The REOLINK RLA-PS1 is an unmanaged PoE switch engineered to deliver stable power and data connectivity for IP camera networks and NVR systems. It features eight PoE ports compliant with IEEE802.3af/at standards, supplying up to 30 watts per port to devices such as PTZ cameras, dome cameras, and wireless access points. Two additional Gigabit uplink ports enable high-speed backhaul to a router or NVR, reducing bottleneck risks during multi-stream transmissions. The metal casing serves both as a protective enclosure and a heatsink, promoting efficient heat dissipation for continuous operation in varied environments.

The switch supports auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX on all ports, ensuring straightforward cabling without crossover concerns. With a switching capacity of 20 Gbps and a store-and-forward architecture, it processes simultaneous video feeds with minimal latency and packet loss. The total PoE budget provides enough headroom for several cameras, making the unit suitable for expanding surveillance setups.

Each port also features LED indicators to show link status, activity, and PoE power delivery, simplifying monitoring and troubleshooting. Constructed with a robust metal housing, the device offers durability and can be placed on a desktop or mounted on a wall using the included brackets. The fanless design eliminates moving parts, resulting in silent operation ideal for noise-sensitive locations such as offices or homes.

The unit operates across a wide temperature range, maintaining reliability in both indoor and semi-outdoor conditions. Its compact footprint allows it to fit into tight spaces without obstructing airflow. Designed for seamless integration with the REOLINK RLN36 NVR and a broad range of PoE IP cameras, the switch functions as a plug-and-play solution requiring no software configuration.

It also works with standard PoE devices from other brands, offering flexibility. The stable power delivery and consistent data throughput ensure smooth video recording and live viewing. At a price point that emphasizes value, the RLA-PS1 provides an economical way to build or extend a PoE-based surveillance network without sacrificing build quality or performance.
