Networking Switches for CCTV, Business & Security Systems

Shop networking switches at CTC Communications for reliable device connectivity across CCTV systems, business networks, home offices, wireless access points, routers, NVRs and security installations.

Switches help connect multiple devices within a network so data can move efficiently between cameras, recorders, computers, access points and internet equipment. For IP CCTV systems, PoE switches are especially useful because they can transmit both data and electrical power through the same Ethernet cable.

PoE Switches for IP Cameras & Network Devices

Power over Ethernet switches allow compatible devices to receive both data and electrical power through one Ethernet cable. This can simplify installation and reduce the need for separate power supplies near each device.

• IP security cameras – Power compatible cameras and transmit video data over the same network cable.
• Wireless access points – Support compatible Wi-Fi access points without separate local power.
• IP phones – Connect and power compatible VoIP handsets.
• Intercom devices – Selected IP intercom systems may use PoE for simpler installation.
• Access control equipment – Selected networked access control devices may be powered through PoE.
• Cleaner cabling – Reduce cable clutter by combining power and data through one Ethernet run.

Managed vs Unmanaged Network Switches

Network switches are available in managed and unmanaged options. The right choice depends on how much control, monitoring and configuration your network requires.

Common Applications for Network Switches
