jbpunjabi 0 Posted July 20, 2016 I am installing Hikvision cameras at my brand new new store. I had all the necessary cables fished to my Camera room, but yesterday I decided to add 4 more cameras and now I cant run the cables from new location to camera room. Some how i managed to run all four cameras to a different room and I have one cable from that room going to my Camera room. Now my questions is: 1. How can I send the feed from four cameras through one cable to my NVR? 2. Should I use POE switch? 3. I am using 16 channel POE switch with my NVR. 4. Any wireless transmitter available to do this job? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted July 20, 2016 Use a 5 ports switch with 4 POE ports (5 ports total; 4 of them POE). That way you can connect the 4 cameras on that switch, and have one extra port left for connecting the switch to your network. You will need to activate the cams by hand, configure the cameras (IPs, network, etc), and on your NVR disable 4 of the POE ports on the NVR, and add the cameras by hand.
