Questions about wired POE video

[sandib]

I’m looking at getting a Surety Complete package including 4 wired outdoor cameras. A few questions:

1. Is the SVR210 compatible with the wired AI cameras (ADC-VC727P)?
2. Looks like I’d need a POE switch for the 4 cameras. Is that included, or do you have recommended models?
3. Are SD cards included with the cameras and/or are they necessary when using an SVR?
4. Is the WiFi Smart Gateway (ADC-SG130) needed/recommended for a setup like this?

Are SD cards included with the cameras and/or are they necessary when using an SVR?

SD Cards are not included with the camera but they are recommended as a backup incase the SVR210 or the hard drive have any sort of malfunction. The link below has a list of recommended security SD Cards

Security Camera SD Cards

Security Camera SD Cards Using an SD card with a security camera gives you independence from network-based storage. It means that during an event of a network outage, the security camera can keep recording and saving footage on its SD card.

If you use four ADC-VC727P with the TP-Link TL-SF1005P POE switch, you do not need the Smart Gateway as the cameras will communicate to alarm.com through the ethernet wire which is providing both power and internet.
