The HiLook NS-0105P-35(B) is built for exactly that scenario - connecting up to 4 PoE-powered devices through a desktop-format switch that sits neatly on a shelf, in a cupboard, or behind a counter. It suits small retail shops, single-floor offices, residential installations, or any site where a 4-camera system needs a clean, no-fuss power source without patch panels or wall-mount hardware. With a 35W total PoE budget shared across all active ports, it works well when cameras draw a standard 802.3af load. Installers completing small HiLook or Hikvision camera jobs will find this switch a straightforward addition to a tidy installation without pulling in a managed switch that far exceeds the site's actual needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin: 20px 0 8px 0; padding-bottom: 6px; border-bottom: 3px solid #e8735a;\"\u003eWhat This Switch Actually Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 16px; margin: 10px 0 18px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 260px; padding: 16px 18px; background: #fff; box-shadow: 0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.08); border-radius: 6px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0; font-weight: 700; font-size: 15px; color: #1a1a2e;\"\u003ePoE Power Delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 0; line-height: 1.65; color: #444; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe switch delivers Power over Ethernet to connected devices, eliminating the need for separate power adapters at each camera location.

The desktop housing makes it genuinely practical for installs where a rack is not present, and the 5-port count matches the most common small-site camera count cleanly. For 3 to 4 standard 802.3af cameras, the 35W budget is workable provided installers account for each camera's actual draw before committing all ports. Where this switch will not serve well is on sites with higher-draw devices such as PTZ cameras, PoE+ access control panels, or video intercoms that pull significantly more than the 35W total allows - those applications need a switch with a higher power budget. Installations requiring VLAN segmentation, port monitoring, or remote management will also need a managed switch instead.

This 8-port unmanaged PoE switch delivers power and data over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable to up to 8 cameras, with a total PoE budget of 60W shared across all active ports. It is designed for plug-and-play deployment - no software configuration, no managed switch complexity. It suits small commercial installs, retail fit-outs, or residential systems where a tidy, self-contained switch sits in a comms cabinet or on a desktop shelf. The single uplink port connects to a router or NVR, keeping the install straightforward. If your camera run count sits at 4 to 8 units and you need a clean, low-cost way to power them from one location, the NS-0109P-60 covers that requirement directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin: 20px 0 8px 0; padding-bottom: 6px; border-bottom: 3px solid #e8735a;\"\u003eWhat This Switch Actually Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 16px; margin: 10px 0 18px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 260px; padding: 16px 18px; background: #fff; box-shadow: 0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.08); border-radius: 6px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0; font-weight: 700; font-size: 15px; color: #1a1a2e;\"\u003ePlug-and-Play PoE Power\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 0; line-height: 1.65; color: #444; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eWith no configuration required, you connect cameras directly to the 8 PoE ports and power flows immediately.

The plug-and-play operation is genuine - there is nothing to set up on the switch side, which reduces commissioning time and removes a common source of field errors. The 60W PoE budget is adequate for most sub-8-camera deployments using standard dome or turret cameras drawing under 8W each. Where the NS-0109P-60 reaches its limits is on higher-draw devices. Cameras with active IR floodlights, PTZ units drawing 25W or more, or heated housing cameras may exhaust the 60W pool before all ports are populated. It also has no management features - there is no port isolation, no VLAN capability, and no traffic monitoring. For installs requiring those functions, a managed switch is more appropriate.

Connect your cameras to the PoE ports, connect your NVR or router to the uplink port, and power the switch on. PoE negotiation and data switching happen automatically. There is no web interface, no login, and no software to install.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eWill this switch work with non-HiLook cameras?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    Yes, provided the camera supports IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at PoE. The NS-0109P-60 is compatible with any standards-compliant PoE IP camera regardless of brand. Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and other IEEE-compliant devices will negotiate power and data correctly on any of the 8 PoE ports.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eWhat happens if my cameras exceed the 60W PoE budget?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    Cameras will either fail to power on or drop offline when the 60W limit is reached. The switch does not damage connected devices - it simply stops delivering PoE to ports once the budget is exhausted, prioritising ports in order. Before commissioning, total the PoE wattage from each camera's datasheet to confirm your combined draw stays below 60W.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eWill this switch work with a PTZ camera?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    It depends on the PTZ camera's PoE draw. Many compact PTZ cameras draw 15-25W each. Connecting a 25W PTZ to the NS-0109P-60 consumes 25 of the 60W budget, leaving only 35W for the remaining 7 ports - enough for 4 to 5 standard cameras. If your system is PTZ-heavy or includes multiple high-draw devices, a switch with a 100W or higher PoE budget is a more suitable choice. The NS-0109P-60, supplied by Security Australia, is best matched to systems using standard dome and turret cameras.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eWhat cable should I use, and how far can I run it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    Cat5e or Cat6 is recommended. The maximum cable distance per port is 100m - this is the IEEE standard limit for PoE over twisted-pair cable. Beyond 100m, signal quality and power delivery degrade. If a camera location exceeds 100m from the switch, a PoE extender or a second switch at an intermediate point is required.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli style=\"margin: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eCan I connect this switch to an NVR that already has built-in PoE ports?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    Yes, though it may not be necessary. If your NVR already has 8 built-in PoE ports, adding this switch creates a second network segment that requires the uplink port to connect back to the NVR's LAN port or a router.

Installers running cameras to distant corners of a car park, along fence lines at industrial sites, or across large warehouse floors often hit the 100-metre Ethernet wall. This 16-port unmanaged PoE switch solves that with a dedicated 250m Extend Mode, pushing data and power to cameras that would otherwise need a mid-span injector or secondary switch. With 16 PoE ports delivering up to 130W across the switch and Gigabit uplink connectivity back to the NVR or core network, it suits security integrators and self-installing business owners who need a straightforward, no-configuration solution for mid-to-large camera deployments where long cable runs are unavoidable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin: 20px 0 8px 0; padding-bottom: 6px; border-bottom: 3px solid #e8735a;\"\u003eWhat This Switch Actually Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 16px; margin: 10px 0 18px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 260px; padding: 16px 18px; background: #fff; box-shadow: 0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.08); border-radius: 6px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0; font-weight: 700; font-size: 15px; color: #1a1a2e;\"\u003e250m Extend Mode\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 0; line-height: 1.65; color: #444; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eActivating Extend Mode drops port speed to 10 Mbps and reduces PoE output to extend the usable cable run to 250 metres on standard Cat5e or Cat6.

The Gigabit uplink and built-in PoE watchdog add practical value on real installations.
