pipabix 0 Posted January 27, 2013 I have one cat5e cable to a certain point in the house? however, i think i might have 2 cameras at this location. . . did i read some where on the site that you could have 2 IP/network cameras on a single cat5e cable? POE powered as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted January 27, 2013 All you need to do is add a switch at your camera location where you want to add another camera. Plug cat5e cable into switch Plug cameras into switch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pipabix 0 Posted January 27, 2013 great, handy to know. and you can still record simultaneously from both cams? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted January 27, 2013 Yes that is no problem as long as you have enough channels on your NVR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vkumar 0 Posted January 28, 2013 It depends on many variables... like camera resolution, video encoding, amount of motion, cross/straight cable, and using poe or not. But in any condition you can use 10 cameras easily. Just use a switch. Without any losses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
