Recommendation for switch with PoE (no rack) in Europe

I plan to upgrade my configuration in home garage to:

router
2 ports:
WAN + ethernet cable to switch.

switch

attached to wall

minimum number of ports
8x PoE cat. 6 shielded + 1x cat. 6 (or higher) shielded to router VyOS + 3x cat. 5e not shielded

Not sure which type of PoE I need (PoE / PoE+ / PoE++ / High Power PoE). I plan to use it at least for high quality resolutions cameras to recognize faces etc. Which one I need to be sure I will run any camera? Can someone provide examples for of devices for each PoE? I know this is abstraction, but it will give me some overview what I can need.

Do you recommend any brand / model? Something what you don’t recommend? Perhaps I should buy 2 switches?

plans

I have plan to:

  • PoE 4x cameras + 1x possibly the best camera to detect faces, objects in area etc
  • smoke / fire detector + maybe small switch powered by PoE on the same cable
  • 2x wi-fi AP (maybe I will use cat. 5e not shielded for this, because of the location in house)
  • who knows what else.

For cameras I plan to use Synology NAS or similar solution. Cameras will not have face recognition implemented. Server will process images from camera and detect faces, movement in area, objects.
