Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI/M Smart Managed 24-Port Gigabit PoE Switch

The Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI/M Smart Managed PoE Switch is a high-capacity networking solution designed for large CCTV systems, IP surveillance installations, access control networks, and enterprise security deployments in Kenya. It is built to deliver both Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Gigabit data transmission through a single Ethernet cable, allowing efficient installation of multiple IP cameras, intercom systems, and security devices while reducing wiring complexity and installation costs.

This model features 24 Gigabit PoE ports and 2 Gigabit uplink ports (RJ45 and fiber SFP), providing strong network flexibility for large-scale surveillance systems that require stable backbone connectivity and long-distance transmission. It supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Hikvision and third-party IP devices. With a total PoE power budget of up to 230W (and up to 370W depending on variant), it can reliably support multiple devices simultaneously while maintaining stable network performance.

The DS-3E1526P-EI/M includes advanced smart management features such as PoE watchdog, VLAN segmentation, loop prevention (STP/RSTP), port isolation, QoS traffic control, link aggregation, cable diagnostics, and long-distance transmission mode up to 300 meters. These features improve system reliability by automatically restarting unresponsive cameras, isolating network faults, and optimizing bandwidth for smooth video streaming 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 use while also allowing advanced configuration through Hikvision management platforms, making it suitable for both simple and enterprise-level CCTV networks.
