How many PoE devices can the SWM282 power simultaneously?
The SWM282 has a total PoE budget of 300 W across all 24 ports. Each port supports up to 30 W, so the number of simultaneous devices depends on their individual power draw. For example, 24 cameras drawing 10 W each would use 240 W — well within budget.
Does it support VLAN for separating camera traffic from office traffic?
Yes. The SWM282 supports full 802.1Q VLAN configuration, allowing you to isolate surveillance, corporate and guest traffic on separate logical networks — a best practice for any security installation.
What is RMS and do I need a subscription?
RMS (Remote Management System) is Teltonika's cloud platform for remote monitoring, configuration and diagnostics. The SWM282 includes 2 years of RMS access at no additional cost. After the included period, an annual subscription is available directly from Teltonika.
Can I manage the SWM282 without RMS — via local Web UI or CLI?
Absolutely. The SWM282 supports full local management via a browser-based Web UI and command-line interface (CLI), giving you complete control without requiring cloud connectivity.
Is this switch suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?
The SWM282 is designed for indoor rack-mount installation. For outdoor or harsh-environment deployments, consider pairing it with appropriate weatherproof enclosures or explore Teltonika's ruggedised switch range.
Will the SWM282 work with Hikvision, Dahua or Uniview IP cameras?
Yes. The SWM282 is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3af/at PoE cameras from Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, Tiandy and other major IP surveillance brands.
Does it support link aggregation (LACP)?
Please refer to the official SWM282 datasheet or Teltonika's wiki for the full feature list, as firmware capabilities may be updated over time.
What is the difference between L2 and L3 on this switch?
L2 features handle switching within the same network (VLANs, STP, QoS), while L3 features enable routing between different subnets. The SWM282 supports L3 static routing, making it suitable for inter-VLAN routing without a separate router in many deployments.
