TL-SF1005P

Good enough for running set of two security cameras. No setup needed so good choice for everyone. Mine is plugged to another TP-link switch downstairs and anything I plug to this one, gets instantly recognized by my network. I personally would prefer the port LED's on the other side of the device. That way I could mount it to a wall fex, have the wiring come from below and with a fast glance from the front I could see if somethings amiss. This would naturally require the power input from the port-side, but I recon this is market-tested design so can't really argue with it :) (Mine is still unmounted as the full-house cabling drained my energy)

Didn’t know anything about this when my son told me this was part of what was needed for him to put up two security cameras for us. Imagined it was bigger and would need its own shelf and almost put one up, glad I didn’t as it’s about the same size as a large box of Maltesers and can be hung up on two screws on a wall. A good buy and security cameras brilliant, we are much safer now. Patrick

As all TP products, build and cost is very good. Would recommend.

I have 2 of these in operation - very simple, plug and play - no configuration. I use these to bring multiple devices easily onto my network - IP security cameras. Small and compact, attached to a wall (with velcro tape). If the product can be improved then I think having the ability to attach to the wall with screw fittings would be beneficial.

Great little unit, only down side is the power supply is about the same size as the switch, it’s not integrated into the plug. I assume this is because it’s POE and needs more amps

Built like a tank BUT you need to be aware that it uses the newer POE standard for 'active' connection. I spent a 'happy' hour or so finding this out and reading up what it means. It couldnt power my new access point (see another review) as it uses passive POE. Lots of nice facilities such as boost for long distances and port prioritisation. It can be used indirectly for passive POE devices if you chain it with a Ubiquiti converter. My AP now happy. Good product and great value for money.

I’m not always TP-Link’s biggest fan (I found their Homeplus adapters very unreliable). This however is just great. I had one POE cctv camera in my loft. That was on a combined Homeplug/POE adapter. When I added a second camera, I could have bought another Homeplug/POE adapter, but this seemed like a more elegant, extensible solution. I plugged in the two cameras to this hub and the hub to a Homeplug adapter. My NAS is just downstairs on a Homeplug adapter. Two HD cameras running permanently not a problem. I’ve had this hub for just over a year now. It has not missed a beat or needed a restart since I got it (just over a year). I’ve recently moved my router into the loft temporarily for testing of my broadband. That means that all my traffic between NAS and router is currently going through the hub alongside the IP cameras. Not an ideal permanent solution, but the hub has coped fine.

Small compact, fast and easy to use. It weighs nothing looks good and all ports are Poe
