About This Architecture
Eight IP cameras distributed across warehouse perimeter, entrance, loading dock, and storage zones feed into a 16-port PoE network switch that centralizes power and data delivery. Video streams flow from the switch to a 16-channel NVR for recording and management, with redundant RAID storage for archival and a dedicated monitoring station for real-time surveillance. This architecture eliminates separate power infrastructure by leveraging Power over Ethernet, reducing installation complexity and cost while maintaining high availability across critical warehouse zones. Fork this diagram on Diagrams.so to customize camera placement, add additional zones, or integrate with your access control system. The modular design supports future expansion beyond 16 cameras through additional PoE switches daisy-chained to the primary unit.
