NVR Camera Port to Switch.

[Phil23]

Hi All,

Just wondering if I can plug a camera port on my NVR into a switch & get to a remote camera from there.
Figured it would need a vLAN etc.

IE

NVR Port --> Untagged port vLAN 15 on 1st switch --> Tagged port on same switch (vLAN 15) --> Tagged port on 2nd switch (vLAN15)
Untagged (vLAN 15) PoE port on 2nd Switch --> Camera.

Figure if it worked I could plug multiple camera ports into Switch 1 as long as each used a different vLAN.


Sound Right?

Thanks Phil,

Will have to investigate firmware upgrade options here in Aus for my DS-7616NI-I2 / 16P.

Gun shy on that as I bricked it about 18 months back attempting an upgrade & needed to ship it back to the distributors.
It returned a week later on Version V3.4.93 build 170714, & that was Dec 17 when I think either 95 or 96 were available in Europe.

In the meantime I might give the vLAN approach a try. In theory I think it should work if a poe port is given it's own vLAN & that vLan only has 1 Camera.

Cheers.
