Hikvision PoE Switch DS-3E1526P-EI/M

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

The Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI/M is a high-performance, smart managed PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch designed for professional surveillance and business networking. It provides 24 Gigabit PoE ports, allowing you to power and transmit data to a large fleet of IP cameras, VoIP phones, or Access Points over a single cable, all while offering advanced remote management features.

Product Usage: Professional Power & Control

This switch is a "Smart Managed" device, meaning it sits between a simple unmanaged switch and a complex enterprise layer-3 switch, giving you the best of both worlds.

1. Enterprise Surveillance: Power up to 24 high-definition IP cameras. Because it is a Gigabit switch, it can handle massive amounts of video data from 4K cameras without any network congestion.
2. Long-Distance Wiring: Using the Long-Range mode, you can install cameras up to 300 meters away from the switch. This is perfect for large warehouses, schools, or estates where cameras are far from the server room.
3. Unified Business Communication: Use it as the backbone for a corporate office to power PoE-enabled VoIP phones and Wi-Fi 6 Access Points, ensuring a clean installation with minimal power cables.

Key Benefits for Facility & IT Managers

1. Visualized Network Management: Through Hik-Partner Pro, you can see a "map" (topology) of your entire network. If a camera goes offline, you can see exactly where the break is from your smartphone or PC.
2. PoE Watchdog (Self-Healing): This smart feature constantly monitors connected devices. If an IP camera freezes or stops responding, the switch automatically cuts and restores power to that specific port to "reboot" the camera, saving you a manual site visit.
3. Superior Lightning Protection: With 6 kV surge protection, this switch is built for the Nigerian environment, protecting your expensive network infrastructure from electrical spikes during thunderstorms.
4. Flexible Fiber Uplink: The inclusion of an SFP Fiber port allows you to connect this switch to a main server room located kilometers away via fiber optic cable, ensuring zero signal loss over extreme distances.
5. Efficient Power Allocation: The 230W budget intelligently distributes power where it's needed most, supporting high-draw devices like PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras.

FEATURES OF HIKVISION DS-3E1526P-EI/M

1. 24 Gigabit PoE Ports: The switch provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, compliant with IEEE 802.3af/at standards.
