The switch delivers a total PoE budget of 120 W and supports IEEE 802.3af/at powered devices. CCTV-focused functions include PoE watchdog, IPC recognition, port isolation, Perpetual PoE and smart protection features, while Ruijie Cloud provides lifetime remote management and monitoring.
Key Capabilities
8 × Gigabit PoE+ Ports
Eight 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports support IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PoE, allowing compatible IP cameras and other powered network devices to receive data and power through a single Ethernet connection.
120 W Total PoE Budget
The switch provides a combined 120 W PoE budget across its eight powered ports, supporting multi-camera CCTV systems and other compatible PoE devices within the total available power limit.
Dedicated 1GE SFP Uplink
A separate Gigabit SFP optical interface provides flexible fibre uplink capability for connecting the switch to compatible backbone infrastructure over longer distances.
Perpetual PoE
Perpetual PoE is designed to maintain power to connected PoE devices even while the switch itself restarts, helping reduce unnecessary camera reboots during maintenance or configuration changes.
PoE Watchdog
PoE watchdog can help identify and recover unresponsive powered devices, reducing the need for manual camera power cycling at supported CCTV installations.
Lifetime Ruijie Cloud Management
Cloud-based monitoring and management provide remote visibility and maintenance for compatible deployments, making the switch practical for distributed commercial and surveillance sites.
Best For
- 8-Camera CCTV Systems: Eight Gigabit PoE+ ports provide a direct power and network platform for compatible IP cameras.
- Fibre-Linked Surveillance: The dedicated SFP port supports compatible optical uplinks between network cabinets, buildings or longer-distance locations.
- Retail & Offices: Gigabit switching and cloud management suit shops, offices and smaller business networks.
- Hotels & Hospitality: Port isolation, remote management and fanless operation suit compact commercial network installations.
- Remote Camera Sites: PoE watchdog and Perpetual PoE can help improve uptime and reduce manual intervention when supported devices become unresponsive.
Why Choose the RG-ES211GS-P
The RG-ES211GS-P provides a practical balance of PoE capacity, Gigabit performance, fibre connectivity and CCTV-focused management for small to medium surveillance networks. Eight PoE+ ports and a 120 W budget can support multiple compatible cameras, while the two additional Gigabit copper ports and separate SFP interface give installers flexibility for NVR, router or backbone connections. PoE watchdog, Perpetual PoE and port isolation add useful resilience beyond what a basic unmanaged PoE switch can provide. Available through Security Wholesalers, the RG-ES211GS-P is particularly well suited to projects that need an 8-port PoE camera switch with remote cloud management and a dedicated fibre uplink.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Although the switch has 11 total network interfaces, only one is an SFP optical port. The remaining ten are Gigabit RJ45 copper ports, comprising eight PoE+ ports and two non-PoE ports.
Buyer Tip: Add the maximum power consumption of every connected PoE device before installation. The eight powered ports share a 120 W total budget, so the combined camera and accessory load must remain within this limit.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the RG-ES211GS-P if: You need eight Gigabit PoE+ ports, two extra Gigabit copper ports, one SFP uplink and a 120 W PoE budget.
- Choose a model with two SFP ports if: The network requires dual fibre uplinks, fibre redundancy or ring-network architecture.
- Choose a higher PoE-budget model if: The combined maximum load of your cameras or powered devices exceeds 120 W.
- Choose this model over an unmanaged switch if: PoE watchdog, Perpetual PoE, port isolation, CCTV smart protection or cloud management would improve maintenance and reliability.
