    Recommendations will depend on which access points you're planning on using.
    There are standards 802.3af and 802.3at to support POE at up to gigabit speeds,
    but there are other proprietary 'passive' switches that will work with some brands and not with others.
    Some brands allow you to use a POE injector which creates a lot more cabling mess, but at least it's all in the cabinet.

    You won't need (or want) POE on the ports that are going to your TV for example.
    A POE switch with sensing is not cheap so keep the number of ports down to close to what you need.
    A lot of the simpler ones might have 4 POE ports and 4 unpowered or some other split.

    What's the total number of points around the house?
    Add a few for a storage device in the cabinet or anything else that can be kept out of sight.

    Will do a total count again (but it's high, easily over 24) but in terms of POE devices I was thinking a few access points (maybe 3) and 2 cameras. So 5 to 6 powered connections and a heap of non powered ones.

    Daisy chain two switches? POE and non POE, both unmanaged??

    CCTV POE requirements could be covered if you're going the NVR route
