mortix 0 Posted December 13, 2015 Hello! I want to start by saying I am completely new to CCTV and just started researching on the subject. One question I could not find an answer on the internet is: Can I set up a DVR surveillance system with IP cameras without a router? As in, just plug the Ethernet cable directly in the DVR? Also can I set everything up in DVR without a PC, only using the mouse and remote control on a TV? The problem is, I don't own a laptop and I can't just pack my PC and go there with it. I do have a TV there and access to the internet. Thank you in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted December 13, 2015 Hi. Yes you can set one up you will need a NVR that has built in POE something like a dahua or hikvision system .... Or any system and use a switch The only problem you will have is setting up remote view if you needed that option ..... You will need to do some port forwarding if you don't have a system that can auto do p2p On dahua all is needed is there QR code to set up ... So no need for a PC But you can also do port forwarding using a iPad or tablet or smartphone if you have one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
