The cameras we're thinking of buying have external mic ports. My assumption is that the sound will be recorded along with the video via the Ethernet cable back to the NVR - Is it a safe assumption that the file being recorded will have sound as well as video? Thanks!

Sam228, thanks - gives us some things to ponder ; -)

Hello. I do IT for a university. Not much AV experience, but here we go... We have 3 small rooms (11x15) where we will record video and audio over a dedicated Ethernet network. Each room will have 2 cameras so we can capture the people in a circular group therapy session. Having no experience in this I'll need your help to determine if I can do what they need and what gear to use. Can an NVR take the feed of two of our six cameras and one microphone, save that as a single file (or recording) and play the two camera's recordings side-by-side or top/bottom for playback? I may have created more questions - please help me ask the right ones to figure out what we need.

Hello, I'm a computer support technician at a university and my department will be recording group therapy sessions. Rooms have POE Ethernet (is that redundant?) and we will be shopping for cameras, microphones and learning about using an NVR. I'm going to need a lot of your help
