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

The Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI Smart Managed PoE Switch is a high-capacity networking solution designed for large-scale CCTV surveillance systems, IP camera installations, video intercoms, and access control networks in Kenya. It is engineered to provide both Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Gigabit data transmission through a single Ethernet cable, making it efficient for powering multiple devices while simplifying installation, reducing cabling costs, and improving overall network organization in professional security environments.

This switch features 24 Gigabit PoE ports and 2 Gigabit uplink ports (1 RJ45 and 1 fiber SFP port), allowing stable high-speed connectivity between multiple IP devices and core systems such as NVRs or backbone networks. It supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of IP surveillance devices. With a total PoE power budget of up to 370W, it can reliably support many cameras and devices operating simultaneously without compromising performance.

The DS-3E1526P-EI includes advanced smart management capabilities that enhance control, monitoring, and system reliability. These include PoE watchdog for automatic camera recovery, VLAN segmentation for network isolation, loop prevention (STP/RSTP), port isolation, QoS traffic prioritization, link aggregation, cable diagnostics, and long-distance transmission mode up to 300 meters. It also supports real-time network monitoring and topology visualization, making it easier to manage and troubleshoot large CCTV installations.

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