I am looking for a 16 port switch to run 14x Dahua 2-3MP cameras @ 20fps.
My Blue Iris PC will also be connected to the switch.
I found these two so far:
NETGEAR ProSAFE JGS516PE
NETGEAR ProSAFE GS516TP

The only real difference I see for the price are the 2 PD ports on the GS516TP which I am not exactly sure what they are.

Or if anyone has any other recommendations.

The first one is "unmanaged" and the second is "managed". I don't know for certain what management capabilities there are, but things like VLANs, probably more performance statistics, port configuration, etc. I have the first one "unmanaged" and it doe what I need.

I may be missing something, but don't only 8 of the 16 ports on those support POE? If that's the case, do you have alternate power methods for the rest of the 14 cameras?

Better to have two 8-port POE switches or single 16 POE switch for noise?
And disadvantages of having two vs one switch?

16 port switches generally have fans that are noisy..there is no disadvanatge to two switches except taking up more space and possibly a few watts in power consumption..the advantage is silent and some redundancy, if one fails half your cams are still working

Thanks for the replies.
If I get two of these:
Amazon.com: Ubiquiti Networks 8-Port UniFi Switch, Managed PoE+ Gigabit Switch with SFP, 150W (US-8-150W): Computers & Accessories
Do I connect them together using the SFP ports? Is that what they are for?
These have no fans and seem pretty nice. Just wondering if I need to sacrifice an ethernet port to connect them or if that is what the SFP ports are for.

Then my next questions would be, if I use the SFP port, does it make port another port irrelevant?

You're right, I'm looking at these now. Looking for a 16 port, POE, near-silent, and web managed or smart.
I found these to do that, mostly near-silent is hard to find with 16 ports.

available for 90 or so elsewhere.

Looks like I am going with two 8 ports.
Is it better to get this and connect two together with the STP ports?
They are more but cost isn't an issue for this.
