Is the PoE switch on Hikvison NVRs useful?

Recommended Posts

I bought a Hikvision NVR that has a 16 port PoE switch and also a single LAN port.

It seems devices connected to any of the PoE switch ports cannot be reached from the network that connects to the single LAN port.

Instead its a separate independent network. It means that I cannot manage individual cameras that are connected to the PoE ports from my computer on the main network.

Is this intentional in the design? and is there a work around?

Is there a big downside to just buying NVR without PoE ports and buy a separate PoE switch.

1.You are missing point

The whole idea is to keep cam traffic separate

2.If u want to manage cam u can connect comp to cam port

also check if unit has "virtual host" option
