It depends on the camera. Some cameras have the ability to store video on an internal SD card. However, we have found that internal SD cards can sometimes cause frame skipping or laggy video when playing video back from the SD card.
There are a lot of variables that would determine if you need a PoE switch. While most NVRs have a built-in PoE switch there are several situations where a switch would be useful. Here are a few examples: 1. Your NVR's built-in PoE switch is not powerful enough if you intend to use multiple large power-hungry PTZ cameras. 2. You have the need to run a camera over the 328 feet limit of Ethernet cabling. 3. You want to deploy your IP security camera system over your local network rather than using your NVR's internal network.
Very good! Thank you so much man❤ God bless you man!! Hope you have a blessed day🙏♥️
so with a switch I can only view from the camera but I cannot record?

Is the blue cord just a normal short Ethernet cord?
Yes it is just an RJ45 tipped Ethernet cable.
Do I still a need PoE switch if I have an NVR?
