- How to install IP CCTV Cameras using multiple switches.
The video shows the best strategy in connecting the cameras to non POE Embedded IP CCTV camera NVR through network switches to the NVR.
The method used makes use of POE Switches to which POE IP Cameras have been connected and the switches have also been connected to a router, that also directs the camera videos to the NVR which is also connected to a LAN port on the Router.

thank you for this man. this is really helpful.
Am glad you like it. There are more I have to share.
Thank you so much for this video.
Most welcome
Thank you buddy.
You are most welcome
Good videos. Please do a video on NVR configuration, paying closer attention to assigning IP address to the cameras.
Great suggestion, it will be considered.
@@Tech_Inside_Out I'm no CCTV expert just curious whether you manually assigned IP addresses or did the router assign them via DHCP/Dynamic IP? Great videos bro.
Most IP cameras are assigned IP addresses from the manufacturer. For those that are not manufacturer assigned, you can just place them at DHCP to automatically generate it. Very very sorry for this late response. I didn't notice this message. I was just scrolling through and realised this.
@@Tech_Inside_Outbut how come other installers say you need to configure or assign an IP address to each camera you set up to an nvr?
Please do installation from different brand cameras and different brand nvr. I believe lots of Ip address changes comes in there.
Thank you for the tutorial, i have a qurstion any ip camera brand works to any brand of NVR?
Not necessarily. Brands that are Onvif compliant could work together but it is most advisable to use thesame brands in an installation.
very usefull but i want to know if the third swtch who has multiples ports is poe also????
Thanks for your compliment. The third switch is also POE. POE Switches power up POE Cameras directly without need for other sources of power and as in the video, the only connection was the network cable because power was also taken along the same network cable. Is there area you will like me to do a video on?
Hello, i really found this so helpful and i am implementing monday tomorrow but my question is am using Hikvision NVR with two LAN ports but whenever i use the Lan port for Nvr to access internet from the switch , most of my cameras connected through the switch go off but i when i pick my internet connection from the router the cameras are on; what could be the reason ????? Thanks
Please check if there is a specific WAN Port and a normal ethernet port for cameras.
Hi , thanks for sharing. Can you make another video on how to connect non poe camera to non poe switch? Non poe camera to Poe switch vice versa.
Hello Carlo,
Your information is well noted. I have made a video on how to connect Non POE IP Cameras to a POE switch. I will do one on how to connect POE Cameras to a non POE switch as you suggested. Thanks so much for the suggestion.
hi thank yoi for your video..just want to ask.. i have already a dvr system and want to add few more IP cameras.. will it work on the dvr instead of nvr with the same set up on your video? many thanks.
No, IP cameras can only be added to an NVR, not a DVR.
@@Tech_Inside_Out hi..thanks for your prompt reply..mine is HDD dvr.
Good illustration, but noticed the last switch isn't a POE SWITCH, so how did you power the camera
This video seeks to achieve the following objectives:
1. the need to reduce cable lengths through the use of switches that link cameras in nearby locations
2. show the best way to link multiple switches to a single NVR without having issues of network congestion.
Thanks for the simple explanation. My situation is that I have a 4th cluster of cameras. How would I go about adding it? My router 4 port are all taken. My thoughts are either 1. Buy new router with more ports. 2. Connect new switch to one of the existing ones, I think there must be downside to this because you didn’t do it 3. Buy new router not internet and extend
If you can afford a new router having more ports, that would be one of the best solutions.
Having another limited port router linked to the main router would also be good.
The addition of a new switch would work but not the best solution. There may be network congestions when you would have to handle many cameras.
Hello! i am installing TP-link digital cameras and i want them to be plug-in together using only one switch (we only have limited switches in the house) My questions is, is it possible to connect the cctvs using extended power cables to the poe switch then to the internet router without nvr? Because I am going to monitor the cameras through my phone instead of a TV or Monitor. If theres additional cables, please do recommend as well. Thank you!
1. You can use extended power cables to the POE Switch.
2. You can use IP cameras without NVR, in that case you won't have recordings on a hard drive, you would require an alternative video recording.
3. The cameras require the use of Cat 6 cables to connect them. Extending power to the POE Switch will require a 3 core power cable
Great
Thanks
Welcome sir
Hi, from your video, if add on 1 more dvr, how to connect all the cable to 1 router, lack of 1 port, any way to connect all? Mean have 3 poe switch and 2 nvr, and want to connect all together with internet
You can have a one network switch to which you will connect all the devices that need to be connected to the router and connect that switch to the router.
Suppose the you have one more camera instead of a bunch of them, and the distance between the camera and nvr is more than 100 meters, can the Poe extender boost the power and video signal, so that in such case the video can be viewed on screen without challenges?
