The consensus

What reviewers found

Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.

Across the reviewers we read, the REOLINK RLA-PS1 is the go-to PoE pick for camera systems, especially within REOLINK's own ecosystem. r/reolinkcam community members repeatedly confirm it powers multiple PoE cameras reliably, citing its 8 PoE ports, roughly 120W power budget (about 15W per port), and two gigabit uplinks that let you feed both an NVR and the wider network. A dedicated YouTube review and verified-purchase ratings (4.6 across 419) reinforce the easy beginner-friendly setup.

What reviewers liked

  • Community-confirmed reliable power for multiple PoE cameras
  • 120W budget (~15W/port) with two gigabit uplinks
  • Beginner-friendly auto-detecting PoE setup

Where it falls short

  • PoE ports are 10/100Mbps, too slow for access points
  • Newer REOLINK NVRs may make a separate switch unnecessary
  • Narrow use case centered on camera systems

Synthesis · not our verdict

Across the reviewers we read, the REOLINK RLA-PS1 is the go-to PoE pick for camera systems, especially within REOLINK's own ecosystem. r/reolinkcam community members repeatedly confirm it powers multiple PoE cameras reliably, citing its 8 PoE ports, roughly 120W power budget (about 15W per port), and two gigabit uplinks that let you feed both an NVR and the wider network. A dedicated YouTube review and verified-purchase ratings (4.6 across 419) reinforce the easy beginner-friendly setup.

The key caveat surfaced consistently in r/reolinkcam threads is that the eight PoE ports run at 10/100Mbps, which is plenty for cameras but inadequate for high-throughput access points; only the two uplinks are gigabit. Reviewers also note that with newer REOLINK NVRs a separate PoE switch isn't always necessary. For separating camera traffic and powering a multi-camera setup over single cables, though, the community consensus is positive.

Key specs

Source: Amazon listing
Power Over Ethernet
The 10-Port PoE switch provides a reliable PoE solution featuring 8 PoE ports (10/100Mbps) and 2 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports (10/100/1000Mbps). Compliant with IEEE802.3af/at standard, it can deliver up to 30W for each PoE port and has a total power budget of 120W for at most 8 PoE devices.
Intelligent Power Management
This PoE switch features the power management mechanism, so when the total allocated power exceeds the power budget (120W), the lower priority PoE port will be powered off one by one until the total power is below the threshold that the PoE switch is capable of supplying, which ensures the high priority PoE port’s power supply and protects the device from power overload.
Auto Detection of Adaptive Devices
The PoE switch will automatically detect whether the device connected to its ports is a PoE device and whether it needs to be powered. To avoid damage, it will not supply power to non-PoE devices.
Plug and Play, Easy Set up
Reolink RLA-PS1 PoE switch works perfectly with your PoE cameras with only one Ethernet cable required. Easy to set up even for beginners. You can mount the PoE switch on the wall or desktop, perfect solution for a variety of environments.
Designed to meet your different needs
The PoE switch can be directly connected to your NVR for higher reliability and security, or it can be connected to the same LAN as your NVR to support more features of your cameras. If you don't have an NVR, you can also connect your PoE camera and router directly through the PoE switch.

What customers say

The Reolink switch has 10/100Mbps poe ports and 1000Mbps uplink ports, a 100 port is fine for a camera but not for an access point as that ...
Supportingvia r/reolinkcam
I bought a 8 port POE Switch from Reolink Switch, NVR and 15 cameras. My question is about the Switch. It has 8 porets, but two uplink ports.
