Scenario:
- There are 4 POE camera's (most likely 4MP Dahua's) close to the bedroom.
- The main router is in the bedroom.
- The POE NVR (most likely 8 channel) will be in the same bedroom as well (actually right beside the main router).
If a POE switch will be used, then this will have to be placed in the bedroom next to the router and NVR aswell (as all camera's are close to the bedroom and the attic is too hot for the switch).
Question:
I'm in doubt whether a POE switch is needed in this scenario.
Since a possible switch will be placed in the bedroom, that means all 4 network-cables will need to be wired straight to the bedroom.
In that case, isn't it more wise to plug the cables straight in the POE NVR (also located in the bedroom)?
Would this assumption also stand with a possible expansion of 3 camera's in the far future?
