Thanks Dan,
"Cameras on port 2
LAN on port 1"
That has been my goal for the IP camera and home network/internet hookup.
I have a couple of questions about your "Option 6:" that you have posted in my new topic "Connecting cameras of differing power" I opened up the other day. I got 2 responses to the question there that seem to conflict? Will sort it out in the "Connecting cameras of differing power" topic.
As for "may clean up some of the camera issues", I still have to post the new topic "SIP-EMVD-21-4R recording/audio problem", and will sort out that continuing problem on the topic post. Hope you are right about it being a fix.
Until I get both cameras on Ethernet port 2, I plan to try swapping my current PTZ from port 2 to port 1, and the SIP-EMVD-21 to port 2 and see if that improves the recording issue on the SIP-EMVD-21.
Also a correction here to something I wrote in my #23 post above on January 21, 2016 - 6:39 pm where I wrote:

It should have read:

Just so you know we will be on the same page when it comes to DVR Ethernet ports for camera and LAN/internet use.
Anyway, I will start the new topic "SIP-EMVD-21-4R recording/audio problem" and deal with the SIP-EMVD-21 camera issues in it.
And I want you to know I appreciate your time and effort in this forum to help me with my setup problems. THANKS
