PoE switch.

Also written Power over Ethernet switch, PoE network switch, camera switch.

How do I choose a PoE switch?

Work from the power budget, not the port count. Add up what the devices draw, cameras at roughly 6 to 12 W and access points at 15 to 30 W, and pick a switch whose total budget clears that with headroom, because the budget runs out before the ports do. Then match the standard to the heaviest device: 802.3af gives 15.4 W, 802.3at 30 W, 802.3bt up to 90 W.

Defined by IEEE 802.3, which defines the af, at and bt powering types, published by IEEE and TIA.
