PoE Switches: 4 to 24-Port for CCTV Cameras

9 products · prices include VAT

You only need a switch when your cameras are further from the recorder than one cable will reach, or you have more cameras than your recorder has ports for.

This range covers nine PoE (Power over Ethernet) switches from 4-port to 24-port, sized for anything from a single extra camera to a full multi-camera install. PoE means each switch sends power and data down one cable, so PoE cameras need no separate power supply.

Port count is the main decision. The 4-port Hikvision DS-3E0505P-E suits a small add-on run. Middle options include the 9-port Hikvision DS-3E0109P-E/M and 8-port Hikvision DS-3E0510P-E. For larger sites, 16-port models (Dahua PFS4218-16ET-240, Hikvision DS-3E0318P-E/M(B), Hikvision DS-3E0518P-E) and 24-port models (Hikvision DS-3E0326P-E/M(B), Hikvision DS-3E0526P-E) cover bigger camera counts.

Speed matters too: some models are 10/100Mbps, others Gigabit. Gigabit switches suit higher-resolution camera streams better where many channels run at once. Most switches here are unmanaged, meaning plug-and-play with no configuration; the Dahua PFS4218-16ET-240 is managed, giving more control over the network.

How to choose

Port count: match to the number of PoE cameras you need to connect, plus room to grow.
Speed: 10/100Mbps or Gigabit, depending on camera resolution and channel count.
Managed vs unmanaged: unmanaged is simpler; managed suits networks needing extra configuration.
Range: the Hikvision DS-3E0109P-E/M is noted for long-range PoE up to 300m.

PoE Switches — frequently asked questions

What does PoE mean on a switch?

PoE stands for Power over Ethernet. It lets one cable carry both data and power to a camera, so no separate power supply is needed.

How many ports do I need?

Match the port count to your camera total, plus one port for the recorder connection; this range runs from 4-port to 24-port switches.

What's the difference between managed and unmanaged switches?

Unmanaged switches work straight out of the box with no setup. The managed model in this range, the Dahua PFS4218-16ET-240, allows extra network configuration.

Does port speed matter for cameras?

Yes. Gigabit switches handle higher-resolution camera streams more comfortably than 10/100Mbps switches when several cameras run at once.
