A PoE switch powers IP cameras directly, removing the need for separate power adapters. Match the switch port count to the number of cameras, and add headroom for future expansion.
For an 8 camera installation choose an 8 port PoE switch; for 16 cameras a 16 port PoE switch; and for larger sites a 24 port PoE switch.
Check that the total PoE budget covers all cameras, and look for SFP uplinks if you need to link the switch back over fibre. See our CCTV switch range.
