Sorry if this is a dumb question (it sounds dumb in my head) but...
I have a HIKVISION DS-7732NI-K4/16P NVR which currently has around 5 HIKVISION DS-2CD2346G2-I network cameras attached directly into the PoE ports on the back of the NVR. All good and working well.
I've got one location that needs two cameras but I've only got one cable run there which is currently powering one camera.
I have a D-Link 2-port PoE extender that is capable of powering two of cameras from the existing cable (that's getting power from the PoE port on the back of the NVR).
Should I be able to see the feed from both cameras in the Hikvision web portal? In my mind both cameras are connected to the same port on the back of the NVR so I can't see how it can differentiate the feeds from two cameras?
If I'm connecting cameras directly into the 16 PoE ports on the back of the NVR must each one have it's own dedicated cable between it and the NVR?
This is a question for another time (but kind of related)... How does it work if I ever wanted to have more than 16 cameras attached to the NVR (which can take up to 32 cameras/channels)? Would that need a PoE switch with enough ports and juice to accommodate the cameras and in turn it just feeds into the single LAN port on the back of the NVR?
Thanks all...
