Adding multiple PoE cameras through a single cable to the NVR

[lynn_148664495075473]

I have a RLN-16 NVR with a bunch of RLC-410 and a couple of RLC-420 cameras (all PoE cameras) that display on a large monitor in the house. I don't use a phone app. I want to add five more PoE cameras to an outbuilding. I don't want wireless and I'm trying to avoid running 5 cables to the outbuilding. Can I have the PoE cameras connected to a POE switch in the outbuilding and connect that to a single cable that runs from the outbuilding to the NVR in the house? Will the NVR recognize that there are 5 cameras and display them on the monitor as 5 unique displays? I'm afraid, though, that there may be performance problems doing it that way. Running 5 cables isn't prohibitive, I'm just trying to see if I can streamline it without resorting to wireless.

@lynn_148664495075473 Yes you can provided the total number of cameras won't exceed 16. Check out this link https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012389133-Can-I-Add-a-PoE-Switch-Between-the-Reolink-PoE-Cameras-and-Reolink-PoE-NVR/

@joseph_1979 Well, 8/2.8 is not 3, it is actually 2.86, but I appreciate the clarification.
