PoE power and deployment scenarios

– How to plan power: Add the wattage requirements of all PoE devices and ensure the total does not exceed the 60 W PoE budget. If total device power required is higher, consider using a higher-budget PoE switch or external PoE injectors.
– Typical uses:
– Small CCTV system: Useful when cameras are low to medium power. If you need to power 8 high-power cameras simultaneously, verify each camera’s wattage versus the 60 W budget and Hi-PoE capability on ports 1-2.
– VoIP and Wi-Fi access points: Works well for mixed deployments where not all devices draw maximum PoE power.
– Example: If two cameras use 20 W each on ports 1 and 2 (leveraging Hi-PoE) and four other cameras use 6 W each, total equals 20 + 20 + (4 x 6) = 68 W. This exceeds 60 W, so you would need to redistribute devices or add an injector or a higher-capacity switch.

Installation, mounting, and management

– Mounting: Desktop or wall mount for compact installations. Metal chassis improves durability and heat dissipation.
– Cooling: Fanless design means silent operation and fewer moving parts, ideal for indoor surveillance closets or office desks.
– Management: Plug-and-play for basic setups. Web or CLI access is available for more advanced configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates.

Protection and reliability

– Surge protection: Built-in surge protection helps safeguard connected devices and switch ports against voltage spikes.
– Port isolation: Limits lateral traffic between ports for improved security in mixed deployments.
– PoE watchdog: Auto-reset of failed PoE ports to recover stuck devices without manual intervention.
– Operating range: Designed for typical indoor surveillance environments, with a broad operating temperature range from -10 C to +55 C.

Price, warranty, and availability

– Price in Pakistan (2025) examples:
– Approximately Rs 9,800 at iVision Tech
– Some listings in the Rs 5,000 to Rs 5,800 range at Janani Computers
– Warranty: 1 year from the brand or reseller policy. Check seller terms for warranty coverage and support.

When to choose the DH-CS4010-8ET-60

– Choose this Dahua 8-port PoE switch when you need a cost-effective, compact, and reliable PoE solution for a small CCTV or office network that requires a modest 60 W PoE budget and a single Gigabit uplink.
– Consider a higher PoE budget model if you plan to power multiple high-wattage cameras or PoE devices simultaneously.

Bottom line

The Dahua DH-CS4010-8ET-60 is a practical 8-port PoE switch that balances affordability, solid PoE features, and a compact, fanless design. It is ideal for small CCTV installations, VoIP, and Wi-Fi AP deployments.
