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 solution designed for large CCTV systems, IP surveillance installations, video intercoms, and access control systems in Kenya. It is built to provide both Power over Ethernet (PoE) and high-speed Fast Ethernet data transmission through a single cable, enabling efficient deployment of multiple IP devices while reducing installation complexity, power cabling, and overall system cost. It is commonly used in commercial buildings, institutions, and enterprise security environments requiring centralized and stable network distribution.

The switch features 24 Fast Ethernet PoE ports and 2 Gigabit uplink ports (1 Gigabit RJ45 and 1 Gigabit combo port), allowing seamless connection of multiple surveillance devices while maintaining a stable backbone link to NVRs or core network infrastructure. It supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards, making it compatible with a wide range of IP cameras and security devices. With a total PoE power budget of up to 230W, it is capable of powering many devices simultaneously while ensuring consistent network performance across all ports.

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, and long-distance transmission mode up to 300 meters. These features enhance system reliability by automatically recovering unresponsive cameras, reducing network faults, and improving video transmission stability in 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 allowing advanced configuration through Hikvision management tools, making it suitable for both standard and structured security network designs.
