They sound good. I like the fact they are specifically designed for security as this could be used as a differentiator when bidding for projects.

@Brian. Do they have sticky MAC enabled by default for security devices?

I will ask for clarification on the sticky MAC, good question.

I have ordered a 24 Port for testing purposes at our facility and will provide additional feedback once it is installed.

You can review Vivocam Switch by Vivotek. I think they have more advanced features.

Update: D-Link issued a new press release about their "surveillance mode interface" switches. I am not clear what is new here. Karas?

I saw their release as well and it looks as if they are just trying to re-promote existing features/capabilities. I am planning to stop by their booth for a quick chat to see if there are truly new features/enhancements, but not expecting anything substantial.
