Installation of IP CCTV camera system using a single Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch for remote viewing on your phone involves several steps. Here's a general guide to help you set up your system:

Materials Needed:

1. IP CCTV cameras with PoE support

2. PoE switch

3. Ethernet cables

4. NVR (Network Video Recorder) or a compatible software solution

5. Router with internet connectivity

6. Smartphone with a compatible app for remote viewing

Step 1: Plan Your Camera Placement:

Ø Determine where you want to install your cameras for optimal coverage.

Ø Ensure the chosen locations have access to power outlets or are suitable for PoE installation.

Step 2: Connect Cameras to PoE Switch:

Ø Connect each IP CCTV camera to the PoE switch using Ethernet cables. Make sure to use cables of appropriate length.

Ø The PoE switch will provide power and transmit data to the cameras over a single cable.

Step 3: Connect PoE Switch to NVR or Router:

Ø Connect the PoE switch to the NVR or directly to your router using an Ethernet cable.

Ø If using an NVR, connect it to the router as well.

Step 4: Configure IP Addresses:

Ø Access the camera settings through a web browser by typing each camera's IP address into the address bar.

Ø Assign each camera a unique IP address within your network.

Ø Note down the IP addresses for future reference.

Step 5: Configure NVR (if applicable):

Ø If using an NVR, configure it to recognize and record footage from the connected cameras.

Ø Follow the manufacturer's instructions for setting up the NVR.

Step 6: Install Mobile App:

   Download and install the mobile app provided by the camera or NVR manufacturer on your smartphone.

Step 7: Configure Remote Access:

   - Enable port forwarding on your router to allow remote access to the NVR or cameras.

   Configure the mobile app with the necessary information, such as your external IP address and port number.

Step 8: Test Remote Viewing:

   - Open the mobile app on your smartphone and log in using the provided credentials.

   Verify that you can view the live feed from your cameras remotely.

Tips:

    Ensure your router has a static external IP address or use Dynamic DNS (DDNS) for easier remote access.

   Follow security best practices, such as using strong passwords for cameras and the NVR, and keeping firmware up-to-date.

Please note that specific steps may vary depending on the brand and model of your equipment. Always refer to the manufacturer's documentation for detailed instructions.
