Looks like Amazon is finally price matching the Newegg deal posted yesterday.

https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/822716

I bought the one from Newegg yesterday.

I use several of these for a small business that I managed that has a couple of different branch areas. I run a couple access points and some cameras. this is the low end POE switch So if you plan on running several high power devices, recommend you get the higher power (123W for $79 vs this 62W) switch. beyond that, these are absolutely awesome switches. fully manageable with VLAN separation, you can independently power cycle devices using the web GUI. at less than $40 for a fully manageable POE switch, you can't go wrong!

I just hope we start to see these kind of price drops on the larger port capacity switches, I really need a 24 port with similar capability.

Are you referring to a publicly traded (and Chinese controlled) company with multi-billion dollar revenues as "the little guys"?

To manage the switch you go to its IP address with a web browser and login with your password you created on setup and then you can configure the switch. If you create multiple VLANs but you don't create an explicit firewall rule stopping those additional VLANs from getting to the VLAN that your switch sits on (your management VLAN) the web access could be used. You really wouldn't want that if you had a true guest VLAN where people you don't know are on the network. Honestly, if you're going to set up VLANs for security like a guest VLAN and you don't create an explicit firewall rule banning all traffic from that VLAN to any other VLAN on your local network, you reap what you sow. Enterprise grade switches offer a dedicated management VLAN. This is a switch that's capable of doing VLAN separation for $40. If you're buying this for home or for a small business where you have a firewall and can create the aforementioned rules, it's not an issue. But it is worth bringing up, like he did.

The statement is true for many consumer grade network devices.

Just a heads up for anyone planing on using the smart functionality (e.g. VLANs), this switch has the stupid issue of the management interface being exposed everywhere.
can you elaborate on this?

Trying to figure out use case here. I have a Swann NVR that comes with 8 POE ports built in. If I buy this and connect it to my NVR, does that mean I can hook up 14 cameras to my NVR or is it NVR dependent of how many cameras it can handle? Also would one use this as a means of cable management i.e. only running one wire from NVR to the switch into a remote room and then branch out the POE cameras from the switch?

Just barely getting into POE cameras because got really tired of Wifi IP Cameras dropping network coverage when its really important to record something.

As someone mentioned in the other thread, Amazon is charging sales tax on the full price (for me as well, at least) but it's still a good deal so I'm grabbing one.
FWIW, Newegg appeared to be doing the same for me. Since their reputation isn't great of late, I'm glad I waited for Amazon's price match. Plus using my Amazon card gives 5% back, so that helps cover it anyway.

EDIT: I was only charged tax on the discounted amount, so you may want to double check the receipt on Amazon and contact them if that's not the case for you.

How much power does a camera pull? Say for a home security camera setup?

I double checked and I was definitely charged sales tax on the full, non-discounted price; I just re-did the math.

I'll see about contacting Amazon about it...

Totally depends on the camera. PTZ or cameras with high power IR use more power. To be sure you must check the specification sheet for the exact model of camera you plan on buying or already own. Your typical camera with IR uses around 5 Watts Max. You're probably going to be fine with an uplink cable and then maxing out the switch with cameras at 5 watts. There are many other POE devices, some access points draw quite a bit, so do phones and display devices. Really need to do your due diligence when you plan your project.

I've never come close to maxing out a switch on power, so I don't know if there's a safety margin you want to include like 10% below what the max rated value is or whatever. chances are you won't run into that for typical home setup. If it's too many by another, they're only 40 bucks man lol I didn't even need one and I bought one to put it on the shelf.

I was billed PA State sales tax of 6% on the discounted amount ($2.40 tax on $39.99). Could it vary by state? Meaning some states charge sales tax on the non-discounted amount, others on the discounted amount.

FWIW, here's my (incorrect) tax on an order for two switches:

Code:
Order Summary
Item(s) Subtotal:$119.98
Shipping & Handling:$2.99
Your Coupon Savings:-$40.00
Free Shipping:-$2.99
Total before tax:$79.98
Estimated tax to be collected:$11.40
Grand Total:$91.38
My tax rate is 9.5% and $11.40 is 9.5% of $119.98. Chatted with an online rep and they've forwarded my tax adjustment request to some "tax department" and said it should be taken care of within 24 hours.

Newegg is "the little guys"?

I guess compared to Amazon.

I wish there was someone that was basically "Newegg fifteen years ago" I could support instead, because supporting the company they've evolved into feels like supporting rakutan.
