NVR for local storage, HD cameras with cloud storage options, and sPoE
Repeaters to connect the cameras. The sPoE repeater allows you to run one
cable from your router to power on multiple cameras in each zone of your
business. It will also allow for longer cable runs from your NVR.

you may use a network switch, however your sPoE Repeater(s) and NVR must
be connected to the same network.
