Hi, On my setup, I used Cat6a Cable which is much faster. What sort of distances are you going with your Cat 6 Cable from your NVR to the POE Switch and then from the POE Switch to the Camera? I think it might be either faulty ports on the POE Switch/ Distance might be to far (in which case...

Hi fenderman, My NVR has 16 PoE ports and 16 Non- PoE ports. This now makes me think of even more questions lol : 1.) Does this mean that I will not be able to view the cameras remotely if I choose to connect the PoE Switch directly to the NVR? 2.) I understand that some cameras come pre-set to...

Hi fenderman, Thanks again for your reply. At the moment my router/internet connection, has been giving me problems and I have had to reset the wifi adapters on all of my laptops in order to get back access to the internet, and in some cases I have actually had to reset the router itself. If...

Hi fenderman, Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post. The router is in a room below where the NVR is going to be, so roughly about 10ft away. Both the router and NVR are 92M+ from where I intend to put to PoE switch. Thanks again for your help.

Hi fenderman, Thanks for your reply. I do intend to watch it from a remote location, but if you say 5Mbps Upload is fine then i should be okay with my current internet connection. Thanks. The cables will have to go beyond the 100M mark but I wanted to be safe and do the PoE Switch at around...

Hi, As the title suggests, I am looking as to how I would setup a HikVision Security Camera Network. The products I have are as follows: DS-2CD2132F-IS = 4 Cameras @2.8mm DS-2CD2032-I = 6 Cameras @4mm DS-2CD2032-I = 6 Cameras @6mm DS-77132NI-SP, 32CH NVR = 1 NVR (16 Port PoE Supported) With Cat...

Hi, @suzook; The NVR only has 16 PoE ports, so I would imagine that the 200Mbps would be spread over the 16CH. As for the cameras, this is my setup; Cat6a Cable DS-2CD2132F-IS = 4 Cameras @2.8mm DS-2CD2032-I = 6 Cameras @4mm DS-2CD2032-I = 6 Cameras @6mm DS-77132NI-SP, 32CH NVR = 1 NVR

Hi, Thanks for all your great answers guys. Okay so I've decided to go with the 32CH NVR which has Incoming Bandwith of 200Mbps and Outgoing of 160Mbps. With that I should be able to record most of the cameras at 3MP but will be able to record all at 1080p I believe, according to Bandwidth and...

Hi guys, Thanks again for your replies. @suzook; Yes I plan to record all 16 cameras at 1080p. The NVR I am getting can be seen here: Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co. Ltd. It says the incoming bandwith is 100Mbps and Outgoing is 240Mbps. Will this be able to record all cameras at...

Hi riri7707, Thanks for your descriptive reply. You are saying that the NVR will last at most 5-7 years with constant use, but how long will a pc last if it has to be on all the time (that means in a hot room with the a/c off as we will not be running the a/c 24/7)? And also if I were to buy...

Hi Guys, Thanks for your replies guys. I plan to have them in 1080p only, not 2048 x 1536, but I want to have a full frame rate at about 30fps for each camera. Do you think the 16 CH NVR will be suitable for this, or should I just go with a 32CH NVR now and save myself the risk? Also if I do...

Thanks for the Reply johngalt. As it is a large job would you think it better to use a computer with a PoE injector as opposed to the NVR? My only concern with that is the computer will have to be on 24/7, which may cause overheating problems and/or be susceptible to viruses. What are your...

Hi Again, @johngalt: Thanks for taking interest in my queries. So when you say "in between switches" do you mean I can run fiber from the NVR to the switch, or do you mean I should have two switches along one line and run fiber in between them? If the latter, then that would mean I would need...

HI Guys, Thanks for the great replies. The cost of Cat 6a to Cat 6 is negligible, as I would prefer to reduce any interference from any of the electrical equipment in one go rather than have to re-do cabling. For those saying to run fiber, how would I run PoE cameras over a fiber line? And...

Hi there, Thanks for your response. @johngalt; Thanks for your suggestions. I was thinking the same thing that it would be better to run Cat 6 Cable through a Gigabit PoE Switch at the 75 - 80M mark and find a nearby power source to run the switch. You mentioned running Fiber cable, but as...
