Connecting 64 Cameras with External PoE Switches

64 channel NVRs have no built-in PoE ports. External PoE switches supply power to the cameras and carry their video over Ethernet cable. The switches connect to the local network, where the NVR receives and records the video.

For example, place one switch in the main building and another in a network-connected outbuilding. Each camera connects to its nearby switch, while one NVR records both buildings. This avoids bringing every camera cable back to the recorder.

AvaEye and Avalonix NVRs automatically discover compatible cameras on the same subnet. CCTV Camera World also offers camera IP address pre-configuration before shipment when needed for the installation. Our team helps you select PoE switches with enough ports, power, and network capacity for your cameras.

What to Look for in a 64 Channel NVR

• Camera resolution: Choose a recorder for the cameras you plan to use, including 4K, 12MP, or 16MP models. You can mix resolutions, such as 4K cameras for general coverage and higher-resolution cameras where you need more detail.
• Recording bandwidth: This is the total video data the NVR accepts from its cameras, measured in Mbps. Add the cameras' recording bitrates and choose a recorder with room above that total. Channel count alone does not tell you how much video the recorder handles.
• Viewing and playback: Consider how you will watch the system: on a monitor connected to the NVR, through computer software, or from your phone. Recording 64 cameras and playing back 64 recordings at once are different capabilities.
• Storage capacity: Compare the number of hard drive bays and the drive sizes each recorder accepts. Plan around how many days of footage you want to keep.
• Camera compatibility: Match the recorder to your camera series for straightforward setup and smart event recording. For existing third-party cameras, check ONVIF compatibility before choosing the NVR.

How Much Recording Bandwidth Do You Need?

As an example, 64 cameras set to 4 Mbps each produce 256 Mbps of video. That is a starting point for selecting the NVR and switch connections, with extra capacity for audio and bitrate changes. Use your planned camera settings for this calculation; a 4K camera does not have one fixed bitrate.

Local Storage for Continuous or Motion Recording

Video stays on hard drives inside the NVR, with no monthly cloud storage fee. Choose continuous recording for a full timeline, scheduled recording for set hours, or motion recording to save footage when activity occurs. Internet access is not required for local recording.

Drives ordered with the recorder are installed before shipment. Use our security camera storage calculator to estimate capacity from your camera count, resolution, frame rate, and recording schedule. Calculate for the cameras you expect to add, too.

Help Before and After Your Purchase

CCTV Camera World helps homeowners, business owners, and installers put together 64 channel systems. Tell us which areas you want to cover, how the buildings connect, and whether you are keeping any existing cameras. Our U.S.-based team helps you choose the equipment and plan the setup.

NVRs and cameras are tested before shipment. Free phone and email technical support is available during business hours for equipment purchased from us. Contact our team for help with a new installation or a recorder replacement.

64 Channel NVR Questions

What is a 64 channel NVR?

A 64 channel NVR is a network video recorder that records up to 64 IP security cameras. It stores footage on local hard drives and provides one place to view cameras, search recordings, and manage recording schedules.

Do I need all 64 cameras to get started?

No. Connect the cameras you need now and add more later, up to the recorder's 64-channel capacity. This is a practical choice when your installation will grow beyond 32 cameras.

Does a 64 channel PoE NVR have built-in PoE ports?

All 64 channel NVR recorders use external PoE switches rather than built-in PoE ports. The switches power the cameras and connect them to the network, while the NVR records their video.

Can a 64 channel NVR record 4K, 12MP, and 16MP cameras?

Yes. Our selection includes models for 4K, 12MP, and up to 16MP cameras. Choose a recorder that accepts your cameras' resolutions and total recording bitrate. You can mix camera resolutions on the same recorder.

Does a 64 channel NVR need internet?

No. Local recording and viewing on a connected monitor work without internet. Internet access is needed for viewing away from the property and mobile push notifications.

How many days of video will a 64 camera NVR store?

Recording time depends on hard drive capacity, camera bitrates, and recording schedules. There is no fixed number of days for a 64 channel recorder. Use our storage calculator to estimate the space needed for your setup.

Can one NVR record cameras in two buildings?

Yes. One NVR records cameras in multiple buildings connected through the same local network. Place PoE switches near the camera groups and connect the buildings with a network link that carries their combined video traffic.
