Hikvision DS-3E1526P-SI Smart Managed 24-Port Gigabit PoE Switch
The Hikvision DS-3E1526P-SI Smart Managed PoE Switch is a high-performance networking device 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 security devices while reducing installation complexity, cabling costs, and the need for separate power supplies. It is widely used in commercial buildings, institutions, industrial facilities, and enterprise security environments that require stable, centralized network management.
This switch features 24 Gigabit PoE ports and 2 Gigabit fiber uplink ports, enabling high-speed and reliable connectivity for multiple IP devices while maintaining a strong backbone connection to NVRs or core network infrastructure. It supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards, allowing it to power a wide range of IP cameras and network devices. With a total PoE power budget of up to 370W, it is suitable for demanding surveillance systems with many connected devices operating simultaneously.
The DS-3E1526P-SI includes advanced smart management features that improve control, monitoring, and reliability. These include PoE watchdog for automatic camera recovery, VLAN segmentation for traffic isolation, loop prevention (STP/RSTP), port isolation, QoS traffic prioritization, link aggregation, and long-distance transmission mode up to 300 meters. It also supports network topology visualization and real-time device monitoring, allowing easier management of large CCTV networks and faster troubleshooting.
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 operation for basic deployment while also offering advanced configuration tools for scalable and intelligent surveillance network management.
