    Thank you. So its better to hook up all cameras to the switch instead of some to the NVR and some to the switch?

    So the best hookup is cameras to POE switch or NVR POE; then GigE port on POE switch to NVR; then POE switch to router? Do the cameras plugged into the POE switch and the cameras plugged into the NVR operate/process the video the same as opposed to all being plugged into the same device?

    So I confused myself again. If I have six cameras that run to a POE switch, would the POE switch be connected to the NVR or the router or both? If to the router, then would the NVR be connected to the POE switch but not the router? If to the NVR, then the NVR would run to the router but not...

    Ok, it is coming together now. When I did my network at home, I ran cat 5 to all of my rooms in my house for internet. I ran all of them to my crawl space where I had installed a switch. From the switch, I ran a line to my router which is next to my computer and then connected the router to...

    I was thinking the same thing. I was going to order 6 cameras and the NVR to start. Looks like many are ordering from Andy (empire candy) but he looks to be waiting on stock on both items. I am thinking I can run the cat6 while I wait for an order. It would put things in process and I can...

    Wow, thanks for the warm welcome and acceptance! I have already started doing more research on here. I have told my wife she needs to give me a little time to do this right. I actually had her read your responses and that helped. It's kind of strange but she is more worried about catching...

    My wife has a crazy meth head uncle that has reported to several local law enforcement agencies that we have stolen things from him, molested his dog and other outrageous things over the last 5 years. We have never found any evidence he has been on our property until last week. I found some of...
