Hikvision DS-3E1318P-EI/M Smart Managed 16-Port PoE Switch

The Hikvision DS-3E1318P-EI/M Smart Managed PoE Switch is a professional-grade networking device designed for medium to large CCTV systems, IP surveillance networks, video intercoms, and access control installations in Kenya. It is built to provide both Power over Ethernet (PoE) and high-speed data transmission through a single Ethernet cable, enabling efficient deployment of multiple IP devices while reducing installation complexity, cabling costs, and power distribution requirements.

This switch features 16 Fast Ethernet PoE ports, 1 Gigabit RJ45 port, and 1 Gigabit combo uplink port, making it suitable for structured surveillance networks that require stable camera connectivity and a strong backbone link to NVRs or core network systems. It supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of IP cameras and security devices. With a total PoE power budget of up to 130W (and up to 230W depending on variant), it can support multiple devices simultaneously while maintaining stable and efficient network performance.

The DS-3E1318P-EI/M includes advanced smart management features such as PoE watchdog, VLAN segmentation, loop prevention (STP/RSTP), port isolation, QoS traffic control, cable diagnostics, and long-distance transmission mode up to 300 meters. These functions improve system reliability by automatically restarting unresponsive cameras, isolating network faults, and ensuring smooth video transmission even in demanding surveillance environments.

Built with a durable rack-mount metal housing, the switch is designed for professional installation in network cabinets and server rooms. It supports plug-and-play deployment for basic operation, while also offering advanced configuration options through Hikvision management platforms for scalable and structured CCTV systems.
