@DustinB3403 actually Netgear makes some seriously good stuff. Its our main go to for switching. A big networking lab in NYC has to use it because it outperforms nearly everything.

I've been very happy with the HP switches I've had here for the past 10 years. I replaced them with UBNT mostly because they were cheaper than the HPs I was looking at at the time.

I'm another one in the not afraid to use HP camp. I do want to try out a UBNT switch though.

Trying to select a switch for the Stores.
Find one then change my mind, look for something else and think "do I really need this advanced"??Requirements are:-
Web Managed
24port
Non-PoE and PoE Version
Layer 3 lite/Layer2+ is a bonus (so I can do some simple routing)Keep going from
Ubiquiti 24 Lite (£160 ish)
HP Office Connect 1920 (£120 ish)
Netgear GS724Tv4 (£106 ish)So HP is the one that I'd skip here. Not that it is bad, but I at least prefer the other two.
Ubiquiti is not just web managed, but can be connected to UNMS. That's a huge deal. And it is free.
Netgear has a line that can do the same thing, but you pay a small fee to do it.
In both cases, this is probably something that you really want and will be sorry if you don't get it.

I would never buy something today that does not report back to a controller.

On the other side, I have had nothing but issues with Netgear switches over the years.

I am looking into setting up OCR search with NC. Anyone do that in NC 15?

I don't use OCR anywhere.

I'm using the Full Text Search... That's not what you're talking about is it?
(Edit: Yes, I know what OCR stands for).

@dafyre that's what I am talking about

FTS and OCR are totally different things. One is searching text, one is optical recognition of hand written or photographic text being turned into text.

I have no need for OCR. We are paperless, have been for a LONG time. We don't need to scan photographs for text.

I want both

To get the FTS, you need to install ElasticSearch and the associated NC plugins... I haven't installed OCR on mine.
-
I've already done that, but it does nothing
-
I just need to figure out how to configure it properly I think

@DustinB3403 @scottalanmiller
Yeah I've had nothing but good things with Netgear and is my "normal" go to switch. I've used a few HP and they work
@JaredBusch @scottalanmiller with regards to "talking to a controller". I do have a UNMS server running with 2 EdgeSwitches running, one under my desk and one in a store. Apart from setting them up I've not signed in to do anything. So I'm thinking a basic switch that I can ping to make sure it's still running with zabbix will do
but I am tempted to just use the EdgeSwitches lites for the stores. -

Speaking of... Port 2 is one of my UAP-AC-LITE.
Port 3 is the uplink to my office switch.
All this traffic is coming from a single WyzeCam with the DaFang firmware talking to ZoneMinder.
