Sec Camera -> PoE Switch -> L3 Switch -> NVR? (lemmy.ca)

Is it possible to have about 4 PoE cameras attached to a PoE switch in a network closet which will be trunked to a L3 switch where the NVR will be also attached too?

Or would it be better practice to home the NVR in the network closet to supply the power natively.

There is nothing wrong with your proposed design. It’s unnecessary to run the cameras all the way to the same switch as your NVR.

Great! Thank you for reassuring me. I was having some heat exhaustion being in an attic too long and went into panic mode and not thinking clearly. I appreciate all of y'all helping me out.

Cheers.
