PoE Switches & Injectors
Shop PoE switches and PoE injectors for CCTV installations in Australia. Every switch we stock is unmanaged plug-and-play — no configuration required. PoE switches let you power and connect IP cameras over a single Cat6 cable, ideal for installations beyond your NVR's built-in PoE port count.
When do you need a PoE switch?
Most NVRs include 4, 8, or 16 PoE ports — enough for the matched camera count. You'll need an additional PoE switch when:
- You want to add more cameras than the NVR has PoE ports for
- You're running multiple cameras to a remote location with a single backhaul cable
- Your NVR is in a different room from the camera cluster (centralise PoE near the cameras, run network back to the NVR)
- You need a higher PoE budget per port (e.g. PTZ cameras or Hi-PoE devices)
Port count & wattage
- 4-port PoE switch — small home or office, 4 cameras + 1 uplink. Typical PoE budget ~60W
- 8-port PoE switch — most popular tier, 8 cameras + uplink. Typical PoE budget ~110W
- 16/24-port PoE switch — commercial / multi-floor installations. Budget 250W+
CCTV-specific use
For IP camera surveillance, look for these PoE switch features:
- PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, 30W per port) — required for PTZ cameras and Hi-PoE devices
- 250m extended range mode — extends the standard 100m limit by reducing bandwidth (useful for long camera runs)
- Unmanaged operation — plug-and-play, no IP config or login required
- Fanless design — silent operation for office and home use
PoE injectors
A PoE injector adds PoE power to a single Ethernet line — useful when you need to add one or two PoE devices to a non-PoE network (e.g. a single camera into a regular router). For 3+ cameras, a PoE switch is more cost-effective. We'll add injectors to our range based on demand — email sales@cctvshop.com.au if you need one urgently.
Pair PoE switches with IP cameras and an NVR recorder for a complete network surveillance system. Or save with a CCTV package that includes everything pre-matched.
