PoE switches for camera projects

1,413 products listed

A PoE switch feeds IP cameras over the same cable as the network, so the camera does not need a separate power supply at the mounting point. FUSE lists PoE and PoE+ switches for camera projects, including 24-port rack models, with live stock and business quotes, shipped from Malta across the EU and the UK.

How to choose camera projects

Size the power budget before you pick the switch

Every PoE switch has a per-port maximum and a total power budget shared across all ports. Use the camera's datasheet class, not just the port count. Basic cameras usually sit inside 802.3af (15.4 W). PTZ cameras generally need 802.3at (PoE+, 30 W). Heated outdoor cameras often need 802.3bt (60–90 W). Add up the real draw, then leave headroom for the next camera somebody adds after handover. A 24-port switch that looks large enough on ports can still run out of watts.

24-port guidance

Twenty-four ports is the usual access-layer size for a floor, a small site, or a camera cabinet. Twenty-four low-power devices need a much smaller budget than twenty-four PTZ or heated cameras. The live 24-port PoE list is the place to compare current models, including managed switches with SFP or SFP+ uplinks to the core or the NVR. Transceivers are usually sold separately and must match the fibre type and distance.

Cameras, VLANs and remotes

A managed PoE switch is not mandatory for every CCTV job, but it helps. It lets you put cameras on their own VLAN, away from office traffic, and power-cycle a frozen camera from the switch instead of sending someone to site. Non-PoE devices can still use the same switch: PoE ports negotiate power first, so a recorder or workstation on the same chassis simply takes data.

Stock and delivery

Availability is shown on each switch. Items shown in stock ship the same working day when ordered before 14:00 Malta time. Anything not in stock is ordered in on request, and FUSE confirms the lead time on the quote. Shipping is charged on every order; the cost and an estimated delivery time are shown at checkout.

Camera projects — frequently asked questions

Which PoE switch do I need for a camera project?
Start from the camera count and the power class, not from the port count alone. Basic cameras usually fit 802.3af, PTZ cameras generally need PoE+, and heated outdoor cameras often need 802.3bt. Choose a switch whose total budget covers that load with headroom, then pick the port count and uplinks. FUSE lists live stock on each model.
What PoE budget does a 24-port camera switch need?
Add up the cameras' power classes. A cabinet of basic 802.3af cameras needs far less than a cabinet of PTZ or heated outdoor cameras on the same 24 ports. Check the total watt budget on the datasheet, and use the 24-port PoE list to compare models that are actually in the catalogue.
Do I need a managed PoE switch for CCTV?
Not always, but it helps. A managed switch lets you put cameras on their own VLAN away from office traffic and remotely power-cycle a frozen camera instead of sending someone to site.
Can I plug a recorder or a non-PoE device into the same switch?
Yes. PoE switches negotiate power with each device before applying it, so a recorder, workstation or other non-PoE device on the same switch simply takes data.
Does FUSE ship PoE switches for camera projects across the EU?
Yes. FUSE shows live stock, quotes from Malta, and ships across the EU and the UK. Shipping is charged on every order, and the cost and an estimated delivery time are shown at checkout.
Where can I see 24-port models and the cameras themselves?
Use the 24-port PoE switches page for rack models, and the IP cameras page for the camera range. The main PoE switches hub lists 8-port, 16-port, 24-port, 48-port and managed families.
