I prefer the NVR have it's own POE switch built in. What this does in essence is create it's own parallel network, keeping the cameras on their own separate subnet within the NVR. The cameras are isolated to the NVR. The NVR becomes the one device that communicates with the cameras for recording and remote viewing, and yet it still gets plugged into your router for remote access. Your bandwidth will only take a hit when you open cameras remotely to view on the NVR, which of course is dealt with by viewing lower resolution sub streams. There are lots of people who prefer not to have POE built into the NVR for various reasons, opting to create virtual servers. As much as I see the merit in that, the ease and simplification of the POE NVR is just too good, for me personally. It's the hub of the camera traffic. And I can sit right at the monitor on the NVR and open full resolution views with no worries at all about bandwidth limitations.

Can you show a diagram of this with two switches?

It's just one of the nvr's with POE built in. They are available here for purchase.
