increasing camera number in NVR

[chanklish]

hello
I have a 16 ports Hikvision NVR.
lets imagine this scenario : the 16 ports hikvision nvr is connected via lan to a 24 ports POE switch .
this 24 ports POE switch is connected to 20 Hikvision ip cameras.
all cameras are turned on
would the the 16 ports Hikvision NVR be able to view the 20 cameras ? or is limited to 16 cameras ?( by firmware or software per example )
I have a spare 24 poe switch , so i was trying to lower my cost by using a small nvr
please advise

Hi,

You are limited to the number of Channels that the NVR supports, so your 16 Channel NVR can only support 16 Cameras.
These can be a mix if LAN and POE Port (if you have them on the NVR) connected cameras, but you can still only have 16.
