NVR over Router setup using POE (Power Over Ethernet) Switch

There is a specific way, by which all the devices used in the project are connected to make it work. Below I am sharing the connections of all the devices used like NVR, IP Camera, Router and POE Switch, that clearly defines, how connections are made and which ports are used keeping in mind the networking concepts. 

Connection Diagram of IP CCTV

Following the diagram, I have collected all the devices together using LAN Cables and also giving DC power individually to all the devices. Here, the devices connected from left to right are Router, PoE Switch, NVR, Camera.

Lets start one by one: 

1. Router: 

Here, I have used a 4 port Router of Make Tenda. Firstly, I gave it a 9 V 1.0 Amp DC power supply to switch it ON and in WPS port , I connected the network cable with internet connection, for this I have used the operator of Virgin media. Then from one out of the four ports present in it, I connected it to the up link port in the PoE switch, that transfers the Ethernet signals into the switch to distribute it in other Cameras and NVR.

                                                    

2. PoE Switch: 

Here, I have an 8 port switch of make Advik. Then. I gave it power using a 48 Volt  5 Amp adapter from the front panel. It uses more power because it give Power as well as Ethernet signals to both DVR and Cameras. Hence, requires more power than other apparatus. Then in the back panel, in up-link port, I had connected it with the router by using a 0.5 Mtr Patch cable. Then the switch distributes the power and Ethernet network to the Camera and NVR, which are connected with the switch through CAT6 Network Cable. Here, Out of the 8 ports of the switch, two are used one is for camera and other is for NVR; Rest of the ports can be used to connect more cameras or switches.

3. Network Video Recorder (NVR):

The NVR used is a 4 Channel NVR of the make Hikvision that can support upto 4 Cameras. It is connected with the switch through its LAN port. As my NVR is not PoE enabled. Hence, I am providing an external power supply to it of 12 V 2 Amp. Otherwise, I did not had to add an adapter to it because PoE switch can send both Power and Ethernet signal to the NVR. To connect it with the Switch, CAT6 Network Cable with RJ 45 connectors at both the ends are used to establish a connection.

4. Camera:

Finally, I am using a Dome shaped IP camera for Indoor of Make: Dahua. It has two ports: one is for DC power supply and other is for network inpit. As this camera is PoE enabled, hence, only by connecting switch with the camera through the network cable both power and network signal can be sent to the camera. Where as, if instead of PoE switch, normal switch was used than a local supply should have been needed to supply power and just by inserting the network cable from NVR to Camera, the camera can be accessed. 

Like this, the connection of the devices are made and then the final step is to configure the DVR with all the apparatus.
