Each camera will have it's own IP address on the network, the NVR just adds them based on IP, instead of adding them directly using the NVRs own ports.

There still needs a link from the switch to the internal network, so you can access the NVR.

so it is possible to set channel 2 /3/4 to accept a different IP addy from a different channel ? i only ask because the switch would have to be physically connected to a port on the NVR ( port 1 example 192.168.0.4 )
to configure channel 2 you would have to manually add an IP addy from where the switch is plugged in ( Port 1 ) ?? would that work ?? i did not realize you could configure an NVR channel/port to look at another port

The NVR would connect to the switch using the LAN connection and not one of the POE ports. Then it would be accessing the camera across the local network.

Correct. Some NVRs allow you to connect the NVR to the network, then instead of plugging each camera into a separate POE port, you just go into each channel and assign an IP address for the camera you would like to populate on that channel.

thanks for all the previous replies

sorry to resurrect this thread but just wanted to clarify this before i actually do it.

in terms of wiring the cameras to faceplates then using a patch cable from faceplates to the nvr, would this work as per the image below. also would doing this negatively affect performance of any cameras (especially ptz) thanks

Yes, as long as your DVR has the POE switch built in the NVR. Otherwise you would need to come out of the faceplates into the POE switch, then one line from the POE switch to the NVR.

Resurrecting this thread again as opposed to creating a new one.

Tried it out and Poe doesn't work, does anybody know if that is because the faceplate affects the power from the NVR to the camera or something else. Thanks

NVR to Keystone Jack, Keystone jack on should not cut power out. Are you sure your patch cables are proper color code and all needed wires? If they were premade assure they are not 10baseT wiring with only 2 pair utilized. Did you cut/terminate all your cables yourself?

thanks for your reply, i terminate the cable from the camera with rj45 and the other end into the faceplate (is keystone jack and faceplate the same thing?) and then used a premade patch cable. had a bit of difficult getting the cat6 to bend to fit in the faceplate and also when punching down the wires, i'll double check them and make sure its correct
