Possible to use a switch on POE cam?

I have an NVR system with 16 channels/ports on the back. I have one camera on the far side of my house served with a long cat 6 cable. I would like to add a second camera in the same location facing a different direction and I was about to run a second long cable out to it and then I realized that I have a power outlet right next to it and I have a spare ethernet switch so ... is it possible to plug 2 separate cameras into the switch and then plug that switch into 1 single port on the back of the NVR and have it recognize both cameras?

So I guess the simpler question is ... is each "channel" of the NVR directly connected to each "port" of the back of the NVR, or can you plug multiple cameras into a single port with a switch as long as you don't go above the number of channels that the NVR can handle?
