Gigabit Switch or Ethernet Switch to Reduce # of Cables to NVR?

Recommended Posts

I've asked this question before but now I'm thoroughly confused! To get you caught up I've been installing a LOREX 16 ch system at my apartment complex and I need to run 8 cables underground but the pipe they need to be pulled through is not big enough for all 8 cables.  So I went on Amazon and bought a 4 port Gigabit switch  (link below) to reduce the number of cables to run through the pipe to 5 cables which would be 4 camera cables plus the one uplink data cable from the switch.  But now I'm told I need a 4 port ethernet switch instead of the gigabit switch. What's the difference between the switches and do I need additional equipment?
