Network Switches - Managed, Surface, VLAN
Power your IP cameras and NVRs cleanly with the right network switches. PoE/PoE+ simplifies cabling, while surveillance-friendly features like VLAN, QoS, IGMP Snooping, and port mirroring keep streams stable and secure. Choose from compact desktop models to rackmount and hardened industrial switches, then match your total PoE budget to the number of IP cameras you plan to run.

Network Switches Frequently Asked Questions
What is a network switch and how does it work?
A network switch is a device that connects multiple devices on a computer network, allowing them to communicate with each other. It uses MAC addresses to forward data only to the intended device, improving network efficiency and performance.
How many ports do I need on my network switch?
The number of ports you need depends on how many devices you plan to connect, such as cameras, computers, and other networked equipment. It's advisable to have a few extra ports for future expansions to avoid needing to replace the switch later.
What is PoE and why is it important for surveillance?
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows network cables to carry electrical power along with data. This is important for surveillance systems as it simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate power sources for cameras, making setup easier and more efficient.
Can I use a managed switch for my home security system?
Yes, a managed switch can be used for home security systems. It provides advanced features such as VLANs, traffic management, and enhanced security protocols, which can help optimize the performance and security of your surveillance network.
What are the benefits of using a gigabit switch for my surveillance system?
A gigabit switch offers faster data transfer rates, reducing latency and ensuring smooth video streaming from multiple cameras. This is crucial for high-resolution surveillance footage, as it allows for real-time monitoring and quick access to recorded video without delays.
