justalfe 0 Posted March 8, 2013 Hey guys just picked up the Q-see 8 channel NVR bundle from Sams club and also orders 4 ip cameras from Sams club, reading up I seen that the NVR has 4 built in POE ports and i will be needing another POE switch , my question is do i get a 8 port POE switch or will a 4 POE switch work connected directly to my router? Also can anyone recommend any good brands at a decent price? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigglebowski 0 Posted March 8, 2013 Your choice... Trendnet and Zyxel might be the less expensive brands to look into. Some of the 4 port models are a lot less expensive than ones with 8 ports. There are also some 8 port switches where only 4 of the ports are POE and are still less expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