Provided you have an effective POE extender, that can be possible
Good day, i have 4 channel nvr with build in poe, and also o have poe switch 4 ports my question is how many camera i can install
Once it is a 4 channel NVR, you cannot add more than the 4 cameras. You can however add the cameras to a VMS and be able to do even up to 256 cameras.
Hello.
Thanks for your videos.
I have some ip cameras installation that are far apart. 180m to 250m from the NVR.
Can I connect 3 switches together and from the last switch to NVR?
Yes, connect cameras at each location to a switch and connect the switches to a router.
The NVR should also be connected to thesame router and everything will work.
Thanks. What is the acceptable distance from the Poe to router
Because, I have a Poe that is 300m from the router and NVR
Good day Benedict, may you please assist me with the following.
I have 2x16 channel nvr
32 ip cameras
3x 16 Channel POE Switches
Now i have connected The 1st 12 Cameras on the 1st poe, then i connected a lan cable on upLink 1 to port 1 on the POE
Other 10 cameras are connected on poe ports aswell, then i connected uplink 1 of the 2nd POE switch to port 1 POE of the 3rd Switch which also has 10 cameras. Now the Question is that, if i plug Uplink 1 of the 3rd switch to a Router, then Both NVR also to the Router, will it work
Please i have seen your email and i will respond with details through the mail before close of day today.
for Me i think if you are using 2x16CH and 3x PoE switches....All your switches must be in the same network so that you will be able to see all your cameras....It will work (As explained in the video)
Hello! upto how many IP camera can connect in single NVR specifically to brand you are using (JOVISION). Thanks in advance.
They come in specific capacities starting from 4,6,8........up to 256
thanks for the vid but what if i want to link up 2 switches which has different IP address? can i also skip using the router and link 2 switches directly to each other but of different ip address?
You may skip the router and cascade the switches but when your cameras are many, you may be experiencing "device timed out" on your cameras.
Cascading tranfers the load from one switch to the one it goes throgh to get to the NVR which results in the network congestion.
@@Tech_Inside_Out oh. I guess that's the reason why my screen went blank on most cam. Thanks for advise. Really appreciate
How can i connect 32POE cameras to 16ch PoeNvr and a 16ch poe switch ?. I know the 16poe cams goes straight into the 16ch poe nvr. How about the other 16poe cameras to the poe switch?. This setup is for long distance 200m.
Will it be a problem using the poe switch with poe cameras since the cams r direct poe?
A 16 channel NVR can only take a maximum of 16 cameras. You would need a either a 32 channel NVR or better still a 48 channel NVR to cater for future expansion. You can use a combination of POE switches to get upto the number of POE ports you need.
POE cameras can be connected to a POE Switch without a problem.
@Tech_Inside_Out so can I connect the poe switch with 8cameras in it to any port of a POE NVR and I'll still get everything perfectly?
Dear Sir..thank you very much for sharing this video.. i have a question, i hope you can help me.. i have a router in my warehouse and i want to put IP cameras and connect them in my dvr inside the house..can i use single ethernet cable to connect ip cameras and keep the wifi inside the warehouse? many thanks
1 The IP cameras can only be connected to an NVR
2. The location of the router doesn't matter, once your connections are right, it would work.
3. There are devices that you can use in order to have more than one IP camera on a network cable.
@@Tech_Inside_Out if i use poe switch and connect it to the lan port of my dvr, will it work?
Can I do the configuration using only my android phone. ie without a laptop. Thank you.
No, you cannot do the initial configuration on a phone. You can do it on the NVR.
Is it the same process for DVR?
No, the process is different for DVR
1. Can we use a network switch instead of routher to link the NVR
2. Can a DVR also serve this purpose ?
3. The NVR or DVR Chanel's important when networking more than 16 camera's ?
Thank you for the knowledge sharing.
1. When using many cameras, the use of a network switch in place of a router may bring about network congestion since the peer ports of network switches into which camera feeds will be fed into, do not handle high bandwidth compared with a router.
2. DVRs are used for Analogue or AHD camera installations and in such cases, there is a different approach which i will cover in later videos.
3. I don't quite understand the third question, if you can rephrase it so that i can answer.
Please let me know if my explanations are understood.
@@Tech_Inside_Out the third question is, when networking more than 16 camera's, are we going to consider 4 channel, 8 channel or 16 channel NVR and DVR ?
Thank you for your respond, really appreciate sir.
Pls can you do that video this weekend about his second because that’s what will be doing this coming Monday or Tuesday and I don’t know how to go about it
@@Tech_Inside_Out but if we will use gibabit network switch will it enough to handle camera bandwidth intead of router?
