But prices have shot up. The switch I bought last year is around 20 to 30% more expensive this year.

Just ordered 6 Reolink cameras, they have extra discount today. Total worked out to just under R4k. Hope shipping does not take too long.
I want to power them with 2x of these Tenda routers, one on each side of the house to limit the amount of wiring.

Is there a significant advantage going with a AI POE switch? Do these cameras freeze up from time to time?

Either that or it can auto sense the type of Poe protocol thats needed and use the correct one
Each of the PoE ports is IEE803.3af/at compliant which enables them to auto-detect and identify whether the connected device is compatible and requires power. Total maximum PoE budget is 60W and the maximum budget per port is 36W.
The SPS-4G2G supports 4 working modes:
VLAN (Port Isolation): Enables Port Isolation on Port 1-4.
AI Extend Mode: Transmission distance of ports 1-4 can be increased to up to 250 meters at 10Mbps using Cat6 solid copper cable.
AI PoE: Automatically restarts a PoE powered device if no data passes through the port for a set time.
AI QOS: Priorities network bandwidth based on network usage history & analytics.

Yeah, but for these cameras that shouldn't be an issue. My whole network is only up to 100 Mbps anyway.

True cameras don't need more than 100mbs
