Nvr and poe switch

[anuraag488]

I have a Vigi NVR1016H currently connected to router and have 3 Tapo camera connected wirelessly. My NVR has 1 Lan port which is currently connected to router. I use Vigi manager and app to access nvr on my laptop and mobile.

I'm planning to install 5 wired ip camera using a poe switch. As per my understanding i need a unmanaged poe switch and connect my nvr and ip cameras to poe switch and poe switch to router.

So i need to find some answers as my nvr will not be connected to router directly
1) Will my nvr have different ip now as it's connected to poe switch like my router has 192.168.31.xxx and maybe poe will have 192.168.0.xxx or does unmanaged poe switch ip address are same as router
2) Will my NVR still able to see my wifi camera?
3) Can i still easily connect to nvr through laptop and mobile?

The NVR doesnt have to be directly plugged into the POE switch. Just leave it in the router as it is now. the unmanaged switch will just transfer data packets from the cameras thru the router to the NVR.
Just connect the cameras to the POE switch and run a cable between the router and the POE switch. Then everything will reside in the same network address scheme.
roughly put, unmanaged Switches are layer 2 devices with no IP address. Layer 3 switches/devices have IP addresses....don't quote me though....
Just remember you'll have to go into the NVR and find a menu that will let you search for or " add new device". and if the IP cams are listed as unconfigured devices.
