TRENDnet’s Smart Surveillance Switches are built with security installers and integrators in mind, not just generic IT use.

Key surveillance-focused capabilities include:

• ONVIF optimization: The switches are designed to work smoothly with ONVIF-compliant IP cameras and NVRs, making it easier to integrate multi-vendor surveillance systems.
• Surveillance mode dashboard: A graphical dashboard gives you detailed visibility into the switch and each connected PoE device, so you can quickly see status, power usage, and connectivity.
• In-GUI camera access: You can change device IP settings and even view individual IP camera video directly within the switch’s GUI, which helps streamline setup and troubleshooting.
• Voice and data optimization: Features like QoS and a dedicated voice VLAN help you isolate and prioritize VoIP traffic from regular data, improving voice performance in mixed environments.

Together, these features help you rethink how you deploy and manage surveillance networks, reducing manual work and simplifying day-to-day operations.

The switches are designed to make both deployment and upkeep more efficient.

PoE capabilities that simplify installs:

• Up to 30W per port: Each PoE port can deliver up to 30W of power, supporting a wide range of PoE cameras and devices.
• Power and data over existing Ethernet: You can use existing Ethernet cabling to deliver both power and data, which helps reduce the need for separate power runs and extra hardware.
• Long-distance PoE support: The switches support PoE networking up to 656 ft (200m) at speeds up to 10 Mbps, extending your deployment range beyond typical PoE limits.
• PoE port controls: You can enable/disable PoE per port, set power schedules, and use PD alive check for automated recovery.

PoE self-healing for fewer truck rolls:

• PD alive check: The switch pings each connected PoE device. If a camera or other PoE device stops responding, the switch will automatically reboot that PoE port to try to recover it.
• Power scheduling: You can schedule when PoE is on or off, which can help manage power usage and reset devices during low-traffic windows.
• 4-digit LED power display: A built-in LED display shows total PoE power, available power, and power-per-port, so you can quickly verify power budgets on-site.

These capabilities help reimagine day-to-day maintenance by automating common fixes and giving you better control over power, which can reduce both installation time and ongoing support visits.

Yes, the switches are designed to support both surveillance and broader SMB networking needs.

Scalability and performance features:

• Gigabit connectivity: The switches provide Gigabit ports for high-speed connections to cameras, NVRs, and other network devices.
• LACP (Link Aggregation): You can group ports together to increase bandwidth between switches, which is useful for uplinks carrying multiple camera streams.
• VLAN support: Create VLANs to segment and isolate different groups, such as separating surveillance traffic from office data.
• QoS (Quality of Service): Prioritize critical traffic, such as video or voice, to help maintain performance during peak usage.
• Voice VLAN: An easy-to-use voice VLAN feature lets you isolate and prioritize VoIP traffic from normal data traffic to improve call quality.
• SNMP monitoring: Integrate the switches into your existing monitoring tools for centralized visibility and alerts.

Long-distance connectivity:

• SFP slots: Built-in SFP slots support long-distance fiber networking, making it easier to connect remote buildings, floors, or network closets.
• Extended PoE reach: With PoE support up to 656 ft (200m) at up to 10 Mbps, you can place cameras and devices farther from the switch without additional extenders in many scenarios.

These capabilities help you reshape how you design SMB networks by combining surveillance, voice, and data on a single, manageable platform.
