The Vivotek AW-GEV-108A-130 is a professional-grade Layer 2 managed network switch purpose-built for IP surveillance and security deployments. This compact yet powerful switch combines eight Gigabit PoE ports with dual SFP fiber connectivity, delivering a total power budget of 130W across differentiated port configurations. The flexible port design—featuring 90W high-power delivery on ports 7-8 and 30W on ports 1-6—accommodates both standard IP cameras and power-hungry PTZ devices and access points, making it an ideal backbone for mid-to-large surveillance networks.
Built-in web-based smart management delivers comprehensive surveillance-focused features including support for up to 256 Vivotek devices with automatic discovery, device grouping via VLAN, and topology/floor/Google Map visualization. The switch supports extensive VLAN configurations (4,096 VLAN IDs) including port-based, 802.1Q tag-based, MAC-based, IP subnet-based, and voice VLAN modes. Advanced bridging protocols include STP, RSTP, and MSTP for network redundancy, while static and dynamic link aggregation (LACP) enable port bonding. Full IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack support ensures compatibility with modern network architectures.
Eight hardware priority queues with port-based, 802.1p, and DSCP/CoS prioritization ensure smooth video streaming and device management traffic. IGMP snooping v1/v2 and MLD v1/v2 snooping optimize multicast performance. Storm control, port security, IP source guard, and DHCP snooping provide Layer 2 protection, while RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication and SSL encryption secure administrative access. Loop detection and cable diagnostics simplify network troubleshooting.
The switch deeply integrates with Vivotek cameras and video servers, offering surveillance device management lists, configuration file export/import, remote reboot/restore functions, and on/off-line status monitoring. PoE alive checking confirms device connectivity, while PoE reboot capability resolves connection issues remotely.
Ideal for IP surveillance networks of 10−250+ devices, access control systems, building automation, and integrated security deployments requiring managed switching with built-in Vivotek device administration and high-availability PoE delivery.
The AW-GEV-108A-130 addresses a critical market gap: surveillance-grade switching with Vivotek-native management. The differentiated PoE architecture—90W on ports 7-8 and 30W on 1-6—reflects real-world deployment: high-power PTZ cameras and APs on dedicated ports, standard IP cameras on lower-power lines. This avoids over-provisioning and simplifies power budgeting on medium-sized installations.
The 20 Gbps non-blocking fabric with 14.88 Mpps throughput handles 8× 1080p30 streams comfortably, and the dual SFP combo ports enable fiber uplinks without dedicated transceivers. Surveillance-specific features—device auto-discovery, floor/topology mapping, configuration backup—reduce commissioning time versus generic Layer 2 switches. Extended PoE to 250m appeals to large campus installations.
The 24-month warranty and compact 1U form factor support both data closet and distributed deployment models. Recommended for integrators building mid-tier surveillance networks prioritizing Vivotek ecosystem lock-in and simplified device management over generic SNMP-only switching.
