How to connect IP cameras over a network using a PoE switch with 2 Uplink Ports

In this video we show another popular method of connecting IP cameras to a network for recording. In this example the PoE switch acts as the central location where the router and NVR communicate. You can also use this style of setup for a standalone IP camera system without an internet connection.

Excellent, now I can just have one point of access to the nvr (1cable) for 3 cables going to the cameras instead of having to run them all to the nvr thinga me jig. I have the option to just have one cable going to the nvr and a junction box so to speak :)

Would it work if you connect the NVR to the router instead of the Poe switch since the POE switch is already connected to the router?
