How can I tell if my cameras are the gimped versions or not? I purchased the NVR and 833A cameras as a bundle and then the duo/flood separately. However, when they shipped via amazon, they were not all part of the same kit and invoiced separately in what appeared to be retail packaging. As far as I recall, they all have stickers with QR codes. Based on your linked post, that seems to be the tell-tale sign. Am I correct to assume that sticker with QR = UID and I'm good to go?

My plan is to run them all through a switch and not connect them directly to the NVR so it sounds like this is use case that demands it. I'm graduating from Wyze and dipping my feet into uncharted territory so I appreciate any reassurances from the pros.

UPDATED: Dec 7, 2022 with possible reolink setup.

• (1) reolink Duo 2 or Duo 2 w/ Spotlight watching the front (not sure about the spotlight)
• (1) reolink Trackmix PTZ watching the driveway and a bit of the backyard.
• (2) reolink 810A's, 1 to watch the metal building/studio, 1 watching the backyard/rear of houses.
• (1) reolink 4K 8Ch PoE NVR
• (1) One of these YuanLey 16 Port Gigabit PoE Switches with 2 Gigabit Uplinks. Figure I can use for more than the cameras right? Like run 3-4 cables for my network computers, TV, etc? Just don't know which of these 2 is the better deal. 16 PoE+ Port 1000Mbps, 250W 802.3af/at OR 16 PoE+ Port 10/100Mbps Network Switch, 802.3af/at. Any suggestions u/mblaser?
