POE UNMANAGED SWITCH 8 PORT

[Teeling611]

I’m having a bit of trouble in searching for certain things there so I apologize as I know this has been asked many times. Or direct me to where this info is locate.

What 8 port, plug and play, unmanaged, gigibit switch should I buy for under $100.

Can I purchase BI before my computer arrives? On sale now!

thanks

Biggest thing is don't go too budget friendly on the POE switch. Go with one that is POE+ and enough power.

The cheap ones will have a power budget that is well undersized for the number of ports. It may be an 8 port with 30watt max but have a total power budget of 100 watts. So you throw a 30watt PTZ on it, and now you have 70 watts for the remaining 7 ports. That may or may not be enough based on what other cameras you get.

Lots of threads here for POE switch recommendations.

You can purchase BI whenever you like, but the sale price has been that for as long as I have been here LOL. Doesn't mean it won't change tomorrow, but it has been that price for a long time.
