Are there any mfgs that make a switch like the heading? Unless I misunderstand, the switch uplink speed seems to be the bottleneck for surveillance systems. Am I wrong?
10Gb Uplink/1 Gb POE+ ports

Calculate the speed for each of your cameras. Look at the max bit rate configured. Not even close.
I use 8 port switches 100mbps links to the camera and a 1Gb up link. Absolute no problem.
Most cameras run at way less than 16384 Kbps or 0.016384 Gbps

Yes. Check out the UniFi line of switches. We use one of these in addition to some 8 port switches. Switch Pro 24
But, as @SouthernYankee wrote, cameras don’t need these speeds.

I was thinking of this as if all the cameras would be streaming at the same time, which is probably wrong. Thank you for your responses.

With 20 cameras constantly streaming, a mix of 2MP and 4MP at 2048b/ps for 2MP and 8192b/ps for 4MP and all at 15fps, I'm seeing about 150Mb/ps on the gig link to the camera switches. No way you need a 10Gb switch for video surveillance cameras.

Thanks for your time to respond and for not making fun of my ignorance guys. Regarding the Ubiquity products, I don't like having to use a third party cloud service for their products. Too bad their isn't an OpenWRT for switches. There isn't, is there?

Any Netgear Prosafe switch will serve you well.

i love hp products..
they mostly have a real lifetime warranty..
i found a few old switches from 1995 in my basement... they were abandoned because the fans were all faulty. i didnt know that they have lifetime warranty. i already tried that with a cisco switch but they told me its EOL so lifetime warranty is bullshit. after reading on the internet it seems that lifetime warranty on hp switches means forever.
so i called them and what to say. they sent me 3x 2530-24 via dhl express last week..
time flies.. they were bought for 3500usd/each in 95 , now a brandnew 2530 is around .. maybe 400usd

Plenty of switches with what you want, but you really don't need 10G to your NVR unless you have an ungodly amount of cams
My core switch is an SX350X-24F with 24 x 10G SFP+ ports, and I haven't bothered to throw my NVR on there

I like cool things
the thinner cables cost here 3x price of normal cable
even with tons of cables i dont use them just for saving the money because no one will ever see it.

They are not expensive at all from Monoprice, they are FANTASTIC!
I run PoE+ over several of them at the end of 100+ft runs, no problems

My home network is 10GbE, so I wanted a couple switches that had 10GbE uplinks. I know there's a lot of hate for Netgear around here, but I went with their ProSAFE S3300-52X-PoE+. It's a 48-Port Gigabit Stackable Smart Switch with PoE+ and 4 10G uplinks. I bought them used on ebay for under $400 and they've been flawless. (I did replace the fans with Noctua since my network closet is in my office). I use one specifically for my Security VLAN. The Blue Iris computer is connected to one of the 10GbE uplinks and another uplink is connected to my 10GbE backbone switch.

I have always had excellent luck with their ProSafe line. No hate here.

I'll hate!
But STP implementation on their smart/managed switches is absolute trash! If you end up with a mildly complicated network its possible the Netgate switch will just end up confused and start having STP issues. Unplug a random access port, and suddenly it decides STP root has updated, wtf Netgear
