As the title says, I see IP cameras being plugged into the NVR ports and this whole concept of 8/16 port NVR.
Now besides the incoming bandwidth issue on that port, I cant see any reason why they need to be directly connected to the NVR?
Why cant I treat the camera like any other device on the network and *tell* them where to find the NVR.
If the uplink port is a gig port, I dont think bandwidth should be an issue with 4-6 1080p cameras.
I havent played with IP cameras much but am planning to order one (dahua).
Is there no setting on the camera for where the NVR is and its an hardcoded assumption that the two are directly connected.
But its still IP traffic which needs to be analyzed by the stack on the NVR before it understands that this is info coming from the cameras or someone requesting my webpage.
The only thing I can think of is that there is no way to tell the camera where the NVR server is and hence directly connected.
What am I missing here?
