1) Do the cameras (in PoE) have to be connected directly to the NVR or is this possible on a Wifi switch in the house?
2) Can a keyboard and screen be connected to the NVR or is access only possible via a PC or Android application?
3) Do the cameras' night lights come on every time they are detected or only if the AI recognises a human silhouette?

1) PoE cameras should ideally be connected directly to the NVR's PoE ports via Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables, which provide both power and data transmission. However, it is also possible to connect them via a compatible PoE switch (IEEE 802.3af/at standards) if the distance exceeds 100 metres or if you wish to extend the number of cameras. The PoE switch must provide sufficient power (up to 30W per port) for the cameras to work properly. A direct Wi-Fi connection from the PoE cameras to the NVR is not yet available, but an official eufy Wi-Fi module is expected soon.
2) The NVR can be connected to an HDMI display and a USB keyboard for direct local control. Access and configuration are also possible via a PC or Android application, but the system does support local display and interaction via screen and keyboard.
3) The cameras' night lighting is activated according to detection, but thanks to local AI, it only comes on if a human silhouette is recognised, thus avoiding unnecessary triggering by other movements. This AI system enables precise detection of people, cars, animals and strangers, optimising the use of night lighting.
