How to keep my camera traffic off of my house ethernet when NVR is in a different location than cams?

[Dan79]

Currently my NVR is across the house from my POE cameras which are attached to a switch. I have the NVR where it is because it's situated at a desk hooked to a monitor for easy viewing. The NVR and switch are connected through my home ethernet. This results in a constant 120+ mbps of traffic going through my cat5 wiring.

I'd really like the switch to connect straight to my NVR so the cam traffic isn't taking up bandwidth on my ethernet. I have a coaxial cable that goes from the switch area to the NVR area. I think I could use this to connect via MoCA. Is that right? If so, then my problem is that I'm not sure how I would connect my NVR to my router so that when I use my phone app, the NVR can send out the substreams for viewing.

Any ideas?

Hi

Can you sketch the layout ?

I'd use a Ethernet over coax adapter to connect the NVR's LAN port to the POE switch.

Can you run CAT-5e from one of your Modem/Router's LAN ports to the camera's POE switch?
