How to Connect two (2) POE Switches to an NVR
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- This video shows how you can link two POE Switches together. This is applicable to situations such as an installation in a storey building where Cameras are placed at various floors and needed to be connected to one NVR. There is no need to draw all the cables to the location of the NVR. All that is needed is to use a POE switch at each floor as shown in this Video.

Simple video and very very easy to understand 👍🏽
Thank you very much. There are lots of these on my channel at youtube.com/@tech_inside_out.
3rd method:
Patch Up-link Lan1 to Lan1 & Lan2 to Router.
The NVR-Lan port to the Router.
This would leave you room for 8 open ports for cameras, correct?
That's true
The advantage of using method 2 is that, when one of the poe switch fails the other cameras will not affected and the operation continues
Thnaks very much
Very good explanation
Thanks for liking
Beat video, thank you , and also great video !!
Thank you
Tnaks for video, simple and easy to understand

My best teacher
I thank God for the wisdom to do what i do by His grace.
Very nice and understandable,sir make a video how to online nvr and remote cameras and access to cameras on ip from remote
Please watch this video ua-cam.com/video/S0n6Y45g18A/v-deo.html
Thanks fkr the compliment
Simple and easy to go about it. So how about linking 2 dvr switch to 1 screen
Hello Joshua,
Please visit the video link below on how you can link 2 or more DVRs and NVRs together

