Hi Gabriel… yes it is very possible but depending on a few things 

are the 3 cameras located in same area and the distance from cameras to recorder

 

but yes 3 cameras down one cat cable is done by running all 3 cameras to a 4way Poe switch 

you then have the option to run one cat cable from switch to router or using tp-link Ethernet power adapters

tx @Integrator , the cameras will be on a pole and within about 20cm of one another, so there should not be a problem. the nvr i will use is a 16ch poe enabled unit. i presume the 4 way poe switch will have to be next to the cameras.
