Can Two Cameras be Connected via One Cable?
No. Reolink PoE cameras can be powered over the Ethernet cable, and the Ethernet cable can transmit both data and PoE power.
You may run 1 Ethernet cable from the NVR to a PoE switch, then plug 2 cameras (up to 3 cameras) to the PoE switch.
However, please don't split 1 Ethernet cable into 2 RJ45 connectors, as 1 PoE port can't provide enough power for 2 cameras. And also, the Ethernet splitter doesn't support 2 cameras to connect to network at the same time.
