If you have a switch you really like but it doesn't have PoE, I can highly recommend one of these:

To improve our evolving museum network, we can use the following:
- Fanless rack-mount switch. Martin recommended the Juniper EX2200 or a
fanless version of the Cisco 3010. He said the Cisco 2960 series also has fanless versions, but they sacrifice PoE which we need for security cameras. We could get by with 12 ports but 24 would be ideal

I unfortunately don't have any to donate, but I'll vouch for them working nicely with 802.11af cameras.
You shouldn't need more than 100 Mbps for IP cameras (truthfully, they seldom even saturate 10 Mbps); these work great with 100 Mbps switches. I have some spare rack mount 100 Mbps switches (including at least one fanless one, and non-fanless ones with slots for gigabit uplink) that I can bring to Festivus.
If you're looking for a GREAT cheap fanless 100 Mbps switch with built-in gigabit uplink ports (semi-managed, even, in case you want to set up VLANs), I highly recommend the Netgear FS750T2, which can be found on eBay for pretty good prices. Note that these are EOL and probably have some security vulnerabilities, so you wouldn't want to expose them to the outside world (and might want to be choosy about who you expose them to at all).
