This is what I'm thinking, but am seeking advice. I like the idea of buying an NVR without the POE ports on the back, and buying a switch. That way I can run all the cameras to the switch in the attic, then just connect the switch to the NVR which would be near the TV in the living room.
But having to buy it separate costs more.
Is it worth it to by the NVR and switch, or just by the NVR with the ports built-in.
Are there any other positives/negatives with either?
Equipment wise I'm looking at LTS now, thanks to milkisbad.
Without the ports I like the LTS LTN8916 ($399) with a trend net POE+ switch for like $130 amazon.

Thanks in advance for the help!
