So I am planning to buy IP cameras and NVR bundle, I am thinking of setting it up like this:
Connect IP camera to a switch with a CAT cable
Connect the switch to a NVR with a CAT cable
Connect the NVR to the router with a CAT cable
My question is, does that switch has to be a POE switch? When my security company technician came to my house I asked him and he said I need a POE switch to connect to the IP cameras, but I thought NVRs come with built-in POE switch so do I really need a POE switch?
