IP cameras that rely on PoE need a switch capable of feeding them power, and the TL-SG1008P is the standard, no-fuss answer for small-to-mid installs. Four of its eight Gigabit ports supply PoE+ (up to 64W total budget), which is enough to run up to four standard IP cameras — power and data over the same Ethernet run, eliminating the need for separate power adapters or injectors near each camera. The remaining four ports handle non-PoE devices like the NVR itself, a router uplink, or a PC. Intelligent power management automatically prioritizes ports under load and can protect the system from overload, and metal casing keeps the unit running reliably in the cabinets, cupboards, or server racks where these typically live. It requires zero configuration — plug it in and it works, which matters for installers who don’t want to spend billable time on network setup for a straightforward 3–4 camera job. This is the workhorse switch to stock for the majority of small residential and small-business CCTV installs.
