PoE NVR vs. PoE Switch: Which is Right for Your Surveillance System?

In this comprehensive KZbin video, we explore the crucial choice between PoE NVRs and PoE Switches for your surveillance setup. Join us as we break down the differences, advantages, and best use cases for both technologies. Discover the power of PoE (Power over Ethernet) and how it simplifies camera installations, reducing cable clutter and optimizing efficiency.

If the security camera offers more memory flexibility with use of a micro sd card would one be able to use a switch instead of an nvr and plug the switch directly to a router? Then use the cameras app to access live feed, recordings, etc.

[@Fastcabling]

If your cameras have the capability to record directly to a microSD card and provide a way to access the recordings remotely, you can potentially bypass the need for an NVR. But please be aware that MicroSD cards may have limited storage capacity compared to dedicated hard drives in an NVR. The amount of footage you can store depends on the size of the microSD cards and how often you overwrite old recordings.

Wow, that was extremely concise and informative, thank you. May I ask, how many HD or 4K cameras can operate across a single CAT6 cable? For instance, CAT6 from PoE switch to NVR.

[@Fastcabling]

CAT6 cables can support up to 10Gbps but typically operate at 1Gbps over distances up to 100 meters. The bandwidth requirement per camera depends on the resolution and frame rate at which the camera records. For example: A 1080p HD camera might use about 4 Mbps (Megabits per second). A 4K camera might use around 20 Mbps or more, depending on the codec and frame rate. Also, you need to ensure the PoE switch can provide adequate power for all the cameras. Standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af) can supply up to 15.4 watts per port, whereas PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) can supply up to 30 watts per port.

[@mclovengarcia2883]

Can I connect both together since the poe switch doesn't have a hard drive memory? Or what is the best solution? Thanks. I like your videos!!!

[@Fastcabling]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you find the information helpful. Yes, you can connect a PoE switch and a PoE NVR together in a security camera system, but there are some important considerations to keep in mind: When you connect an 8-port PoE switch to a 4-channel PoE NVR, the PoE NVR will be able to record video footage from all cameras connected through the PoE switch. However, when viewing live feeds, you might be restricted to monitoring up to four cameras simultaneously on the NVR's interface. So it would be better to connect the PoE switch to a standalone NVR. For small to medium-sized systems with a limited number of cameras, a PoE NVR can be a convenient all-in-one solution. For larger systems, or if you already have a network infrastructure, a PoE switch might be more suitable. The PoE switch allows for easier scalability by adding more switches, while the PoE NVR might have limitations on the number of cameras it can support.

Hi, U mean, if i got a 4ch nvr, and 8pcs ip cam, the nvr able to record all 8 cams ?

[@norman2106]

Which is the best method will use with 16channel/16 ip camera

[@Fastcabling]

For a 16-channel/16 IP camera setup, using a PoE NVR simplifies cabling and power management directly through the NVR. However, if you require more flexibility with camera placement or extended distances beyond what the PoE NVR supports, pairing a standard NVR with a separate PoE switch is the way to go.

[@mudd2.090]

What is the best option for Poe camera direct to hdmi monitor. I don't require recording just live view?

[@Fastcabling]

Most IP cameras come with software or apps that might be able to cast or stream directly to a monitor. The computer can access the camera stream using appropriate software (like VLC or proprietary software from the camera manufacturer), and then output via its HDMI to the monitor.

[@PNPTechTips]

good

[@Peterplayz168]

if using poe switch + nvr, it will reduce the processing data burden of nvr (it will not torture the nvr)? or it is the same between poe switch+nvr compare with poe nvr ?

[@Fastcabling]

The key point is that whether cameras are connected directly to the NVR or through a PoE switch, the NVR's processing load is primarily influenced by the number of cameras, their resolution, frame rate, and the complexity of any additional processing (motion detection, analytics, etc.). The method of connection (direct or through a switch) does not significantly change the processing demands on the NVR.

I'm very impressed by her command of English! Not only did she have to learn standard English, she had to learn technical jargon and product abbreviations!

Thanks! Stay Tuned!
