Please explain a mini Nvr?

I’m looking to install a very simple small system and trying to understand all the components involved.

A mini NVR looks right for my situation, but I have some questions.

  1. I assume the hard drive is internal… Just a smaller version, laptop style. Or are they intended to use external USB drives?

  2. Camera connections are through the network, right? I mean with a 4 channel mini nvr, one ether net port, and IP cameras, that must mean that everything is networked, rather than cameras direct to nvr. Right?

  3. Which means PoE cameras will likely have to have external power supply… Not direct from whatever hub point they are connected to.

Thanks for any tips.
