Let me preface, I’m not a networking guy. I’ve done the basics of networking but am slow and resort to reading a lot of instruction for guidance.
I currently have POE cameras ran directly to my NVR in my utility room in the basement and was a plug & play install. System is monitored via HIK connect iPhone app.
I would like to move the NVR to another area and connect the cameras to a POE switch in my utility room. Using a single cable from the switch to the NVR.
Please let me know if I’m on the right track…
Connect cams to switch and run into POe port on NVR. Connect router to either NVR or Switch (does it make a difference?)
Obtain IP’s for cameras and manually add them to to each camera channel of NVR. Enjoy.
Am I overlooking anything or is there anything I should be aware of? It seems like it should be pretty straightforward.
