Great.. I've already bought a normal switch.. grrrr never mind, best don't right... thanks for the advice.

So I've just upgraded my old Ermet dvr to a Hikvision one, it has 16 bnc connections, all being used, and is capable of 8 IP cams.. I already have 5 Hikvision ip cams in storage, which I undersrand will need a single network cable to each one. (I run 2 bnc cams and power over a single network cable normally) My question is.. what's the best way to power these cameras, do i need to run a separate power cable to each cam?.. not very convenient as they are spread out over 100m or so. And what's best power supply to use? Thanks in advance.
