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 switch if needed.
- But larger than 16 ports might push our space limits
Switch must have SFP for fiber output.
DC power input would simplify the design but could convert to A/C if required.
Unit will be at a remote site so it must be very reliable and last multiple years with no maintenance or replacement.
- Probably one of the biggest requirements is reliability for this application
Passive cooling would be preferred, but not a must.
POE would simplify wiring to cameras, but not a must. We can design/build/power the cameras separately or inject Ethernet with power after the switch (i.e. if POE switch is less reliable than non-POE switch or if DC powered switch negates POE) .
Can be managed or unmanged, but simpler is better IMO.
If the budget were very high (say up to ~$1500.00); what would you recommend?
