Hello,
A wonderful and blessed new years to all of you. I need to order a 24 or 28 port switch to use for my home IP camera setup.
My installer friend is helping me install them, but I have to provide the hardware. I currently have about 15 cameras but will scale up to close to 24, because we have a small warehouse for lawn equipment repairs etc as well.
The cameras run on PoE but if possible I would like a couple of PoE+ ports. My installer friend told me to buy one that has 1-2 SFP ports in case we need them in the future for a longer run or fiber .
I do not know much about level 2 vs level 3 etc. I primarily need it to route and operate my cameras, but some future proofing would be good. This is for home/home office use.
There are SO many brands, I have read similar posts on here, but not sure which brand/model to choose.
I prefer to buy one new than take a chance with a used one on EBay.
I heard that Cisco is very good, but expensive, I notice that this model or similar is popular on here...Cisco SG300.
Which brand/model would you recommend? I do not mind spending about $250, of course less is better. I am in the U.S.
Thank you
