I've got a Birddog PTZ and a Canon PTZ and a Skaarhoj controller connected to a Tricaster via a Netgear 4250, using static IP's. I want to take the cameras and controller to remote locations to use with vMix on a laptop. I'm looking for suggestions of a Poe switch cheaper than the 4250 and the settings to make it work, without having to change the cameras' IP addresses. Just connecting everything through a normal gigabit PoE switch doesn't work. I'm not a network person but can get some help if need be.

If you have static IP's you just need the same subnet on the router. Take a PoE switch with enough PoE budget and wattage to drive the gear.
Just a PoE switch won't work. You need a router to route the packets accordingly. You can also mix static IP and dynamic IP but you have to exclude the static IPs from the dynamic. Usually one starts at one end like x.x.x.1 for the router. x.x.x.2 - x.x.x.20 for your static gear and from x.x.x.21 you allow dynamic addresses.
Netgear also has cheaper PoE switches. Make sure the switch has the switching capacity. An 8 port 1G switch should have the switching capacity of 16 Gbps to allow full duplex on all ports. For Routers take a look at Mikrotik. Cool features and power for little money.
