Is it possible to have about 4 PoE cameras attached to a PoE switch in a network closet which will be trunked to a L3 switch where the NVR will be also attached too?

Or would it be better practice to home the NVR in the network closet to supply the power natively.

    Apologies for late reply (Was in Hospital for the past 4 days).

    I am running Cat6 to the cameras (only future proof). Then running Cat8 between the trunks in a pex tube for the potential to swap to fiber.

    What was tripping me up was the PoE on the switch and it couldn’t talk to the NVR hosted on another switch.

    Ya think I would have clearer sense on this as I did the CCNA exam facepalm.

    Thank you for the reassurance!
