PoE switches power and network your cameras over a single Cat5e/Cat6 cable, cutting out separate power runs to each device. This range covers PoE switches suited to CCTV installs from small offices to multi-camera commercial sites.
How to choose
- Port count — match to the number of cameras plus any spare ports for future expansion.
- PoE budget — total wattage the switch can supply across all ports; higher-draw cameras (PTZ, IR-heavy) need more headroom.
- Uplink type — check whether the switch offers a Gigabit or SFP uplink for connecting back to your NVR or network core.
- Managed vs unmanaged — managed switches allow VLANs and port monitoring, useful on larger sites; unmanaged units suit simple, single-site deployments.
- Form factor — desktop units for small offices, rackmount for comms cabinets in warehouses or plant rooms.
For retail premises or offices with a handful of cameras, a compact desktop switch with enough ports and PoE budget is usually sufficient. Warehouses and residential blocks with more cameras, or where cabling runs are longer, benefit from a rackmount switch with higher total PoE output and a dedicated uplink port to keep the NVR connection reliable.
PoE Switches — frequently asked questions
How many cameras can one PoE switch power?
This depends on the switch's port count and total PoE power budget — check both figures against your camera count and power draw before choosing.
Do I need a managed PoE switch for a CCTV install?
Not always — unmanaged switches suit small, single-site setups, while managed switches are useful on larger installs needing VLANs or port-level monitoring.
What's the difference between desktop and rackmount PoE switches in this range?
Desktop units suit smaller offices or retail sites with fewer cameras, while rackmount switches fit comms cabinets and typically offer more ports and higher PoE output for larger sites.
