could I have 2 X 8 port (4poe) rather than. .

One 8 port with all 8poe?

 

Reason I ask;

 

I'll have min 8 cameras,

An 8 port alone won't be enough when I need a PC connected

8 port Poe cost in Europe, €250 min for a good one.

A lot more choice when going 8port (4 poe), cost €60-€80

As I'm just starting out, maybe go small, and a 8 port 4poe will do 4 cams.

 

I'm looking at something like netgear

In my IDF spots I have had success with d-link DGS-1210-10P. 10 Ports all POE and vlan support.

Depends on your setup, but since most cheap poe-switches are only 100Mbps switch, i'd go with 2x 4+4 (8 port of which 4 poe) and one cheap 1Gbps switch that connects PC to both camera switches.

 

http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-SF1008P (4+4poe, costs around 40-50$, we use this model on small ip camera networks)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833181229 (5port 1Gbps switch, 30$, just an example, we've used 8port model of this one)

 

So in total its around 110-130$ for

- 8x 100Mbps poe slots

- 8x 100Mbps non-poe slots

- 5x 1Gbps slots.

 

If the traffic from cameras is very high, make sure the Gbps switch offers 1Gbps/port, not some total..

Thanks, seems to be where I was going.

 

Some sites are short coming with information, ie what power out put per Poe or total even, whether it's 1gb per per or total. .

 

Thanks anyway, I'll keep this in mind

I would look at the Cisco SG300-10P a 10 port switch (8 POE - 2 non POE Ports) all gigabit as well

 

Newegg has it for about $283
