Erm, not entirely correct.  IP cameras operate using your network, so
they use the same single RJ45 ethernet port as you'd use for remote
access.  Multiple ethernet ports on the DVR are not required to connect
as many IP cameras as your software will support.

Depending on the software, any DVR with four analog inputs MAY be
capable of recording IP cameras.
