hi
I plan to buy a 8 channel Dahua NVR, POE Network Switch and 8x POE IP Cams. On the NVR, I am also undecided whether to purchase a NVR with direct 8 POE ports, or to purchase a NVR without POE port + a POE network switch.
Which of the below connection methods is advisable? :
(1) router --- NVR with direct POE port --- IP Cam
(2) router --- NVR without POE port --- POE Switch --- IP Cam
(3) router --- NVR without POE port

(3) router --- NVR without POE port
└------ POE Switch --- IP Cam
- Between (1) and (3), assuming I am buying an unmanaged POE network switch, will there be any difference in configuring the NVR? One has a direct POE port and one without.
- Between (1) and (3), which one has better network performance?
