Bueno

I have a rack full of TP-Link TL-SG1016PE 150W switches and one went bad. The super low price of this one tempted me to see if it might work for awhile and might potentially give me 8 extra ports in the same rack space. My main concern was that in one place the product description says 240W over 16 ports and another says 200W over 16 ports. It advertises 30W max per port and IEEE802.3af/at compliance. It was unclear whether the product came with rack-mount ears or not.Mine came with removable ears and was nicely packaged in an anti-static bag. It runs many of my cameras except for my REOLINK PTZ RLC-423 models (802.3 at mode and supposed to draw <24W). Those cameras run fine off any of the TP-Link's which are advertised to distribute 150W over 8 POE ports.If you have low power cameras this might be a cost-effective box for you.

Excellent

My Lorex system came with 8 wired cameras and 8 virtual forts for an additional wireless cameras. I plugged this into the network and attached 4 other POE cameras I had and the Lorex system recognized them and everything was up and running in a few minutes. Excellent product. Some of the Ethernet runs on this switch are 200 feet long and no problems at all

Never having used a POE switch, this turned out to be an excellent purchase. Very inexpensive and perfect for a small office or in my case, home security cameras. No more need to run 120v power for camera power supplies. One Ethernet cable and video data and power are taken care of. First impression out of the box was that the case is metal, not plastic! My cameras also have several very bright LED lights for night illumination. These are run over the POE power, and the switch handles them without a problem. I hope the company plans on continued production of this switch. I plan to purchase more as I expand my video security system.

I have a pretty complex network (for a home) and purchased this for the connection between two of my POE cameras and the synology NAS with Surveillance Station. Within 24 hours after installing this device, the synology server started reporting international IP addresses trying to login into my synology server via SSH. You could see how they were auto trying different combinations of user and password combinations via an automated system, bombarding the server with logins.I had to contact my ISP and change my gateway IP address. I removed this and purchased a Netgear POE switch (I've used these for several years). Don't know what I was thinking. There's a serious cyberwar going down and I think this is the beginning of getting these malicious hack devices into US homes.Update 12/14: They increased the frequency of login attempts to the server. It’s now two times for every attempt. Will post pics of this evidence shortly.Update 12/19: After locking down and analying their work. They appear to be focusing on the my synology servers and the randomized hacking of root access to these servers. I just uploaded the picture for supporting evidence of the multitude of IP addresses they're using so as to not be blocked by my servers. What you're seeing in that list occurred in a matter of minutes. I removed my server name and ip address for security reasons.
