Hey all, I know it's been a few weeks since this thread was active, but I'm back in the hunt again. It seems most of the switches out there have 1G limits on the SFP modules...unless you get to something with lots of ports. Our issue is space and we won't have room for a 24-port switch (well at...

Thanks again. I belive that the main trunk line that we're connecting to is 10G. That's set and we can't change it, so we'll be matching the link out of the MUX to that. one of my guys already ran a link budget analysis for that long run and we've got plenty of headroom. The internals...they...

Except that the industrial ones can take DC power. One more question. The SFP modules. How do you find their max speed? If you're using a fiber SFP module, will it run only at 1Gig, or will it run at full fiber speed? I was reviewing the models you recommended as well as comparing to the...

@Trip , thanks. I'll look into those. Price isn't the driver in this effort. @coxhaus, thank you for that input. There won't be any other data on this and it won't attach to the internet...ever...ever. It's a closed network. IP cameras will go to the switch then output to fiber. Fiber...

@Trip , Funny you mentions the Cisco industrial series. After @coxhaus 's reply above I looked up the cisco pro routers and came across the industrial 3000 series. I also looked into the 1000 and 2000 series industrial models. My concern with all these is the complexity of setup. This effort...

no router needed. not connecting to the internet. closed network...kind of. We'll assign static IP addresses to the cameras.

I should have put that in the 'requirement' that we can't do wireless. Must be wired. I'll update my original post to include.

Hey all, Work related question. Looking for a switch with no less than 4 qty, gigabit connections for IP cameras. Four IP cameras at 1080P using H.264 or H.265 compression. No wireless. Must be wired connections. We won't need more than 4 ports for the cameras - We have space for larger...

I'll keep coming by daily. Hope you're able to get back into the reviews.

yes, it can. If the apps aren't doing any smoothing/averaging and are only taking instantaneous signal strength, then you should expect variations.

Hey all, So I updated our wi-fi to a TP-Link EAP 245 access point. Behind that is a TP-Link 8 port gig switch, connected to a d-link gig switch, then to the router, then to the ATT modem. Everything was great... But now my son is having some issues. He occasionally plays Battlelands Royale...

Gosh...ignore me. I saw 'POE' in my head and was thinking power over Ethernet. I should learn to read things twice on days i've given blood. I guess being a quart low makes me miss things. Thanks for being kind to my obvious flub.

I've read some reviews of routers with PoE and some customers said that there wasn't enough power to run a camera or other such devices. Would it be possible that someone here could build a bread board with a potentiometer that would be rotated until the max current draw was reached. Maybe...

Thanks for the replies. I'll look into those projects and see if any of it interests my son. @bodean , thanks for letting me take a little tangent to your thread. concerning your answer, I think it all comes down to risk. How much risk do you want to put on your network? If an IoT is...

Tim, thank you for taking the time to reply. It was only a suggestion. I understand the need for high ROI and time and such and there's absolutely no hard feelings. All the best,
