Hi,
I’m using the Hikvision DS-3WF1000-EI-2N wireless bridge.


I’m planning to connect three cameras to it using a PoE switch.
The switch will do two things:


  1. Power the bridge itself via its PoE IN port (LAN1)
  2. Provide PoE and network for three cameras connected behind the bridge (via LAN2)

So basically, the bridge will just act as a wireless data link, and everything (including the bridge) is powered by the switch.


Is this setup possible? Will the bridge handle traffic from all three cameras over the wireless link?


I'll include a diagram of a similar setup I found – just imagine it with one extra dome camera, and the PoE switch placed inside the same grey box as shown in the image.


Thanks!
