Hey Guys,

 

Will this switch be able to handle running 4 2mp cameras (I am not good with networking capabilities and a customer has asked for the cheapest possible system)

Well you didnt specify which cameras you are using so cant say for sure, but the TP-Link switch has 53W power budget, which would not support 4 cams if they required full 802.3af (15.4Wx4=61.6W)

 

Personally I would recommend ZyXEL ES1100-8P for a good cheap switch

Thanks mate: We are using these IPC-HDB4200C.

 

So it is a power issue and not a bandwidth issue?

OK looks like those cams are low power so you should be fine with either switch. I still recommend the zyxel out of personal experience, I've found them to be reliable yet reasonably priced, also the zyxel has an internal power supply as opposed to external power brick.

 

100mbps bandwidth is more than enough for [4] 2MP cams.
