Been looking for some network switches for my house, this seems to be a very good price.
Ubiquiti Networks UBNT UniFi US-16-150W PoE Switch 16-port 150W
16x 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit) RJ45 Ports
2x 1 Gbps SFP Ports
1x Serial Console Port

Forwarding Rate: 26.78 Mpps
Maximum Power Consumption: 150W
Non-Blocking Throughput: 18 Gbps
Network/VLAN Configuration
Jumbo frame and flow control configuration
Storm control setting per port
Mines only loud when it boots up. Silent in use with 8 ports connected. You can swap the fans out if you need to.
It’s not that loud at all. I love mine
What do I need for my house? 4 ports around the house, all back to garage with the nbn. 2 cameras, and would like 2 wireless access points. So much ubiquiti equipment I'm confused as to what I need.
If you are confused about what you need, this is probably not for you. No offense haha.
I used to run a USG+US+UCK setup plus a couple APs. Then they came out with the Dream Machine, it's a USG, US, UCK and AP all in one, I highly recommend it. You may eventually grow out of it, but it's a terrific start into prosumer networking.
EDIT: the Dream Machine doesn't have PoE so you may need PoE injector/switch if you intend to have PoE APs.
So what do I need if these aren't for me? Which product/brand will suit my needs above? I also got a NAS and 250mbps Fiber. Thx
A Unifi Dream Machine :) it can be had for around $450 and should be more than enough for your need. It in itself is a wireless AP, so theoretically you only need another AP. But like I said, you may need PoE injector/switch if you want additional PoE APs. For cameras, do you have existing cloud subscription? If not, you may want a Cloud Key Gen2+.
Another solution is the Dream Machine Pro for ~$700, it has PoE and Unifi NVR with built-in 3.5" HDD support so all you need is couple more PoE APs for wherever you need them (itself is not a wireless AP). This imo is the most elegant solution if you have the budget for it.
Obviously you can decouple your network by going for separate USG, US, UCK but I don't see the reason to for home network.
@SickDmith: Oh you are right. I stand corrected. I always thought it did for some reasons. So he'd want a PoE injector/switch either way.
Guess Ubiquiti really want to sell them switches huh.
There are so many ways you can go about it.
I'd get the Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Machine (it has a built in Ubiquiti UniFi nanoHD wireless access point).
Another way is the Ubiquiti UniFi Security Gateway + Ubiquiti UniFi PoE switch + Ubiquiti UniFi wireless access points.
Whatever Ubiquiti cameras you want + Ubiquiti Cloud Key Gen2 Plus to store the camera footage.
Just be careful if you’re thinking of putting it in the living room… I’ve heard it can get quite loud
