Hikvision DS-3E1518P-EI 16 Port Gigabit Smart POE Switch

Hikvision DS-3E1518P-EI Gigabit Smart PoE Switch

The Hikvision DS-3E1518P-EI provides high-speed Ethernet connectivity and centralized Power over Ethernet distribution for professional networking installations. Unlike conventional unmanaged switches, it offers smart management capabilities that help network administrators monitor connected devices and configure supported networking functions.

Consequently, it is suitable for surveillance systems requiring reliable camera connectivity and improved network control.

16 Gigabit PoE Ports for IP Cameras

The switch features 16 × 10/100/1000Mbps PoE Ethernet ports for connecting compatible IP cameras, wireless access points and other networking devices. Gigabit Ethernet provides higher bandwidth than traditional Fast Ethernet connections. Therefore, the switch can accommodate demanding surveillance networks with multiple high-resolution cameras.

230W PoE Power Budget

The Hikvision DS-3E1518P-EI supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet standards. Its 230W total PoE budget allows multiple compatible devices to receive electrical power and network data through Ethernet cabling.

Each PoE port supports up to 30W, subject to the total available budget. As a result, installers should calculate the combined power requirements before connecting all devices.

Gigabit RJ45 and SFP Uplinks

The switch includes a Gigabit RJ45 uplink and a Gigabit SFP fibre-optic uplink. The RJ45 interface enables connection to compatible NVRs, routers and other network switches. Meanwhile, the SFP interface supports fibre connectivity using an appropriate transceiver. This provides flexibility when integrating CCTV systems into existing business networks.

Smart Network Management

The DS-3E1518P-EI supports web-based management and compatible Hikvision management tools. Administrators can monitor network connections, configure supported functions and troubleshoot connectivity issues. Furthermore, smart management helps simplify maintenance in commercial surveillance installations.

Intelligent PoE Watchdog

The PoE watchdog feature monitors supported connected devices and can automatically restart PoE power when certain cameras become unresponsive. Consequently, this functionality can reduce the need for manual camera power cycling.

VLAN and Port Isolation

The switch supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN configuration and port isolation. These features help administrators organize network traffic and restrict unnecessary communication between selected ports. Additionally, STP and RSTP help prevent network loops that could otherwise affect connectivity.

Extended PoE Transmission

The Hikvision DS-3E1518P-EI supports long-range PoE transmission of up to 300 metres under suitable conditions. This is useful when installing compatible surveillance cameras farther from the central network cabinet. However, extended transmission depends on cable quality and operating conditions, and may reduce data speeds.

6kV Surge Protection

The switch incorporates 6kV surge protection to improve resistance to electrical disturbances affecting network connections. Nevertheless, appropriate grounding and additional protection remain important for exposed or outdoor cable installations.

Professional Rack Mountable Design

Its metal enclosure and rack mountable construction make the switch suitable for equipment rooms, network cabinets and CCTV installations. Furthermore, its combination of Gigabit connectivity, PoE power and smart management makes it practical for commercial and institutional networks.
