Yes you can.
Your requirement can be driven by use cases such as:
(1) Have centralized Network design with all camera feeds recorded in common place, but need few cameras to be visible to security at the gates (deterrent value and enhance his eyesight)
(2) have decentralized architecture with every building having its own CCTV monitoring and recording area, but we also want to observe/store everything in central area for redundancy or management.
If your requirement is to just watch feeds, then one of the two methods below would suffice
(1) In second location keep an small NVR (4-8 ch) + Monitor and add the camera to that NVR also. The small NVR need not have a disk if no recording is done, just live monitoring. For decentralized system, this could be a big CMS or bigger NVR. This is very simple to get get up and running and also to operate.
(2) In the second location, add a decent android STB + Monitor, run client software (like iVMS 4500 HD in case of Hikvision) in kiosk mode and configure all channels to be monitored here. This will only work for a small number of cameras and therefore more suitable to add secondary live monitoring to a centralized architecture.
You should put the secondary setup also on UPS. You get 15.6" 1080p monitors which run on USB (5V -1A) supply and android STBs are ARM based typically run again on 5V-2A setups, giving a power supply need of less than 25W with mouse and keyboard. Why I am pointing this out is that you can run the entire setup of a PoE+ port, with splitter, splitter cables, barrel to micro USN converters and so on, assuming that the switches are put on UPS. Suitable for about 4 cameras maximum.
