I don’t write reviews often, but I do heavily rely on them, so I guess it’s just fair that I start sharing and praising when praise is due. I bought three or four of these BV switches, already lost count that’s how much I like them. I bought the 5 ports and one 10 port. The 8 port has a fiber optic port which I cannot use for my setup, but it’s probably really useful for future upgrades. These switches have a very sturdy feel to them, the DIN mount on the 10 port is awesome for once I wall mount parts of my system. I use them for an NVR system and like others said here, from day one, plug and play no issues whatsoever. The 802.3at standard adds piece of mind with an extra high power port for that price, I simply cannot find a better deal out there. I am just about to order two more of these. Great job BV-Tech, thank you.

Setup to power a mix of PoE and PoE+ Ubiquiti Access Points. Worked out of the box without any issues. Haven't looked back.

When this BV-Tech 4 Port PoE+ Switch arrived it was smaller than I had imagined, but it works perfectly with the 2 POE IP cameras I plugged into it about 10 days ago. I have no idea how long it will last, but it's working fine right now, so hopefully it will keep working for a very long time. Even though I will only need 4 ports or less for the rest of this year, I was originally thinking about buying an 8-port unit in case I need more ports in the future. But this one comes with 2 regular ethernet ports in addition to the 4 POE ports, so I can daisy-chain another POE switch to this one if I need more capacity in the future. Having two separate units also lets me place them at opposite ends of the house -- for shorter cable runs to my cameras -- so I think that this 4-port unit was the correct choice for my particular needs at this time.

I've used multiple POE switches that ranged from $80+. I was skeptical about this switch for the price. I purchased this for multiple security camera installs at my in-laws home. This switch has been rock solid. Everything is connected via personally made CAT6 cables and it has been running for over a month without a single issue. I will be purchasing this again for any additional installs requiring POE switches.

I looked at many PoE injectors, and decided for $34 this is the best option. I initially purchased just one PoE camera, but this switch allows me to add three more by simply running the ethernet cable. What more could you ask for? This switch has a PoE+ port on the first plug, and all four plugs will run at PoE standard power levels. If you need PoE+ you probably cannot use all four, it will limit you to one or two more standard PoE plugs, because it has a maximum power output. There is a switch for Default, and Extended. If you need to run longer than 300 feet you can switch to extended, it will reduce the bandwidth of the PoE ports to 10Mbps, and increase the power, so that it can run longer cables safely. I don't recommend this, just try to use the 300 feet limit, and the default setting and you will be fine. If you have to go longer, I suggest you but another of these, or an individual injector. Then, use 300 feet cable segments with switch/hubs to reach you destination at full speed. My house is all 1000Mbps ethernet. I connect the PoE switch to one of the ports and it runs at 100Mbps with the switch. There are two uplink ports on the switch, not sure why you need it, but you could connect two networks to this, if you so desired. If you are buying a single camera, I suggest skipping the single PoE injectors and getting this. You then have the option of adding three more cameras without needing another injector. The 100Mbps is more than enough bandwidth for the cameras, they usually need about 2Mbps each. Most single injectors are $19. This is $34 and gives you 4 standard PoE injectors with one optionally running PoE+. This is a great deal, and a good choice. Be smart and plan ahead, that is what I did. I just ordered additional cameras today, and I am very glad I purchased this, because I don't need to get more injectors, just need the camera and ethernet cables to hook it up.

I got this along with some $37.99 SV3C POE cameras and they work perfectly with it. This only cost $36.99 but there are other versions including with more ports and with GigE speed. This is only 100 MHz "Fast" ethernet but that's plenty for the cameras. It just works. With a spare port I went ahead and ordered another camera since they are so inexpensive. UPDATE: Got the fourth camera and worked fine. Also ordered a Ubiquiti UVC G3-AF and it also works with this switch. Yay!

Best PoE switch on the market. Main difference is most others at similar price ranges don’t offer a full duplex connection nor comply to PoE+/802at standards. Also the uplink port is vital in commercial installs (if you know what you’re doing).

So far so excellent. You get an awful lot in this one. Note this is a PoE+ switch, not merely PoE. PoE+ is the 802.3at spec, for 25.5W per port, rather than the 802.3af spec, which is 15.4W per port. The special 60W port this unit offers is just icing. The 2 uplink ports are useful for a router and NVR setup. I prefer the external power brick arrangement this has for longevity, since replacing it is possible down the line, while internal power supplies are not replaceable. All in all, a great unit at a great price. Flawless plug and play operation for my setup out of the box.

I have had both HIK and Dahua cams/NVRs that were seemingly full of buggy problems. I tended to blame them on Rain, high humidity, corrosion, my bad cable ends, clunky interfaces ...once, rats did eat my Cat5. Some know-it-all online called my gear 'Chinese Junk'. (...!?) I even upgraded to Cat6a. Issue: none of the above. It was (maybe a little of the above) DISTANCE. My run is 500+ feet/150+ meters and it appears I was suffering power loss to the camera. (I am neither an installer or anything like a tech) There were these incredibly long lags before the camera would make a handshake, dropouts up the wazoo, both long periods of working and not. It was like an old girlfriend during a lonely period who teases you with selfies. I plugged this device in between the NVR and camera; the handshake took about 4 seconds to a clear picture. I can only guess the 60watts was able to energize the copper cable where the NVRs could not. Now, I have to learn all the other stuff.... Jim

Of course I only needed this item to activate IP cameras, but it works perfectly for the task. I noticed the web address that comes up with the SADP software isn't anywhere close to the one in the manual for activation and I wondered if this unit actually gives another address, but I really can't answer that. All I do know is accessing the web using the one given in the book that came with the IP camera didn't work at all, even after resetting the IP camera itself. For those of you who aren't computer savy when it comes to NVR's and web addressing - GET HELP! I am computer savy and it's been one big pain in the rear to deal with to get a new IP camera to work with my system, but This box saves the day! I am sure glad I purchased this just for this task. The SADP software sees the camera right away, and you can re-address it for your system and it WORKS! Extremely happy to have purchased!
