Amcrest 8-Port POE+ Power Over Ethernet POE Switch with Metal Housing, 8-Ports POE+ 802.3af/at 96w (AGPS8E8P-AT-96)

- Looks sharp, clean, feels solid and has easy to read labels/text. - I plugged it in, moved my 4 existing cameras and plugged in the new IP8M-2493EW. All 4 of my other cameras booted right up. - With my old switch, I noticed a little lag loading individual cameras and that seems to have slightly improved. - I do wish it had optional ears to rack mount but I understand the size is smaller than 1U so it probably would never be an option on a switch smaller than 16 ports. - No issues so far with my 4 existing cameras or interaction with Blue Iris.

I bought to use with 2 POE cameras and this worked out of the box, just plugged the cables and the cameras was turned on. I will buy more cameras and see how it goes. I like the indicator led that shows what port is using POE and what port is using just LAN. If you are looking for a not so expensive POE switch, this is a great choice.

Using with Amcrest UltraHD 4K (8MP) Outdoor Security POE IP Camera and works great so far. The camera took a bit to set up but the switch is plug and play. Seems like quality built hardware.

This switch couldnt be easier to use! I bought it to work with an Amcrest POE camera and Blue Iris. I plugged the camera in and was off and running! The camera connected to my home network and I was able to start setting it up right away. The switch hardware is very sturdy and made of a strong metal material. It looks like great craftsmanship. I would expect this to last a long time, and I dont think I need to worry about a thing. Its great having 8 POE switch ports available, and since Ill be using this with my Amcrest cameras (or any POE cameras), I have lots of capacity and room for expansion. It mounted great inside my smart home panel. Its slim enough that it doesnt take up alot of space.
