POE swithch advise

[Bubs]

Thanks encouragement help I have started down Blue Iris paths I now have POE question

Currently have 8 port BV gigabit Switch with 130 power budget and I need mover POE ports (as will no longer be using the POE ports in my NVR)

Should I replace it with a BV-Tech 18 Port PoE+ Switch (16 PoE+ Ports (10/100)| 2 Gigabit Ethernet uplink) power budget 130W

(Slower and lower power budget)

Or just add another 8 port BV gigabit Switch with 130 power budget

Thank in advance for the Advise

I have the 18 port version you referred to and it works great. The 16 ports being 10/100 isn't a problem because the camera don't need anything close to 100 Mbps. The power budget should be fine unless you're running a bunch of PTZs or IR flood lamps.
