is there a smart switch can provide Poe and Poe+?or should be a managed switch only
Vendors For Smart Poe+ Switches?
I did a minute worth of Google a found this: LGS308P 8-PORT BUSINESS SMART GIGABIT POE+ SWITCH
I'm sure there are others. There's no practical limitation of 'how managed' a switch is and what kind of PoE rating it outputs.
Linksys has a UI emulator to allow you to see what the interface is like and what you can do:

I have used linksys, netgear, dlink, dell, & lots of other brands. There are tons of smart PoE switches that provide some management capabilities, not just a dumb switch. Very much recommended vs. just a dumb switch while being cost effective.
I have not seen many PoE+ smart switches.
Hi Tarek
PoE technology standard process allow the device to check PD power level, and then
PSE(power source equipment) provide suitable power to PD(powered device). Thus all Standard PoE switch can meet your request I think.
We provide PoE OEM/ODM to some brand companies.

there are a ton of them, TrendNET has pretty reasonably priced ones and are easy to use.
TP link
Cisco
HP
etc etc.
just watch the power budget number even if you get a Switch that supports PoE it may only push 4-5 cameras with a 140watt supply.
they always skimp on budgets for some reason.
some of the worst ones are the 48-port PoE+/PoE switches that have a 180Watt power supply for all 48-ports.
IFS has a full line of POE Switches.

Keep in mind full power budget of a switch when evaluating and not just price. Lower cost switches will sometimes have a maximum power budget that can be lower than needed. Some may be a 24 port switch but do not provide a power budget that can handle 24 cameras.
I like trendnet gigabit unmanaged , and tp link
they work just fine.
I also use over powered switches. found in the long run , it pays for itself
only gigabit switchs. , never the eco type as they scale down to save power
Full power @ 80% max usage leave s room for upgrades and changes
We have used a ton of tp link switches without much issue. A few lost poe on a port and had to be replaced but no biggie
We just started using Ubiquiti per customer requirement and a nice feature is they can run no poe, 24v or 48v per port and ping an ip and reboot if necessary.
