PoE switch for Dahua IP cameras

Thu Dec 19, 2019 12:18 pm

Hi,
I looking for 4-5 port PoE switch to connect and power Dahua IP cameras.
Connected to rest network using cat.6 cables.

Please recomend which Mikrotik switch or router will be the best for this solution.

Thanks in advance!

How many cameras ?
8port
CRS112-8P-4S-IN * extra 48 V Power supply needed
https://mikrotik.com/product/crs112_8p_ ... ifications

Or

24port
CRS328-24P-4S+RM
https://mikrotik.com/product/crs328_24p_4s_rm

Edit; i just saw you need 5 ports, so you could go with the CRS112 :lol:

In that location only 3-4 camaras and 8 port will be just waste of ports and too expensive.

Dahua cameras use POE af/at technology and not passive POE...
So that simply comes to a cost...
If you dont want to buy a good POE switch then sorry but you can always use DC voltage and a simple 5 euro switch... :D

I see... Mikrotik do not offer this type of PoE Switch.
Can I use one of Ubiquiti 5 port PoE device?

ErPoE-5 https://www.ui.com/edgemax/edgerouter-poe/

ES-5XP https://www.ui.com/edgemax/edgeswitch-xp/

for Dahua IP cameras ?

Ofcorse it does... not a 5 port though (with af/at)... which i do not consider as a problem at all...

As for the rest, you can always ask in the Ubiquiti forum... :D

I prefer to get mikrotik, but I need for remote location 100 from main router just only 3-4 camaeras.
For this solution I don't need 8 or 16 port PoE switch but just only for 4-5 ports.
That is the reason why I just gave exaple of Ubiquiti which has 5 port PoE switch.

If there is any other Mikrotik solution not such a expensive as 8 or 16 port switch please share with me any.

Yes, I use the hEX PoE at one particular location. You'll also need the 48POW.

When you are looking for as-cheap-as-possible PoE+ switches with a small number of ports and no special features, it is probably better to look at manufacturers like Linksys and ZyXEL rather than MikroTik or Ubiquiti.
The latter are just transitioning from "passive PoE" to standards-based 802.11af/at PoE(+) and have the extra complexity of supporting both old and new standards at different voltages.

Powerbox Pro.
It would additionally require a 48V2A96W to be able to output 802.11af/at.

If you want to buy something else than Mikrotik why not get a Dahua 4 port POE switch then...
Also the OP i think can see all the POE products here https://mikrotik.com/products
