Hello, I was wondering if you could help. I had a 16-channel NVR with 8 cameras in one house and 8 in another. One of the residences was sold, and I needed to remove eight cameras from the 16-channel NVR. The new position for the NVR is about 50 meters distant, therefore I chose to run one CAT 6 cable to the point where the eight cables meet. My intention is to install an 8-port POE switch to connect all 8 cameras via CAT6 cable back to the NVR, which will require another POE switch. From this POE switch, I'll connect my router cable, my NVR Lan cable, and finally my CAT6 cable to the other POE. Will this work?
Yes, your plan will work. As long as you have adequate power supply for the cameras, network bandwidth is sufficient, and all connections are securely made, this setup should work effectively.
Yes but is the second switch connected to an outlet or is only the first switch conected to an outlet and draws the second switch power from the first via PoE?
In this video, both switches need to be connected to an outlet for power supply. If your second switch requires PoE power, PoE powered switches can help. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at support@fastcabling.com.
Connecting just two PoE switches directly with a single Ethernet cable is generally not considered a daisy chain. A daisy chain usually refers to a series of three or more devices connected in a chain-like sequence (A → B → C, and so on), where data passes through each device in the chain. In this case, with only two switches directly linked, it’s simply a point-to-point connection between them.
Hi, thank you for the video. For 2 poe switch 1 nvr and to view online in phones can i use this type of connection. I meant does conncting nvr to router gives access to remote viewing of cctv?
As long as all your PoE switches are part of the same network (LAN) and can communicate with each other, your NVR will still be able to receive video streams from cameras connected to any switch.
@@Fastcabling thank you I have two uplink port on both my switch. So can I connect from Poe 1 uplink to Poe 2 uplink and poe 1 2nd port uplink to router and Poe 2 2nd port to NVR.. will this allow me to view remotely?
Yes, this setup will allow you to view the NVR cameras remotely. Or you can connect the NVR directly to the router. The NVR will still be able to communicate with the cameras since both the PoE switch and NVR are connected to the same network via the router.
You can connect two PoE switches using either: 1. Normal Port to Uplink Port: This setup is ideal if one of the switches has an uplink port with higher bandwidth (e.g., 10G or 1G), and the other switch's normal port is only 1G or 100M. 2. Uplink Port to Uplink Port: This is typically used to create high-speed inter-switch links for large data transfers or connect the access/distribution switches to the core switch. 3. Normal Port to Normal Port: This is often used in smaller networks where you don't need a high-speed backhaul between switches. Modern switches support Auto MDI/MDI-X, which automatically detects and adjusts the pinout of the connection (so crossover cables are no longer necessary).
If high bandwidth is needed between the two switches (e.g., for high data transfer rates or many connected devices), uplink to uplink is often preferred. In this case, we connected uplink to uplink using fiber connections to maximize throughput (10Gbps).
I'm not sure if I understand it correctly, but if you want the NVRs to share camera feeds or access each other’s stored video data over a network, you can integrate them through the local area network (LAN). Ensure both NVRs are connected to the same network. This can be done via Ethernet cables connecting each NVR to your network switch or router. Assign static IP addresses to each NVR for easy identification and access. Use the software provided with the NVRs to access and manage cameras connected to both devices. Some NVR systems allow adding another NVR as an external source.
I need help i have NVR 8 ch use at A house 5 IP cameras(POE 48v ) and put LAN Ethernet from Router(12v) to NVR and use LAN from Router to media converter from here I connect to fiber optic 100 m. To media converter > LAN > router again , My question need your help is 1. how can I use 3 cameras at B house , with out POE Line from NVR i can use only 1 line of fober optic for internet at B House 2. One fiber line can carry signals ,internet, power 48v or not 3. If i use power supply at B houe how can I connect camera from NVR 4. Thank you for your help master! I’m from thailand
1. Since the fiber optic cable is already providing internet to B House, you can use a PoE switch (with SFP uplinks) at B House to power and connect the cameras. 2. Fiber optic cables can only carry data (internet, signals) but not power. To power the cameras at B House, you'll need a local power source or a PoE switch at B House. An alternative is running a composite/hybrid fiber cable that includes copper conductors for power. 3. If you’re powering the cameras locally at B House, you can use a PoE switch at B House powered by a local power supply (48V for PoE cameras). The PoE switch can communicate with the NVR as long as they're on the same network.
That will also work. But some very old models of switches still need to use a crossover cable to connect the sending pin on one end of the cable to the receiving pin on the other end when connecting two common network ports. However, many modern switches support Auto MDI-X, which automatically detects the proper connection type no matter which cable you use. The uplink port does not cross transmit and receive pins, so no crossover cables are required, which means that only one straight-through cable is required to connect two switches by linking the uplink port and the regular port. In addition, uplink ports usually have more bandwidth compared to normal ports as they aggregate traffic between different layers.
Will this configuration affect efficiency or latency of data transfer? How does it compare if I just use a single PoE switch? I am using unmanaged PoE switch
Each additional switch in a cascaded configuration introduces a slight delay in data transfer. When multiple switches are cascaded, the available bandwidth is shared among all connected devices. If you use our long-range PoE+ extension kit, the data rate between the two switches can be maintained at 500Mbps. By connecting the long-range PoE ports on both switches, you can magically extend the distance up to 500 meters while maintaining a data rate of 500Mbps. www.fastcabling.com/product/500-meters-long-range-poe-extension-kit/
Perfectly explained. Thank you

Hello, I saw another video by you in which you say not to dazzy chain POE switches. What you did in this video, is it not dazzy chaining them?
Reason why I ask is because I have 64 Cams and I want to distribute them in 3-4 Gigabit POE switches. How do connect them all?
Connecting two PoE switches over a single uplink is technically linking them, but it's not the same as creating a long, dependent daisy chain.
You’d better connect them in a ring. www.fastcabling.com/pages/3-effective-ways-to-daisy-chain-poe-switches/
Thanks for sharing with hardware connection also

It is connected in series daisy... previously you said preferably not to connect both switch in series mode
Connecting just two PoE switches directly with a single Ethernet cable is generally not considered a daisy chain. A daisy chain usually refers to a series of three or more devices connected in a chain-like sequence (A → B → C, and so on), where data passes through each device in the chain.

@Fastcabling thankyou for providing great explanation... Point well understood
My pleasure!

Does the NVR have to use an online internet network?
No, if you only need to record the videos locally, you don't need a router.
hi..can i use the uplink port as a normal port? i have 4 normal ports and 2 uplink ports.. but i have 5 devices to connect.. thanks
Yes, these ports can usually function just like regular ports for connecting devices such as computers, cameras, or other networked equipment.
@@Fastcabling thank you so much for the prompt reply..i learned a lot watching your videos.
