Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 8 PoE ports plus 2 Gigabit uplinks in one 10-port unit
  • ✓ IEEE 802.3af/at compliant, up to 30W per PoE port
  • ✓ 120W total budget powers up to 8 PoE cameras
  • ✓ Priority power management sheds low-priority ports to prevent overload
  • ✓ Plug-and-play: one cable per camera, no config needed

Cons

  • ✗ PoE ports capped at 10/100Mbps; only uplinks run Gigabit
  • ✗ 120W budget averages ~15W per port across all 8
  • ✗ Unmanaged switch—no VLAN, QoS, or web console
  • ✗ Caps at 8 PoE devices; larger arrays need a bigger switch

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored REOLINK PoE Switch with 8 PoE and 2 Gigabit Uplink Ports RLA-PS1 using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the networking category. Compare with similarly-priced alternatives in the networking category before committing.

Key Features

  • Power Over Ethernet: The 10-Port PoE switch provides a reliable PoE solution featuring 8 PoE ports (10/100/1000Mbps) 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.
