You would have to use both connectors, one at each end of the cat 5, to split the line into RJ45 Ethernet and RJ11 phone line, but you don't have to use the Ethernet side if you don't need it.

Hi! In my case, I was connecting my DVR to the internet, so I needed TWO poweline adapters--one to plug the DVR into, the other to plug the router into at the source. All I had to do, however, was plug them in and GO! No software to run, or extra setup needed. My DVR was connected to the internet in minutes. VERY quick and easy setup! I would definitely buy again and rec to friends.

The Ethernet port you plug your camera into must be a (POE port) which can be on your DVR already, or you can use a POE switch which has designated ports for your cameras which will provide power for them.

No. They come with a "twin" cable which carries signal and power. No Ethernet to cameras. DVR uses Ethernet to connect to LAN.

You have to think of these units as replacements for an ethernet cable. No configuration is required and they aren't configurable. Plug the cable from the router into the unit and plug a cable to a network device into the other unit.

I had the same situation basically. This switch is a great device to do just what you want. Just remove the Cat5 plug from the DVR and insert it into the UPLINK of the switch (from the Bridge plug into the uplink. Now just use Cat5 to plug your Blue-ray device and your DVR device into the switch, but make sure you don't use the plug immediately next to the uplink port! That last port does not work in the 5 port model of this switch. Now just power up the switch and all should be working!

It sounds like you want to know if you can connect the cameras and the NVR to the same switch. Probably can if only wants to access the cameras on the local network, but to be able to access them from a remote location you would need to connect them to a router. www.AffordableHomeElectronics.com

No this won't work. You would need 2 of these to go to a router/switch if you wanted to share a single Ethernet line.

You need a HD-DVR box to connect to the internet. With the HD-DVR you can either connect to the internet with an ethernet cable run between the HD-DVR and your network router (you have to have an internet connection), or you can also purchase the DirectV CCK-W Wireless Cinema Connection Kit and connect wirelessly if you have a wireless Local Area Network that is connected to the internet.

Omar, you do not need a router, unless you wish to have several network segments/ subnets. In your case I would keep it simple, from the DVR RJ45 network port to a layer 2 or 3 switch then you to your PC. On A separate subnet from your internet traffic.Hope this helps. The setup instructions included in the system documentation are easy and okay to follow. Hope this gelpsWhat's the distance in feet between your barn and the PC location? If you are running CAT 5/6 cable, the longest cable pull needs to be max 300ft.

I am currently using my DVR and assigned an IP address to the dvr and I connect using the browser to see all the channels from any place in the world. If you want to do that you have to change the command and view port on your DVR, also place the ip of your DVR on the DMZ of your router(Wireless at home)

Janice, I think you can if you have Wi-Fi in your home. That is what I did with mine. It connects your DTV DVR to the Internet without having to run cables. Hope this helps.

There is nothing built in the dvr that would do it but there may be something you can buy from another company to connect to the network port but I have not checked into it. I will say that the wired network port is very stable and we use several of these in an industrial setting and have never had trouble accessing the DVR over the network when we need it. You would need to see if there is some wireless adapter somebody sells that can convert the network port to wireless but I do not know if they exist as I have never looked.

These CCTV Camera's have to be connected directly to a DVR system / It's the DVR system that you connect to your Router via it's built-in LAN jack (CAT-5)

No, Cat5 wired connection is your only option to connect DVR to the router.

You do need to be connected to the internet, but I couldn't easily run an Ethernet wire, so I installed a Linksys PLWK400 network extender kit. The sending unit connects to your router and into an electrical wall socket; the receiver plugs into an electrical wall socket then run a wire from the receiver into the Denon. The internet data gets transmitted through your electrical system and the Denon thinks you are connected directly to your router. For under $100 this works great.

you only need these if you are using a single cat5 or cat6 to run power/video/audio. if you are running a cat5 power hub, you are using only for power, then no need to run the wire all the way to the DVR, only one connector is needed at the camera location
