I have a Swann NVR (NVR8-7300) with four 3MP 1080p cameras (NHD-815). I want to use a PoW switch to connect the cameras to the NVR (four Cat5e cables to switch & 1 Cat5e cable from switch to NVR). Swann tells me that they cannot guarantee this configuration will work. Does anyone have experience using a PoE switch and this or other Swann NVRs? Bundy

I am planning to purchase a NVR system with 4 cameras for my home and have narrowed my choices down to the following three systems Swann SWNVK-873004 - http://www.swann.com/us/swnvk-873004 Amcrest AMNV3M8-4B - http://amcrest.com/qcam-3mp-8-channel-nvr-4-poe-bullet-ip-cameras-211.html# Lorex LNR400 Series B - https://www.lorextechnology.com/site/HD-IP-security-camera-system/8-Channel-HD-NVR-with-Weatherproof-IP-Cameras/prod660002.p I am most concerned about overall picture quality, PC viewing & configuration capability, and the mobile application. Also, I want to be sure I can use a PoE switch to connect the four included cameras to the NVR as I have run one Cat5e cable from my attic to the location of the NVR in the basement. I am leaning toward the Swann system, but I am curious if anyone can comment on experience with any of these systems. I am wondering of any one system has significant advantages over the others. Thanks in advance for any feedback. Bundy
