BobCCTV 0 Posted December 25, 2015 There are many kind of POE switches in the market. (1) Which kind is for IP cameras & NVR? (2) How many Watts of power is needed for a 8-port POE switch? (3) How many Watts of power is needed for a 16-port POE switch? (4) Is it better to have several smaller-port POE switches than one 24-port POE switch connected to one 24-port NVR?

SynologyHosting 0 Posted December 27, 2015 I would say all depends on your IP cameras locations As example its better to have a few separate budget 4 POE ports switches and have single cable to your main switch/router, rather than you have to arrange plenty of cables to your one 16-ports switch p.s. any POE switch will work with your IP cameras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
