8 Port Gigabit PoE Switch

When you’re putting together a new security camera system setup, one thing that makes life easier is a solid PoE switch. This 8-Port Gigabit PoE Switch powers and connects up to eight cameras with just a single Ethernet cable for each one. No separate power bricks or outlets near the cameras are needed. Plug your PoE cameras into the switch, hook it up to your NVR and router, and you’re ready to go. It’s a straightforward way to build a IP PoE security camera system without messing around with complicated setup screens as is usually the case for managed switches.

Reliable Power for IP Cameras

Each of the eight PoE ports can supply up to 30 watts of power, which is plenty for most outdoor bullet or dome cameras, and even a few smaller PTZ models. The switch has a total power budget of 120 watts, so it can handle several cameras running at once without any drops. For small business systems or home camera systems that need reliability more than fancy management features, this one hits the mark.

There’s also an Extended PoE mode built in. That comes in handy when you’ve got cameras sitting far from the network room—say, out by a gate or driveway. It works great with low-wattage cameras that use under 10 watts of power, letting you push runs up to 250 meters (820 ft) without using a PoE extender. It’s a simple way to get more reach out of your existing cable without adding extra hardware.

Dual Uplink Ports for Smooth Networking

Two dedicated Gigabit uplink ports make it easy to tie the switch into your network. One can go straight to your NVR for recording, and the other can link to your router or another switch if you’re adding more cameras later. The Gigabit bandwidth keeps video streams moving smoothly, even with multiple 4K cameras on the same network.

Built Tough and Easy to Use

There’s no software to install and nothing to configure. Plug it in, connect your cables, and you’re done. The metal housing has a cooling fan, so it may make some noise but it stays cool. You can place it on a desk, mount it to a wall, or tuck it inside a cabinet- it’s designed for flexibility. Whether you’re wiring a warehouse, school, or small office, this switch is made to run steady day in and day out.
