The range at a glance

Sixteen PoE ports is the standard mid-size installation: a floor of offices, a mid-size warehouse, a school building. ONV's class spans unmanaged gigabit, L2 managed, AI watchdog and 250-metre variants.

At this port count the range splits by operating model. Fixed camera networks choose the smart and Easy managed models; networks with VLAN segmentation, ring redundancy or remote PoE management choose the L2+ managed models with SFP uplinks; and sites with long perimeter runs choose the 250-metre or AI watchdog variants to cut maintenance visits.

How to choose

The 16-PoE-port class is sized by a simple rule: count the powered devices on the segment, then leave at least two spare ports. Power matters as much as ports — add up the draw of every camera, access point or phone and compare it with the total PoE budget in the datasheet, not the headline per-port figure. Where the segment also carries uplinks to another switch or an NVR, prefer the models with dedicated gigabit or SFP uplinks so camera traffic never competes with the uplink.

Where it is deployed

Typical deployments for this class are detailed in the CCTV and IP camera solution pages; the same hardware also powers wireless access points, IP phones and access-control readers on the same segments.

Frequently asked questions

16-port or two 8-port switches?

One 16-port switch is simpler to power, mount and manage, and its shared budget lets high-draw devices borrow unused watts. Two 8-port units make sense when the devices split across two cabinets or buildings — in which case consider the industrial line for the remote node.

What budget should a 16-port switch have?

Sixteen fixed cameras at ~10W need ~160W; add PTZ or heated housings and the figure climbs fast. The catalogue's 16-port class runs from 160W to 250W versions — pick the budget after listing your devices, not before.
