The switch features 16 × 10/100 Mbps PoE ports and 2 × Gigabit combo ports, providing flexible connectivity for surveillance networks. With a total PoE power budget of up to 230W, it is suitable for installations requiring multiple compatible PoE-powered devices while maintaining reliable uplink connectivity to other network equipment.

Hikvision DS-3E1318P-EI O-STD Smart PoE Switch Features

This Smart PoE Switch is designed around the requirements of professional IP surveillance systems. The sixteen Fast Ethernet PoE ports provide convenient connections for compatible IP cameras, while the Gigabit combo ports provide flexible uplink options for integration with NVRs, routers, switches, and other compatible networking equipment.

16 Fast Ethernet PoE Ports

The switch provides 16 × 10/100 Mbps PoE Ethernet ports, making it a practical choice for medium-sized surveillance networks. Power over Ethernet technology allows compatible devices to receive electrical power and network data through Ethernet cabling, reducing the need for separate power connections at every camera location.

This can make CCTV installation more efficient, particularly in warehouses, offices, shops, schools, residential buildings, and other locations where multiple cameras need to be installed across a wide area.

2 Gigabit Combo Ports

Two Gigabit combo ports provide additional flexibility when connecting the switch to the wider network infrastructure. These high-speed connections are useful for uplink requirements where traffic from multiple connected surveillance devices needs to communicate with recording or network equipment.

This combination of multiple PoE access ports and Gigabit uplink connectivity provides a practical architecture for professional IP camera installations.

230W Total PoE Power Budget

A major advantage of the switch is its total PoE power budget of up to 230W. This provides centralized power distribution for multiple compatible PoE devices and helps installers build organized surveillance systems without relying on separate local power adapters for every connected camera.

Before installation, the power requirements of each connected device should be checked to ensure that total consumption remains within the available PoE power budget.

PoE Watchdog for Better Reliability

Hikvision DS-3E1318P-EI O-STD supports PoE watchdog functionality, which is particularly useful in CCTV surveillance environments. The function can help detect compatible connected cameras that become unresponsive and assist with restarting the affected PoE connection.

This can reduce manual maintenance requirements, especially when cameras are mounted in difficult-to-access locations. For businesses and professional installers, intelligent PoE management can contribute to easier network maintenance and more reliable surveillance operation.

802.1Q VLAN Support

The switch supports 802.1Q VLAN functionality for improved network organization. VLAN technology can help administrators structure network traffic and create a more manageable surveillance infrastructure, particularly when multiple cameras and networking devices are operating within the same environment.

This capability is valuable for professional installations where efficient network management, troubleshooting, and future expansion are important considerations.

Professional CCTV Applications

With sixteen PoE ports, the switch is suitable for a wide range of surveillance projects. It can be deployed in offices, warehouses, retail stores, educational facilities, residential buildings, clinics, and other business environments requiring multiple IP camera connections.

The switch can be used when building a new CCTV system or expanding an existing surveillance network. Its combination of PoE connectivity, smart management functions, and flexible uplink options makes it suitable for professional system integrators and installers.

Simple and Organized Network Deployment

Centralized PoE connectivity can simplify both installation and maintenance. Compatible cameras can receive power and network data through Ethernet cabling, helping reduce unnecessary wiring while keeping network connections organized in one location.

The smart features also make the switch a practical solution for businesses that need more than basic unmanaged connectivity. It provides surveillance-oriented functionality designed to support a structured and manageable CCTV network.
