Makes sense, but wouldn't a switch give you the same thing?doesn't really need one... but it provides option for vlans to keep camera traffic separate from the rest of the traffic from the barn.
Plus, I needed POE for the cameras and nano stations.
guess it depends on if he has a managed switch handy or not.Makes sense, but wouldn't a switch give you the same thing?
I recently added two unifi switches to my shit, but really haven't even messed around with that I can actually do with them. Whenever I get around to actually running some cable, they should be handy for isolating some shit on my network though.
I mistyped... it's a 16 port switch...Makes sense, but wouldn't a switch give you the same thing?

Nope, the ui still sucks ass. At least the hardware is cheap and generally decent.Not user friendly in the slightest. That was years ago though, so maybe now it's not so ass.
OK, that makes more sense. Although 16 port still sounds overkill.I mistyped... it's a 16 port switch...

What would the 'technical' name for that be? For those of us who like the theory but would rather not deal with Unify.OK, that makes more sense. Although 16 port still sounds overkill.
Sidetrack:
I picked one of these guys up recently - unify flex mini. 4 port POE powered switch. You can feed it POE and get up to 25w worth of POE on the 4 other ports. Seems like they'd be awesome for doing clusters of cameras where you only need to feed one wire to an area where you'd then be able to run up to 4 cameras.
They even make an outdoor enclosure for it.
POE passthrough switch or POE powered switch.What would the 'technical' name for that be? For those of us who like the theory but would rather not deal with Unify.
