Hikvision DS-3E1326P-EI/M Smart Managed 24-Port PoE Switch

The Hikvision DS-3E1326P-EI/M Smart Managed PoE Switch is a high-capacity networking device designed for large CCTV surveillance systems, IP camera installations, video intercoms, and access control networks in Kenya. It is engineered to deliver both Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Fast Ethernet data transmission through a single cable, enabling efficient deployment of multiple security devices while reducing installation complexity, power cabling requirements, and overall system cost. It is commonly used in commercial buildings, institutions, and enterprise environments where centralized and stable network distribution is required.

The switch features 24 Fast Ethernet PoE ports and 2 Gigabit uplink ports (1 Gigabit RJ45 and 1 Gigabit combo port), providing reliable connectivity for multiple IP devices and a strong backbone link to NVRs or core network infrastructure. It supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards, making it compatible with most Hikvision and third-party IP cameras. With a total PoE power budget of up to 230W (some variants up to 370W depending on configuration), it can support many devices simultaneously while maintaining stable network performance.

The DS-3E1326P-EI/M includes advanced smart management features such as PoE watchdog, VLAN segmentation, loop prevention (STP/RSTP), port isolation, QoS traffic prioritization, cable diagnostics, link aggregation support, 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 streaming even in large and demanding surveillance environments.

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