Switch Advice

[HoosierD]

Folks,

Building a system, and I'm at the switch. I'll have 8 total cameras:

(1) Axis PTZ with it's own injector since it has a heater, so skip it;
(6) HDW5231R or HDW2231R (or a mix);
(1) SD1A203T PTZ.

So 7 needing POE. Seeing specs rating them all, say at ~10W, what is the minimum switch wattage I should shoot for? Will an 85W switch (this one) provide enough overhead, or should I go 95W or higher, say this one? I plan to segregate the cams onto a vlan (maybe) but dont necessarily need to as I plan to set a BS gateway in the settings. Thoughts? Recommendations?

Those cameras used between 2 and 3 Watts.... There are a bunch of threads on switches...

Thanks. I've read quite a few, and I think my confusion has landed with the camera spec sheets that state "<8.5" or "10W" etc. 3-4W creates a no brainer.

the spec sheet is max...IR on and also varifocal motor working..even then I dont think it gets that high...

I'd be more concerned with the number of the ports than wattage. I like zyxel switches and hikvision makes a Poe switch or has their name.on it at least. Never tried it tho
