Thanks for making this informative video. So from what I gather, having external POE switch is more for commercial application with large number of cameras over wide areas. For me, it's just one small house with 3 maybe 4 cameras at the most so a PoE NVR is more than enough for me.
Hey man love your video, very educational. I wanted to know if you could help with an issue I am having. I wanted to know, if I just want to install one camera that is a POE 5MP, do I need a NVR and a POE switch as well? Also, is there an NVR with a POE switch installed, like a combo? Any suggestions?
All nvr's have built in switches in them unless it's a wireless nvr designed for wireless cameras. All you need for 1 camera is 1 nvr with at least one poe channel on it
Is there a way to update the camera system without actually replacing the nvr. I have a 32 channel nvr and having issues with no video on almost half .
It doesn't make any sense, "poe ports being shorted" what do you mean? If you're going to spend money on an NVR, I assume you'll install it in a secure location, right? So why are you worried about damaging it?
