I have 2 of these Linksys 8-port Smart POE+ LGS308P and have been moving away from the Netgear equivalent. The web ui and poe+ make this a good one for me at least.
HI Del Boy. I dont want to limit myself to the features of Hikvisions software (although I havent tried it) If I go pc based and dont like the software I can change
Thanks for the suggestion though
I bought a ZyXEL ES1100-8P, essentially a 4 Port POE switch. Network Camera Critic recommended it. I have heard bad things about linksys, and the plastic box trendnets.
