes indirectly through artifacts." [uml-diagrams.org/ deployment-diagrams.html]

The vector stencils library "Cisco telepresence" contains 8 symbols of videoconference and telepresence equipment for drawing Cisco computer network diagrams.
"Videoconferencing is the conduct of a videoconference (also known as a video conference or videoteleconference) by a set of telecommunication technologies which allow two or more locations to communicate by simultaneous two-way video and audio transmissions. It has also been called 'visual collaboration' and is a type of groupware. ...
The core technology used in a videoconferencing system is digital compression of audio and video streams in real time. The hardware or software that performs compression is called a codec (coder/ decoder). Compression rates of up to 1:500 can be achieved. The resulting digital stream of 1s and 0s is subdivided into labeled packets, which are then transmitted through a digital network of some kind (usually ISDN or IP). The use of audio modems in the transmission line allow for the use of POTS, or the Plain Old Telephone System, in some low-speed applications, such as videotelephony, because they convert the digital pulses to/ from analog waves in the audio spectrum range.
The other components required for a videoconferencing system include:
(1) Video input : video camera or webcam.
(2) Video output: computer monitor, television or projector.
(3) Audio input: microphones, CD/ DVD player, cassette player, or any other source of PreAmp audio outlet.
(4) Audio output: usually loudspeakers associated with the display device or telephone.
(5) Data transfer: analog or digital telephone network, LAN or Internet.
(6) Computer: a data processing unit that ties together the other components, does the compressing and decompressing, and initiates and maintains the data linkage via the network." [Videoconferencing. Wikipedia]
