Netgear M4250-26G4F-PoE+ AV Line Managed Switch

Netgear M4250 series 24-port PoE+ + 4-port SFP managed switch — built for AV/IP and surveillance deployments with deep multicast and QoS profile support.

Deployment context

Mid-commercial surveillance with multicast NVR streams, AV-IP convergence (intercom + cameras + paging on shared infrastructure), education and institutional deployments needing strong multicast handling.

Port count & PoE budget

24× Gigabit PoE+ ports (30W each) + 4× SFP fiber uplinks. Total PoE budget 480W (configurable PoE allocation). High per-port budget suits PTZ and multi-sensor cameras pulling 25-30W each.

VLAN & management capabilities

Full 802.1Q VLAN, M4250 NSDP management, Engage Cloud or NETGEAR Insight Pro management. Strong IGMP v2/v3 multicast support — important for VMS multicast streams. 802.1X, RADIUS, sFlow.

Surveillance infrastructure implications

Built-in profile templates for AV-IP, surveillance, and broadcast modes — applies multicast/QoS settings automatically. Pairs well with Milestone XProtect, Genetec, and Hanwha Wave for multicast camera distribution.

Thermal / rack / power considerations

1U rack-mount, fan-cooled. Operating 0-50°C. ~50W idle / 580W max with full PoE load.

Commonly paired surveillance hardware

Hanwha XRN-3210B2 NVR · Hanwha or Axis PTZ + multi-sensor cameras requiring high per-port PoE · APC Smart-UPS SRT 3000VA · fiber uplink to core via SFP
