3  Can I connect a switch into the POE ports on the back of the NVR?

Yes you can connect a switch into one of the POE ports on the back of the NVR, however we suggest a maximum of 4 cameras running through a single POE port. The cameras would also need manually assigning IP addresses and manually added to the NVR.

No, the audio input on NVR’s is for 2 way communication, in order to record audio on a NVR it must come from an IPC that supports an Audio input.
