Thanks If your switch is providing the POE you need to run an ethernet from the NVR back to the switch still to connect everything. Digimerge right now has a 4CH NVR with 4 x 2.1MP cameras on sale, forget the exact price but I believe its under 1200. Would really fit your budget. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
