Enterprise Network Optimization for High-Density IP Surveillance
The IDIS DH-2018P is a high-performance, commercial-grade 18-port PoE network switch specifically engineered for seamless integration with enterprise DirectIP surveillance ecosystems. Tailored to reduce configuration complexity while eliminating common network bottlenecks, this unit handles continuous high-bandwidth IP video traffic with ease. Its plug-and-play architecture allows installers to build out clean, structured topologies ideal for retail, multi-site corporate offices, and medium-scale industrial environments requiring absolute data integrity and localized power management.

Advanced DirectIP Protocol Routing & High Power Delivery
The engineering inside the IDIS DH-2018P facilitates proprietary individual port data transmission directly to your DirectIP NVR, streamlining security provisioning without manual IP configurations. Accommodating both IEEE 802.3af and high-power IEEE 802.3at standards, it enables deployment of up to 4 heavy-duty pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras at 30W apiece, or up to 16 fixed cameras simultaneously under its robust 140W power envelope. Network traffic is optimized dynamically via built-in memory mapping, reducing frame drops and jitter during intensive security streaming events.
Centralized Smart Power Allocation
Equipped with smart power auditing, this infrastructure switch ensures continuous execution under heavy network strain. Central power control utility guarantees that voltage spikes or individual port errors are automatically isolated, maintaining stable operation across your remaining mission-critical video streams without causing system-wide network dropped loops.
Dual Gigabit Uplink Capabilities
Eliminate bandwidth starvation at the collection core. Dual 10/100/1000BASE-T copper uplink ports provide ample backhaul overhead directly to core switches, remote monitoring servers, or standalone storage units, keeping local 10/100 downlinks isolated for uncompromised camera streaming performance.

Can I run dual-motorized PTZ cameras alongside fixed domes on this switch?
Yes. The switch features full compliance with IEEE 802.3at high power modes, allocating up to 30W on single ports as long as the aggregate load across all 1-16 active connection drops remains inside the 140-watt overall ceiling.
What distance is supported between the switch and an IP camera?
The DH-2018P supports standard Ethernet cabling lengths up to 100 meters (approx. 328 feet) via Cat5e or Cat6 lines for solid signal transmission and uninterrupted PoE supply.
Is a mounting kit included for server cabinet placement?
The physical footprint of the chassis matches standard 1U structural dimensions (17-inch width frame). Standard rackmount ears are supported for regular data center, security closet, or server rack integrations.
Does this switch require extensive manual network configuration out of the box?
No. When paired natively with an IDIS DirectIP NVR, individual port data transmission paths optimize automatically, circumventing standard manual subnet mapping and complex virtual routing definitions entirely.
