Hi Guys
We have 18 cameras around my farm. Using external TPlinks which have upto 300mbps bandwidth.
We have cat5e cable coming from the main office to a tp link which is receiving all 18 cameras. Then going to a gigabit switch then into the NVR. The cameras are 4mp hikvision set to medium and 16 frame rate. There are no runs of cat5e cable over 20 meters long.
Cameras are slow/laggy, jerky, even though the quality is set to fairly low. Im wondering if 18 cameras from the office TPlink down a cat5e cable to the gigbit switch is causing the issue? Could i be right?
There are 7 cameras going to a 100mbps switch half way, which then another tplink beams those 7 cameras to the office. But this shouldn't work out at much more than 75mbps going into that switch?
Any advice would be a huge help? I'm wondering if the 7 camera (half way) switch should be upgraded to a gigbit switch as well?
Realllllly hope someone can throw some ideas
Thanks in advance
