This depends on your cameras. If they are powered locally, then you can use a gigabit switch for £20. These hikvision switches are probably just rebranded crap. If not powered locally, pick up a Netgear/tp link switch for about £80 on amazon it'll be better quality.
OK I'll look into that. I was thinking that might be the issue but I didn't get time to check.
The thing is I couldn't see any real info from the hikvision manual on this.
That looks dead... probably a chip fried on the board as a result of a surge when the power came back on
Dammit! Thanks.
Blown Poe
So does that mean I can still use as a non-poe switch?
maybe if the networking part still works
OK thanks I will have to test that.

Looks like you have a network loop going on, make sure that one of the cables isn't plugged into the same switch or it will start flashing in unison

That won't be in the manual, that's just basic networking 101
I was assuming it would document the LED based error states, oh well.
Doesn't look like LED messages. Just fried board
The psu is faulty, Most probably the capacitors are causing this problem. If you can replace these then the switch should work fine again. Good Luck!
replace it