Yes, that will work well
Can we connect 2 Poe switch to 3rd and from 3rd poe to nvr without router
That works in a case where you are using few cameras. Please watch this video which explains the pros and cons
czcams.com/video/kpxbZaFBh4A/video.html
Whats the maximum distance should there be for
from cameras to POE Switch?. From poe switch to Router,
From router to nvr?
The recommended cable length is 100m when running utp cables.
Dahua has developped ePoE camera and Switches that can run cable up to 800m .But the more the distance is the more the bandwith will decrease.
Please can I link two switches with ethernet cable if they more then 100 meters apart
100 meters is the furthest distance advisable, going beyond 100m is not advisable.
is it d-link switch have PoE?
Yes, there are d-link switches with POE

Nice videos. I have 16 port Hikvision NVR and am trying to extend the channel using extra 8 port POE switch. My challenge is that, i have only three views on a single port of the NVR with the cameras showing intermittently. Can i have any network view. Thanks.
You cannot extend the number of ports on an NVR. For instance, an 8 channel NVR cannot be extended to pick more than 8 cameras.
16 CH NVR can only support a max of 16 cameras with the max resolution supported by the NVR. So even if you use a 16 CH NVR that can support cameras with 4MP max and you add a 8MP camera on it,it will not display that camera.
@@prophatcheeusebio4218 No sir, I have a 16port ch nvr with additional 8port Poe switches x2. In total I have about 26 cameras connected at the moment with clear view.
@@Tech_Inside_Outso what is the need of poe switch then? I thought we use the poe switch to extend the number of channels by linking NVR and poe switch?
Hey, how can I get in contact with you, I wanna ask some questions about a project I have coming up...
Please send me an email script.engineeringconsult@gmail.com and lets exchange contact.
Can will connect cat 6 cable our self as long we want?
The recommended Maximum Length for cat 6 cable is 100m

Hello, customer placed already installed 24 camera with different different places with 8 Poe switch and customer want to more 8 camera so what I can do? It is 32 CH NVR
Hello Ganesh,
You can get a 16 port POE switch and add the new cameras to the new switch. You from the new switch send one cable to the NVR so that the new cameras can be added to the old cameras.
Please let me know of i have fully answered your question.
@@Tech_Inside_Out customer installed already 24 camera with 3 three place they putted POE switch 8 ch different different places because camera distance like more than 150 mtr, now customer want to add more 8 camera and the same distance like more than 150 mtr
Hi in the same way in 2 locations installed ip cameras and nvr is in other location. At all locations i have internet connected through TPlink routers. So now how i can bring those cameras into nvr.
If the two locations are at distances within cable reach, you can use one router and connect the switches at both locations to the router. You also conect the NVR.
@@Tech_Inside_Out no cameras are far away and NVR is far way
I need those both location cameras to be added in NVR at my home
@@Tech_Inside_Out any solution
@@JANAPAREDDYKISHORE Hello,
Please see if this video answers your question. czcams.com/video/5f8aWO_m_8M/video.html
If I use another poe switch instead of router, will it still work?
The ports of a Router deliver higher bandwidth compared to a switch, making them much more efficient in this setup.
Routers offer higher bandwidth on each LAN port than a switch will do, making them perform better when used for this purpose
@@Tech_Inside_Out ok thank you Sir
How do we connect it to the internet?
Connect Internet to the router and follow the steps in this video

How can i trace my cctv's cables in a large building? I have encountered a 'No Link' problems in monitor but the cameras working fine. I hope you can help me. TYIA!
Hello, you can use a LAN testor to test the cables,
please see this video on how it is done.
czcams.com/video/EccXWepv5z4/video.html
@@Tech_Inside_Out Another question. How many PoE does the building have if they are using non PoE Nvr/Dvr with 61 Hikvision IPC? Im the new IT Specialist here sir and they do not have any written reports for these one. I hope you can help me, TYIA.
@iamme1093 They can use any number of POE switches. It could be 2,3,4 or even more depending on how they made their structure.
@@Tech_Inside_Out It seems like some of those POE are on the ceiling, I guess because I can only see two POE as of now. Such a pain
The router has to be connected to the internet b4 the cameras will work?
No, the router is not for the purpose of supplying Internet, it is to receive the camera signals and send them to the NVR.
If remote view is required, you can make Internet available on the router for use for that purpose
@@Tech_Inside_Out thanks a lot
Your channel is very productive
Keep up the good work
Thanks very much. Sorry for the late reply. I was just scrolling through and saw this message. Am very sorry for the late response.
Create a video on this using dvr sir,
@@creativemind3562 Well noted
Sir what are the ip configuration.
You just have to use DHCP to automatically assign IP addresses to the cameras.
You are brutal
