POE switch do i need gigabit for 6-8 2mp cams?

[LandofTomorrow]

Hi guys,
I had a question that got buried down in another thread so wanted to post separately here.

Looking for a POE switch for 6 Dahua 2mp starlights with some room to add 1/2 later.

1. One switch mentioned in this forum is the BV-TECH that has 8 POE ports PLUS an uplink (nice to have 8 ports for cameras). The only issue I wonder is the uplink is also 10/100.

2. The gigabit BV tech switch loses one port for uplink (really 7 + 1) otherwise it would be no brainer.

@nayr had mentioned something like 40mb/sec for 4 such cameras somewhere else. In that case it should be OK i guess to run 7 or 8 IP cameras on a 10/100 uplink correct? Or is it better to go with a gigabit switch? I really dont think in the near future il go over 8 cams.

3. Also, came across this one on amazon's warehouse: Has 8 dedicated POE gigabit ports and separate uplinks, also gigabit

I dont think i need a managed one for home, but just wondered based on specs and 8 full ports.

thanks again

For only a few bucks more I would (and have) bought Gigabit. Who knows what I'll have plugged into it in a few years, or what I'll upgrade to and where else I'll put it in my house. Might as well have the fastest. And it's not BRAND new speeds so there's bit a huge premium on it.

Someone here posted this one a while back that was on sale (used) for $75 or so. I've been keeping an eye on it just in case it happens again.

I got this one and it's working fine so far. POE+ if I ever get a PTZ or wireless access points and Gigabit for your low price of $72. Only 4 POE ports thou.

Thanks.
Yes 75 would be a good price for the first one u mentioned as it has a separate uplink.
The zyxel as you mentioned only has 4 poe ports so not enough for my current 6 ip cameras.
Too bad the BV tech gigabit loses one of its ports for uplink.
