Add A PoE Switch to IP Camera NVR System

Are you looking to expand your IP camera system and improve its connectivity? In this video, we'll show you how to seamlessly integrate a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch into your existing PoE Network Video Recorder (NVR) setup. By doing so, you'll enhance the performance, scalability, and flexibility of your IP camera system.

This is exactly the information I was looking for! Thank you very much!

[praveendas]

Excellent and easy to understand video of POE over NVR

[chrisstanley]

well done! Made this easy to understand for me!

[garrethmaher]

Great video, super one of the best ive seen yet

[iot]

Thank you...Very simple and informational...The last part especially..
...Uplink Port and POE Ports separated by a subnet is probably the feature of VLAN and made so for the whole purpose of security....I guess so...Can you please clarify on that subject matter, a bit more?

Thank you for this video, it is awesome. So if I have a 4ch NVR and connect it to an 8port Switch, will it show 8 cameras?

[felixgeorge]

Thanks for your video. The 4 port poe NVR you demonstrated with, how do we view more cameras from the 8 port poe switch on the screen connected to the NVR.

[MarsChan]

Thanks for this video, Is the wireless router necessary for the poe switch with multiple camera connected to function properly?

[mntambo]

Thanks for the video. I have a scenario here; connected 9 cameras on 3 separate POE switches which are basically connected to the OFFICE LAN. On top of that I have POE NVR on another Building connected with 8 ip cameras on its ports. I can view these 8 cameras connected directly on the NVR but fail to view those on the LAN though the NVR is connected to the LAN. What settings should I change to enable me to view both cameras; on the LAN and those connected on the NVR ports directly.

This is very helpful and I just have one question. In my home, I saw 6 IPCs cables connected with POE switch, which then 6 cables connected between the POE switch and the NVR. Would only be one cable connecting NVR and the POE switch?

Great video! Currently I have 3 IP-cameras connected wirelessly to my NVR and now I want to add 2 cameras placed appr. 100 m away from the NVR. These new cameras will be PoE-cameras powered from a PoE-switch, which in turn will have internet access through fiber from my router. Question: Should the NVR be placed between the router and the PoE-switch ( Router -- NVR -- (fiber) -- PoE-swith -- Camera ) or can both the NVR and the PoE-switch be connected to each other through the router ( NVR -- Router -- (fiber) -- PoE-switch) ? Thanks!

Thank you very much for detailed videos. Have a question, I am not able to add Poe switch to my Reolink rnl8-410. I tried your method and it is not recognizing the camera connected to router. Does that mean, Reolink nvrs don’t support adding non camera to their Ethernet port?

[Carew]

Thanks for your informative vids, question, I plugged 4 cameras into a 8 port switch then took one poe cable to my nvr powered everything up and got nothing on my connected monitor, what am I doing wrong

[rancizgitau]

Can you add more port/camers above specified physical port....ie a 4 channel to have 8 cameras?

[Atomos_tech]

I was wondering how did you connect the NVR and switch via PoE ports since these ports are used to deliver power to the device as well like what I think now the NVR is delivering power to switch and vice versa!?

[feddan]

I have two buildings: my house and garage, not too far apart. Currently, I have a single Ethernet cable running from my house to the garage. Now, I want to install eight IP cameras in my garage, but I don't want to run separate Ethernet cables from my house to each individual camera in the garage.

My plan is to use a POE switch in the garage. This PoE switch would power and connect all eight cameras. Then, I'll connect this garage PoE switch to another switch I have in my house. This house switch is connected to my XVR.

So, essentially, I'd have all eight garage cameras connected to a PoE switch in the garage, and that switch will connect to another switch in my house, which in turn connects to my XVR. Do you see any issues with this plan? Thanks you.

Here is my scenario. I have two buildings that are separated by 30 feet of distance. One building has four cameras and a ethernet cable running underground to Building B which is the main building. The main building has four cameras. We now want to switch to a poe system. We are thinking we get an 8 PORT p o e switch for Building B and an 8-port poe switch for main building + NVR IN MAIN BLDG.. ethernet cable running from Building B to building A would connect the two POE switches. Is there anything we are missing or will this setup work. thank you for your time

[rannyvlogs]

What if you still have no internet connection, but you want to test if the camera is working. Is the camera still works if you just connect it to the nvr through the monitor connected by hdmi?

[magnet]

Can you add more cameras (like 24 cameras) in this design?

[ubimaior]

Question: is it possible to connect the Poe switch to the router via uplink cable and then connect directly to the switch both the cameras and the NVR?
