How to connect switches correctly in a ring with redundancy?

Question

CCTV

Good afternoon! Tell me please, we are building video surveillance around the perimeter on an 8-fiber optical cable. 8 switches, 15 video cameras are used. Question. How to connect switches to each other? As I understand it, the reception of 1 switch goes to the transmission of 2 switches. From the second switch, the reception goes to the transmission of 3 switches, etc. until it returns to the first switch. I understood correctly. I'm sorry I don't have any build experience.

Not right.
Hire a person competent in this matter.

Your switches must support technology: Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) , EPSR(Ethernet Protection Switched Ring) or other similar technology that provides ring operation.
Otherwise, the ring will just be a ring - and nothing will work.

Answer 3

It doesn't look like commutatops support ring technology. If it is not there, just by closing the network in a ring you will find a non-working system.
Make a star topology. From the central switch by cable to each.
In your case, along the chain, if, for example, switch number 3 fails (hangs, dies), then all switches behind it stop working. 4,5,6...
