High Power 24 Port PoE+ Plus Switch

24 Port High Power PoE+ Switch for Security Cameras

This high power 24 port PoE+ switch can supply data and power to up to 24 PoE cameras. It provides a 370W total PoE power budget, making it a practical choice for larger security camera systems, business camera systems, and NVR expansion projects that need more PoE ports than a standard small switch can provide.

A 24 port PoE switch is useful when you need to power many IP cameras from one central network location. Instead of using a separate power supply for each camera, the switch sends both power and data over the same Ethernet cable. This helps keep camera installations cleaner, easier to manage, and better organized for homes, offices, warehouses, retail stores, schools, and commercial buildings.

For uplink, the switch includes two Gigabit 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 uplink ports for connecting to a router, computer, NVR, or another network switch. It also includes one Gigabit 1000Base-X SFP uplink port that shares bandwidth with the second uplink port, giving you the option to use a compatible SFP module for fiber uplink applications.

As an unmanaged PoE switch, setup is simple. Connect the switch to your router or NVR, then connect your PoE cameras to the switch. Each of the 24 PoE+ ports supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at and can provide up to 30W per port, as long as the total connected load stays within the 370W PoE power budget.

This switch is also NDAA compliant, making it a good fit for customers who need professional network equipment for NDAA compliant security camera systems. It can be used with NDAA compliant cameras, NVRs, and accessories for business, school, contractor, and government-related surveillance projects where equipment sourcing matters.

Why Use a 24 Port PoE Switch for Surveillance Cameras?

A 24 port PoE switch is best used when a camera system has more cameras than the PoE ports built into the recorder, or when cameras are spread across a building and need to be grouped into one network location. It is commonly used for businesses, warehouses, office buildings, schools, retail stores, parking areas, and larger residential properties.

This switch gives you enough ports for a large camera layout while still leaving uplink ports available for the recorder or main network. It is a good option when you are building a new system, expanding an existing NVR, or moving from a smaller 8 port or 16 port PoE switch to a larger camera network.

Extended PoE for Longer Camera Runs

Ports 1 through 8 support extended PoE transmission up to 820ft (250 meters) for compatible low-power fixed lens PoE cameras. This can help when cameras need to be installed beyond the normal 328ft Ethernet distance limit without using a separate PoE extender.

Extended PoE works by lowering the port speed so the switch can send power and data farther over the cable. That tradeoff is usually fine for many fixed lens security cameras because a single camera stream normally does not need anywhere close to 100Mbps. For best results on long runs, use solid copper Cat6 cable and avoid CCA cable.

Features

• 1 Gigabit 1000Base-X SFP uplink port that shares bandwidth with the second uplink port
• Ports 1 through 8 support extended PoE up to 820ft (250 meters)
• Extended PoE mode is best for compatible fixed lens cameras requiring less than 10W of power
• Best long-run performance when used with solid copper Cat6 cable
• Can reduce the need for a separate PoE extender on supported long camera runs
• Compatible with IP cameras from CCTV Camera World or any 802.3af/at compliant PoE camera rated for 30W or less

Good Fit for Business Security Camera Systems

This 24 port PoE switch is a strong fit for business security camera systems where many cameras need to be powered from one network rack or equipment room. It gives you enough ports for larger camera layouts and enough PoE power for a typical mix of fixed lens PoE cameras.

For small businesses, the main benefit is organization. Cameras can be wired back to one switch, the switch can connect to the NVR or router through a Gigabit uplink, and the system remains local without requiring cloud-managed switch software.
