Ensure smooth and stable data transmission for your surveillance system with quality CCTV network switches from CTC Communications.
Network switches provide the backbone of many IP CCTV systems, helping connect cameras, NVRs, routers, access points and other network devices. They are available in PoE and non-PoE configurations to suit small home systems, commercial surveillance networks and larger multi-camera installations.
Choose from a range of port options, including 4, 6, 8, 10, 16 and 24-port switches, with selected managed and unmanaged models available depending on the level of control, monitoring and network configuration required.
The right switch depends on whether your cameras need power over the network cable or whether power is supplied separately. PoE switches are especially useful for IP camera installations because they can provide both data and power through one Ethernet cable.
| Switch Type | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| PoE Switch | Provides network data and power to compatible devices over Ethernet cable. | IP CCTV cameras, access points and selected networked security devices. |
| Non-PoE Switch | Provides network data only. Devices require separate power. | Network equipment, NVR connections or devices with separate power supplies. |
| Unmanaged Switch | Plug-and-play setup with minimal configuration. | Smaller CCTV systems and simple network installations. |
| Managed Switch | Provides advanced configuration, monitoring and network control options. | Larger commercial CCTV systems, segmented networks and managed IT environments. |
CCTV network switches are available in different port counts to suit small, medium and large surveillance systems. Allowing spare ports is often useful for future cameras, NVR connections, access points or other networked devices.
| Port Count | Common Use | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 4-Port Switches | Small camera systems or compact network areas. | Homes, small shops, offices and simple CCTV upgrades. |
| 6 to 8-Port Switches | Moderate camera counts with room for essential network equipment. | Homes, retail stores, small commercial sites and office CCTV systems. |
| 10-Port Switches | Medium CCTV systems with multiple cameras and uplink requirements. | Commercial offices, warehouses and growing surveillance networks. |
| 16-Port Switches | Larger camera systems with multiple IP devices. | Warehouses, schools, commercial buildings and multi-camera NVR systems. |
| 24-Port Switches | Large surveillance networks requiring more camera and device connections. | Commercial, industrial and multi-site CCTV infrastructure. |
