Hikvision Smart Managed · 16 PoE Ports · Fast Ethernet
Sixteen-Port Smart PoE Switching with Gigabit Combo Uplinks
The Hikvision DS-3E1318P-EI is a smart-managed PoE switch designed for medium surveillance installations that need high camera-port density and fast uplinks. It combines 16 × 10/100 Mbps PoE RJ45 ports with 2 × Gigabit SFP/RJ45 combo uplinks, creating a dependable power and data platform for Hikvision cameras, intercoms and compatible network devices.
Smart monitoring, PoE watchdog, VLAN support and cable diagnostics help installers manage network health and recover unresponsive devices. Long-range mode supports transmission up to 300 metres on compatible PoE links, while 6kV surge protection helps protect connected equipment from electrical transients.

Built for Reliable Surveillance Networks
Automatic PoE RecoveryPoE watchdog can restart an unresponsive connected camera or endpoint, helping reduce unnecessary site visits.
Fast Ethernet ConnectivitySixteen Fast Ethernet camera ports are paired with two Gigabit copper/fibre combo uplinks for flexible recorder or core-network connections.
Long-Range PoEExtended transmission supports suitable surveillance links up to 300 metres when used with compatible devices and quality cabling.
Smart ManagementNetwork topology, health monitoring, VLAN, loop prevention and cable diagnostics provide better control than an unmanaged switch.

Important Before You Buy
- Confirm the number of PoE devices and their combined power consumption before selecting the switch.
- Ports 1–16 are Fast Ethernet; choose the DS-3E1518P-EI when Gigabit speed is required on every PoE port.
- Long-range mode can reduce port speed and should be enabled only where additional cable distance is required.
- Use quality solid-copper network cable and appropriate surge protection for the installation environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many PoE devices can it connect?It provides 16 PoE ports. Actual capacity also depends on the total PoE power budget and each device's power draw.
Are the camera ports Gigabit?No. The 16 PoE ports are 10/100 Mbps; the two SFP/RJ45 combo uplinks are Gigabit.
What does PoE watchdog do?It can detect an unresponsive powered device and restart its PoE connection automatically.
When should I choose another model?Choose a nearby 4-, 8-, 16- or 24-port sibling when you need a different device count, PoE budget or network speed.