Alway when you connect two switches together using uplink port on both switches. Then connect nvr to the second uplink port, and the last uplink port for internet.
Thanks
If there are two 32 channels switches, then I link them and finally to the NVR, will the system experience traffic issues during display?
If you use this cascading method, you may experience traffic congestion in the form of cameras going offline
thank you for the video it was helpful
Am glad to know that it was helpful. Expect more on my Channel - Tech Inside Out.
Hi. I want to install a Hikvision network camera to my friends house across the road using my NVr at my house. How do I do this using a poe switch?
You can setup the cameras in his house to a switch and link that switch to your router on which your cameras are connected
So how do I look for the switch from my NVr? I can setup the switch and plug it into the router at my friends but how do I communicate with the switch or his router from my NVr?
Great helpful video.. Thank for this.. May i ask if the two poe switch is is that a unmanage poe or managable? Thanks 😊😊😊
The two switches are non-manageable switches. Thanks for the compliment. Expect more informative videos on my channel.
What happen first method not use router?so nvr used wifi from router ?
The NVR does not use WiFi connection, it uses cable connection
Thanks for sharing, please what kind of cables did you use in all connection?? Is it straight through or crossover. Thank you
I used straight through cables
I enjoyed this....can you do more detailed tutorials... I'll contribute to your channel to show my little support... Are you a Nigerian ?
Am happy you enjoyed this video. I intend to produce more videos that really helps everyone to be able to carry out the practical just by watching the videos. Am a Ghanaian. Your contribution will be weĺl appreciated.
Thanks a bunch for this tutorials. I love to know the function of the second LAN 2 Port use for since all connections is happening in only LAN 1 in the POE switch?
Thanks
Hello Jacob,
I guess you are referring to the 2nd Uplink port. It also serves as another means of output to the switch. It can be best described as a second out put so to speak.
@@Tech_Inside_Out okay thanks. That means the second output can be used to link/ connect either a router or NVR?
Hello anyone. I have question.
By using this device , can i combine two different internet service provider so that i can get faster internet. Is it possible?
No, your device can only use one service at a time
@@Tech_Inside_Out ive been searchin fo a couple of mins. And i found this TP-LINK TL-R470T Load Balance Broadband Router
thanks, this helps.
Glad it helped!
Sir, i want to ask some question, i hope you will answer me.
1. does that mean that if we use a router (method 2), we don't need to connect between POE to POE with LAN cable?
2. in method 1, POE to POE use straight or cross lan cable?
thankyou sir.
Hello,
1. No need to connect the POE Switch to the other POE Switch.
2. I used straight through cables, but cross over cables also work, provided it an ethernet cable and well terminated.
How can we selectively turn the power on and off to the camera. How does the set up change in that case.
You cannot turn off power to an individual camera, so long as they are all connected to thesame POE switch. What is possible is to remove its individual connection to switch because there are no controls for regulating power to each port on the POE switch.
Hi. Can a single cat cable carry more that 4 cameras? If so, how? since cat cables have four pairs of wires only? Im cant understand how 😅
Am yet to see something like that.
Please can I connect the two switches if they are more than 100 meter apart, Thanks
It is not advisable.
Good information bro,l have a{ NVR with inbuilt POE switch} which l have connected my IP cameras to,can l connect my IP video intercom to the{ NVR with inbuilt POE switch} since the IP video intercom is 12v
Hello Benjamin,
I don't know the output format of your video intercom so am unable to tell whether it can imterface with the cctv. I may have get the details of your intercom to be able to provide a good answer.
How do i fix unable to connect my jovision nvr remotely because my nvr has two lab ports and am using two Poe switch also and when ever i connect a lan cable with internet to one of the nvr lan ports all my channels goes off
The cameras may go off and come back because a new network is introduced, they will come back on. however, connect each nvr lan to each poe switch and try again. Please let me know how it goes after trying it
Hi, I have 8 channel NVR and two POE switches as above with 4 POE ports. Now I do not have an option to connect two switches as in video. I'm trying to connect uplink port of one switch to NVR's POE port (let's say channel1) and second POE switch's uplink port to NVR's channel 5 directly. This setup works with one switch but not with two switches. Can you help or if I'm missing anything here?
Hello, if your NVR is an 8 channel NVR, the maximum number of cameras you can connect to it is 8 cameras. Also, when POE ports are embedded into the NVR, there will not be need to add a POE Switch to your NVR. In case i haven't gotten your question addressed to your satisfaction, please get back to me again. Best Regards.
One more question. How should I connect the NVR to the internet? Since the networking port has been occupied by the lan cable which is connected to the switch.
There are many ways to do that. Once the internet is connected to the same switch to which the NVR or DVR is connected, the internet will be received on the all devices connected to the switch. I have planned a video that addresses this question. I will send the video link to you when am done but there is a similar video that some how addresses this question. You can watch this ua-cam.com/video/9332RrSYoYo/v-deo.html
@@Tech_Inside_Out God Bless!! :)
Sir i have a question, it is possible can transmit the data of ip camera using cascading of 5 units unmanaged poe switch with 10/100mbps. With ip camera 3 units per poe connected. And transmitting the data into server using ubiquity point to point?
Yes, you can do that.
in the first method can LAN1 of first switch be connected to LAN1 of second switch? becuse connecting LAN1 to POE will reduce the POE port and only 7 Camera can be connected instead of 8
Yes, that's possible
@@Tech_Inside_Out thank you very much
Can you connect the two switches by placing the ethernet wire in both of the uplink ports. Uplink to uplink connection?
Yes, you can
@@Tech_Inside_Out Thank you so much :)
Nice.
Can we use simple switch instead of wireless router to connect between 2 POE switches?
Secondly, i don't have any "Up Link" port in my POE switch, which method will use?
Yes, you can link the switches directly without using a router but the use of a router is most ideal.
Second Question: You can use any of the ports on the switch to give an output of the switch, it would work just in thesame way as an Uplink port.
Hello great video! Could you help me with the following questions ?
If I connect 8 cameras to a switch and then to an NVR PoE port will the NVR be able read all of them automatically and have proper AI function (Hikvision Accusense)
Do I have to use 5port switches and connect 3 cameras to each of them and then each switch to the NVR PoE ports to have automatic detection of the cameras and proper AI function? If I connect a single 8 port switch to the router and the NVR lan port to the router will it recognize them automatically and work the AI on their input image properly?
Hello,
Yes the NVR will automatically pick all the 8 cameras and they will all function well.
Using an 8 port POE switch is most advised when you have it. The situation that requires the use of two switches is when you are placing the cameras on a storey building where you may place one switch at each floor to handle a number of cameras and then link the two switches to one nvr so that you can have all the cameras on one screen.
@@Tech_Inside_Out hi boss pls I. HV a case where buy I HV more than 90 camera and I need to use 5 poe switch on each side that is close to the camera please how can I like the switch to NVR and how many NVR do I need? How many channel switch can I use to like 3 switch to show on screen
Hi, thank you for the video. With following your first method, how many cameras can use at most? As I understand 4 cameras from bottom one switch and 3 cameraas from top switch because one of the port on top switch will be used by bottom switch. So is this method can support 7 cameras? Is it somehow possible to use 8 cameras with those 2 switches?
Hello, with the methods i illustrated, the one that can help maximise the ports for more cameras is the one that uses a router. You can watch this video that best illustrates the method that supports more cameras and more switches if necessary.

