Switch for surveillance
When you have to choose the right switch, there are a few things you can take into consideration:
How many cameras should you carry now and in the future?
Make sure you buy the right switch the first time, so if you need 4 cameras now, but knowing that you will need to expand with one or more cameras in the future, you can advantageously choose a switch for 8 cameras already now. You can see our recommended switches per camera here:
Pssst see a diagram of how you should make your network (infrastructure) at the bottom of the page.
| Number of cameras | Recommended switch |
| 1-4 | DS-3E0106HP-E 4-port PoE+ Switch |
| 4-8 | DS-3E0310HP-E 8-port PoE+ Switch |
| 8-16 | DS-3E0318P-E 16-port PoE+ Switch |
| 16-24 | DS-3E1326P-E 24-port PoE Switch |
If you are to have a PTZ camera or other demanding devices, you must ensure that the individual port and the switch's total PoE budget are not exceeded. On hikvision's switches, they have created a dedicated Hi-PoE port, which is intended to drive PTZ cameras.
