The cameras are located in groups of three or four far from the monitoring station. I can use some POE switches for them.

Thanks cctvikidis. What I would like to design is like the diagram shown in the attachment, with the Combiners and Extrtacters replaced by Switches, the Coax replaced by a Ethernet cable, and the CCTV camera and Video Injectors replaced by IP cameras. Is it possible ?

Dear forumers, I am new to this forum. I am an IT professional; I am given a project to install an IP-camera system in a factory, and to this end, I need your help. I have a project to install 24 IP-cameras in a factory compound. The factory is 100 meter by 200 meter in dimention. The 24 cameras are distributed within the compound in an irregular manner. To reduce the cabling, I would like to use a single cable from the viewing computer (or DVR), and divide the cable at each Camera location using a POE Switches. For ecample, when I reach camera A, I use a Switch to split the cable and send one cable to Camera A, and the other cable will keep on going until I reach camera B. Then I split the cable using another POE switch, send one cable to Camera B and go on until I reach camera B, and so on. - Can someone please tell me if this is possible ? Will the computer be able to identify the signals from each camera and display the video separately ? (remember that only one cable was taken from the computer initially which was then divided using Switches) - Will the network cable have enough bandwidth to accommodate all those signals ? Also, please tell me which IP camera System from which campany will fit my project. Thank you very much Matiw
