This system is advertised as an 8 channel NVR but from the picutre I'm seeing only 4 ethernet ports. How are the other 4 cams connected?

The software can handle 8 cameras but the poe switch in the back of the unit only has 4 ports. To hook up more than 4 cameras you would have to hook them up to an external poe switch or use a switch and injectors to get the power to the cameras.

through a router/network. it's a little misleading and i haven't gotten the four through the router connected... but it can read 4 through its ports and an additional 4 through the network its plugged into

The 4 included 720p high definition IP cameras connect directly to the NVR using the included 100-foot RJ-45 Ethernet cables which supply power to the cameras and video to the recorder.

Four cameras plug into the unit itself the other 4 plug into a switch that has power over Ethernet built in. You will have to buy a switch with POE and plug it into NVR.

Directly to router. They can all be viewed through the DVR but it takes some setup to do.

if you refer to attaching cameras to dvr, You can make an adaptation, so you won´t escape from having electrical outlets in each camera location, and having 4 transceivers also with a bunch of cables on their way. the cost is so high for what you want, is better to search for IP based wireless cameras with NVR and compare. in other hand if you refer to network connection for remote viewing, you can do what Mr Roubach commented on previous post, with a router or with Access point (with bridge or client features enabled) attached to dvr on Ethernet port.

Here is a POE solution.. "PoE Injector/Splitter" I just ordered 2, seems to have good reviews, if it works then no need to worry about getting cameras with POE anymore...And it is really inexpensive... Under $7 Prime!Item: B00DZLSRJCHuacam HCP05 Passive PoE Injector/Splitter with 5.5 x 2.1 mm Connector

Sorry for the delay in answering you...things have been a bit off track because of the long Holiday weekendHere is the answer from our technical people.You need 1 unit for 4 cameras. PoE provides Power and Data for camera up to 300 feet.Hope that helps,John Duncan1-888-445-8375

Okay, now a more honest answer. Yes, this is a wired NVR, but you could use a wireless bridge or some other similar device that you plug into the NVR.

Its a Samsung version of poe but there is no seperate power supply it plugs in ethernet straight into the DVR. You can extend the footage with extra ethernet and no power supply is needed for the camera.

I have it hooked to four cameras i purchased from harbor freight...the way i have it hooked up is very unconventional because my cameras need to be hooked to the mini monitor they came with for their power...so i had to purchase different male and female connectors for it to work...i looked on amazon to see what might work for me and went from there...i decided to go that avenue because the quality of both audio and video from my cameras was worth the extra effort. Most cameras can be hooked to this dvr by obtaining the right connectors.If you need additional help...feel free to ask...i know it can get very frustrating.

The system comes with wires that has the video and power in them,, just run wire from box to camera and of course connect box to a tv or computer screen and you will see images, you can connect up to 8 cameras to the box, each came am will have its own wire,, good luck

Used mine for analog cameras one at the camera and one at the DVR (bnc) & wall wart (power). The IP cameras are connected to a PoE switch for power and data transfer over CAT5.

You need an ethernet (power over ethernet). I had one spot prewired. The way the cam is detected is via your power outlet.

This comes with 4 cameras so you'll only see 4channels. It allows you to have up to 8 channel so you can buy extra cameras n have all 8 channels showing

You can have up to 4 cameras plug into one outlet, near the DVR. No outlet is needed near the camera location. Hope that helps

If the camera is in the same network (bridge) of the NVR you can use any equipment from any manufacturer you want. If the camera is in a different network, you have to do a port forward as follows: The Following ports are used on airVision host: - 1935, by user, RTMP (Video) - 7443, by user, HTTPS - 7080, by user, HTTP - 123, by AIRCAM, UDP (NTP time server) The Following ports are used on airCams: - 554, by airVision, RTSP - 22, by airVision, SSH

It sounds like you want to know if you can connect the cameras and the NVR to the same switch. Probably can if only wants to access the cameras on the local network, but to be able to access them from a remote location you would need to connect them to a router. www.AffordableHomeElectronics.com

The switch seems to handle the three POE ip cams i have installed just fine. "foscams" Which cameras are you going to use? I also have Blue IRIS insalled on a PC. Blue Iris does a decent job at managing the cameras, but i have noticed that performce is weak when trying to do continues recording from 3 cameras. Some of that may be the pc im using but i am unwilling to invest in a new computer for just the purpose of running the cameras. There is not a lot of documentation with the software and its not very intuitive. I have 4 total and it will work with a wide verity of cameras. I dont have any experience with NVR's. I have looked into them but they seem pretty pricy. If you have not bought any cameras or equipment yet, I would strongly point you in the direction of CCTV systems. You can easily get a system for the same cost of buying 4 POE cameras. I wish someone had told me this before i got started. You will still be required to pull the cable to cameras either way. I think the upside with CCTV would be that the dVR is doing all the recording continusly. They do a great "Superior" job at what they are designed to do. PC based systems are kind of shakey at this price point. In most cases you can record up to two weeks worth at a time, with several cameras with a DVR system and have alerts sent and motion triggers. I have seen the difference in between my setup and two different CCTV systems. One of them "lorex" and the second "swan" If I had it to do all over again i would go with CCTV. Id buy a 4 camera set with a dVR with room to expand up to 8 cameras. I started with one camera and now have four. Its good to have room to grow. Just FYI I have seen a 4 camera setup with 4, 700 lines of resolution cameras for less or close then what your going to spend on POE. One last note you will also be able to remote monitor with your smart phone or web browser just like using POE and Blue Iris. More info then you wanted I know, but just my 2 cents!
