Product Usage: The Backbone of Mid-Sized CCTV
This switch is engineered for installations that require more than a basic "plug-and-play" experience, providing tools that make long-term maintenance much easier.
- Office & Warehouse Surveillance: Power up to 16 IP cameras. With its 130W power budget, it can easily support a mix of standard fixed cameras and those with high-intensity IR for night vision.
- Long-Distance Perimeter Security: The 300-meter Long-Range mode allows you to install cameras at the far corners of a large warehouse or parking lot without needing additional signal boosters or mid-span power.
- App-Based Management: Unlike unmanaged switches, this model connects to Hik-Partner Pro. If a camera fails, you get a real-time notification on your phone, allowing you to troubleshoot before the client even notices.
Key Benefits for IT Managers & Installers
- Self-Healing (PoE Watchdog): The switch detects when a camera has frozen or become unresponsive and automatically "reboots" it by cutting and restoring power to that specific port. This reduces "downtime" and saves on site visits.
- Visualized Network Topology: Access a graphical map of your network through Hikvision software. This allows you to monitor the "health" of every connection and see exactly which port is experiencing issues.
- 6 kV Surge Protection: Built specifically for regions with unstable power or high lightning risk. This internal protection shields your switch and the expensive cameras connected to it from electrical surges.
- Gigabit & Fiber Uplinks: The dual Gigabit uplinks provide a high-speed path to your NVR. The SFP combo port allows you to use fiber optics for distances up to several kilometers with zero signal degradation.
- Rack-Mountable Design: Comes with mounting ears, making it easy to install in a standard 19-inch server rack for a neat and professional finish.
