It looks like a Microsens build to me, something about the reset button and port layout. I have no other useful input, but I am curious who the OEM is. As much as I like Axis built products, some of their OEM "accessories", specifically the Camera Installer Config Tool, have been dreadful.

You can find the same OEM switch supplied by Vivotek, Airlive etc. The user interface seems to be identical apart from colour scheme, logos & icons etc.

This looks exactly the same as the Vivotek one which I saw 18 months ago at ISC West.

It looks identical to Vivotek's switch in regards to layout and features... Probably OEM'd by the same manufacturer. We use Ubiquiti Unifi switches great price, great quality.

I wonder what are the other technical details about this switch. Does ports share a common buffer? Qos Queues? Latency per port....
