8716P Hybrid NVR Installation Guide
13
Feature Overview
Video Inputs
There are 8 analog video inputs and 8 PoE ports on the back of the unit for a total of 16 camera
channels available.
The PoE IP cameras are connected through a short Ethernet cable between the
Camera
Loopback
Ethernet port and the
0/1 Camera
Ethernet port.
The other IP cameras (non PoE) can be added to the unit two different ways:
•
Connect the camera to any one of the 8 available PoE ports. The PoE module has a built in
Ethernet switch with an aggregate port labeled
Camera Loopback
. This is a Gigabit Ethernet
port. The other PoE ports 1 to 8 are 10/100 Ethernet ports with PoE.
•
IP cameras can also connect to the recorder through a camera network on the camera Ethernet
port (see “Ethernet Ports, USB Ports, Video and HD Monitor Output” on page 21). IP cameras
are connected using a CAT5e cable or a cable of higher performance, such as CAT6 cable.
The number of IP cameras the unit supports depends on the number of analog cameras in use.
Of the 16 total camera channels available:
•
8 are hybrid channels which can include any combination of 0-8 analog cameras and 0-8 IP
cameras.
•
8 are IP-only channels which can include any combination of 0-8 PoE IP cameras and 0-8 non-
PoE IP cameras.
Note:
There is a maximum of 8 analog channels available and a maximum of 8 PoE IP channels
available.
Video Inputs on BNC Coaxial Connector
The analog video inputs are BNC coaxial connectors that support NTSC and PAL inputs.
