Ruijie Reyee PoE Switches: The Optimal Solution for Operating Security Cameras 

Reducing the number of cables required for installation by almost half. 

Lowering installation costs, especially in large projects that include a large number of cameras. 

Easier relocation or redistribution of cameras without needing a nearby power source. 

Better protection for devices from power fluctuations, as the switch controls the power distributed to each port. 

High operational reliability: These switches feature an industrial-grade design that ensures stability even under high electrical loads, reducing sudden reboot issues. 

Easy cloud management: Some models allow remote monitoring and control via the Ruijie Cloud app, helping technicians track the network status without being physically present on site. 

Special support for surveillance cameras: Some models include automatic IP camera recognition, a feature that simplifies network setup and adds extra value in CCTV systems. 

Loop Prevention: Ensures network continuity and prevents faults caused by wiring errors. 

Surge protection: Some models offer protection up to 6 kilovolts, which is important in areas where networks are exposed to electrical fluctuations. 

The number of cameras to be operated, to determine the appropriate number of ports (5, 10, 18, or 24 ports). 

Total PoE power budget, which must be sufficient to cover the combined consumption of all cameras, especially if they include infrared lighting or PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) technology. 

Port speed: Some high-resolution (4K) cameras require Gigabit ports to ensure smooth video transmission without lag. 

The need for cloud management or not: Small projects may only need an Unmanaged switch, while large projects require advanced management and control features. 

Warranty and after-sales service, as the stability of the surveillance system depends directly on the quality of the devices used. 

Always ensure that the total power consumption of all cameras does not exceed the switch’s total PoE budget to avoid power supply issues. 

Use high-quality network cables (preferably CAT6), especially for long distances, to reduce power and data loss. 

If cameras are located more than 100 meters away from the switch, use PoE Extenders to maintain connection stability. 

Ensure good ventilation at the switch installation location, especially for models with a large number of ports that generate higher heat during continuous operation. 

If the project is likely to expand in the future, it is preferable to choose a switch with slightly more ports than the current need to avoid having to replace it later.