Hi.. first method not use router connect???😮
Yes, that method works with few cameras. With larger networks, you need to use a router
can i cascade 5 POE switches the same way?
If the devices to be connected to the switch require a substantial amount of bandwidth, the best way to connect them is by the use of a router to which all the switches will be connected to avoid network congestion.
Sir, can the two switches connected using cable from LAN2 UP LINK port on 1st PoE switch to LAN1 UP LINK port on 2nd PoE switch and then connect LAN2 UP LINK port on 2st PoE switch to router? I want to connect the switches to Router and use all eight (8) PoE port for IP camera.
No, the uplink port serves the purposes of output and not input, so it wont be appropriate to put one switch into the uplink of the other switch
@@Tech_Inside_Out Let say the top PoE switch that directly connected to NVR is 1st switch and the bottom one is 2nd switch. What port to use, if I want to connect to your PoE switch-NVR schema to router? second uplink port on 1st switch to router, second uplink port on 2st switch to router, or whichever PoE port on the two switch to router?
is it possible to connect 3 or 4 different poe switches in a single NVR?
Yes, it is possible. Please see this video, ua-cam.com/video/JNNHmn59BAE/v-deo.html
good
Thanks
Soo awesome
Thanks for the compliment. Expect more informative videos.
How do I connect 3 POE switch to NVR
Please watch this video ua-cam.com/video/jIwOPF0Ra7o/v-deo.html
Please one more question, what if the distance between NVR and other POE is more than one hundred meters.
Hi, i noticed you are using 2 units of 4-channel PoE switch, so must it be a requirement therefore that the NVR be 8- channel? Also, what if you use only 1 unit of 4-channel, will your 8-channel NVR still works?
Hello,
It is not really a requirement to use 2 units of 4 port switches on an 8 channel nvr, you can use a straight 8 port POE switch on it. Likewise if you use just one 4 port POE switch on an 8 channel NVR, the only challenge that will arise will be that you can only connect 4 cameras when infact you could do more than the 4 cameras since the NVR can accommodate up to 8 cameras.
There is an application for which reason i made this particular video, i guess i have not been able to strongly get that application acrosswell enough so i will try and do a video on the application of linking to switches on to an NVR.
Thank you for your reply. In your Demo, are you using 8-channel NVR? What if you use only 1 switch (4-Channels), will your 8-channel NVR still records?
if i use 2 nvr and 2 poe. do you have the tutorial?
Yes, please watch this, it shows how to do it
ua-cam.com/video/qdgTjBTqszQ/v-deo.html
whats the max distance from poe 1 to poe 2??thanks
Up to a 100 meters
Thanks bro
Does using external PoE effect internet traffic?
No please.
Do Peo switches have an IP address?
Each device connected to the POE Switch can either automatically acquire an IP address or you manually assign an IP address to each device.
Please I to learn practically, do you offer such training?
Yes I do. Where do live please?

@@Tech_Inside_Out please sir I have a problem,
I am having problem adding up a client's ip cameras. Last week I successfully installed and configured the system, but the login password for the system was too long, so the client asked me to change it, so I opened the XVR and reset it. After doing that, I changed the login password, then I tried adding back the IP cameras, when searched I can see them but when added, I keep getting the same error message that the username or password is wrong, I have tried all possible username and password I still find it difficult to add cameras and this is over 4 days now, please is there any way you can help me out?
I am using 18 dahua Poe enabled ip cameras, a poe switch and a dahua XVR1B16.
Please help me with a solution.
🙏
do both switch require internet??
When you put internet on one switch, it will be shared with the other switch automatically.
@@Tech_Inside_Out thanks
@@avipatel9960 You are most welcome, I will be uploading a video today, I did a small explanation on how data on a switch is shared. Please look out for that video.
The Internet is not required to enable the switches to communicate BUT whenever you want your cameras connected to the switch to be viewed online, you will require Internet. In connecting the Internet, you just have to connect it to one switch and it would be spread to the other switch automatically since the two switches are linked together
Volume is VERY VERY low on this video!
Well noted, i will work on other contents going forward to ensure the audio is ok
