My wife and I are building a home and we ran ethernet to every room and a few camera locations outside. In total, there are 16 cat6 cables in our network hub and an additional cable coming from the Verizon ONT. The 3 cameras will be PoE as well. I found this switch on amazon that seems like it will do everything I need but want to confirm prior to purchasing. Is this a good buy or are there other brands I should be looking into?

    I’d recommend a 24 non-POE switch with POE injectors for those few devices that you are going to run using POE. That way when the POE on a cheap switch dies, and it will, you don’t have to replace the entire switch. Or buy a cheap 5-port POE switch for the cameras and daisy chain it.
