Buying the proper switch for my home network (alien.top)

My wife and I are building a home and we ran ethernet to every room and a few camera locations outside. In total, there are 16 cat6 cables in our network hub and an additional cable coming from the Verizon ONT. The 3 cameras will be PoE as well. I found this switch on amazon that seems like it will do everything I need but want to confirm prior to purchasing. Is this a good buy or are there other brands I should be looking into?

I recommend a managed switch to place devices into VLANs (IoT, cameras, PCs, etc).

I use the TP-Link Omada infrastructure at home.

Another thumbs up for TP Link Omada.
