Is this the correct way to link switches?

Attached is the picture of what I have setup. I am just wondering if this was the way you connect 2 switches together?

And since we are here, does everything else look like its set up right? Wasn't exactly sure if they had to be in specific spots or not.

I agree with @biggen, it will work. However, I would pull the interlink cable to the uplink port of the 2nd switch. Not that it will change much (because you only have one camera on switch #2), but if you would attach more stuff, it would matter qua performance (uplinks are often not QoS'ed nor does the switch need to remember which MACs are connected behind the port). Plus qua esthetics, I'd shift the holster for cable 8 back into position.

It should work as configured.
Where is NVR or BI PC connected ?
Local security video never goes through the router, when traveling between the camera and the storage device.

Thank you for the replies. Good suggestion on moving the switch link to the uplink port on the 2nd switch.

I know the pic can be kind of confusing. Did the best to label the ports

The NVR is connected to the switch. Bottom switch, top row, all the way to the right.
