TL-SG108PE (TP Link 8 Port POE)

[Optimus Prime]

Was thinking about starting out with this switch. I'll eventually install more cameras, but right now I only have 4, and one of them is a PTZ with it's own power brick.

Does anyone have a preferred recommendation over this particular switch? It's on Amazon for $65.00

I'd take a ZyXEL over one of those but they're more money.

I have been using the TL-SG108PE for about a year now with 0 problems. 5 PTZ's and 1 other camera connected. All POE, also connected PC with BI to the same switch.

Fenderman or Kawboy12R - will the ZyXEL power my PT5AM22XH200 without having to use it's power brick?

Bob2701 - what PTZs are you using that the TL-SG108PE is running without the power bricks?

Thanks for your replies.

My Google-Fu says no- 12v power only, no POE.

@Optimus Prime, I just realized I have the TL-SG1008PE which has 8 POE ports not 4. 124 watts available with priority starting at port 1.
I have 5 Huisun Mini PTZ's which draw about 18W each if I remember correctly. No runs are over 75'. I believe I bought it at Amazon for about $150.
