I have 3 IP cameras to install that are 400, 560 & and 700ft away from my POE HIK NVR. I have never done an install where the cameras are this far away. Can someone please explain the best way to achieve this? I usually install these types of systems with one dedicated wire from the camera to each channel on the nvr which powers up the cam via POE. But now with these distances im concerned about power issues and data lag. The obvious answer that came to my mind was to put a POE switch in between but if I do this how does each individual wire get back to each port on the NVR. How does the NVR know which channel each camera is on with a switch in between if there is only 1 cat6 wire uplink to the poe switch.
Thanks
