Hi,
I would like to add PoE for about 6 to 8 ip cameras to my existing network. I already have a 24 port managed switch so I think that a PoE midspan would be the cleanest solution.
There don't appear to be a whole lot of choices for a mid span but the Powerdsine/Microsemi PD-6012g seems ideal and pricy although there is always eBay.
There are more choices with a PoE switch but it does appear to be that much cheaper to go with a 24 port managed PoE switch instead. Or I could add a separate 12 port unmanaged PoE switch to my existing setup.
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
