Common questions
How far can the NETGEAR 8 Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Easy Smart Managed Switch GS308EP identify someone?
NETGEAR does not publish both a sensor resolution and a focal length for this product, and DORI distance cannot be derived without both. Rather than estimate one, this sheet leaves it out. If you have the manufacturer datasheet to hand, the DORI calculator on this site works the distance out from those two figures directly.
What is the infrared range of the NETGEAR 8 Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Easy Smart Managed Switch GS308EP?
NETGEAR does not publish an infrared range for this product, so this site does not state one. An invented figure would be worse than no figure, because a reader would plan a camera position around it. Where a maker does publish a range, treat it as the distance its own lamp reaches in ideal conditions rather than the distance at which a face stays identifiable.
What specifications does NETGEAR publish for this product?
PoE ports: 8, PoE standard: 802.3af/at. Everything in the table on this page is taken from the manufacturer listing rather than measured by us. Any row shown as not published is a figure this maker does not state, and this site will not fill that gap with an estimate.
Is the NETGEAR 8 Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Easy Smart Managed Switch GS308EP worth buying?
Managed, so the cameras can be put on their own VLAN and kept off the rest of the home network, which is the single most effective thing you can do about camera firmware you do not control. This site does not test products in person, so that assessment comes from the published specifications, the applicable standards and verified owner reports rather than from hands-on trials we did not run. Prices change often, so check the current listing before deciding.

Work out whether it fits
Specifications are published figures, not measurements we took. This site does not test products in person. Where a maker does not publish a figure, such as a true infrared range or a low light rating, this page says it is not published rather than estimating one, because a reader planning a camera position around an invented number is the worst outcome this site could produce.
