IDIS DH-2212PF — 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Network Switch with 2 × SFP Fibre Uplinks (DirectIP®)
The IDIS DH-2212PF is the purpose-built network switch for DirectIP® surveillance — engineered to expand an IDIS NVR (such as the DR-2516P-A) beyond its built-in PoE port count, deliver full Gigabit performance to every camera, and keep the entire system on a single, NDAA-compliant Korean-manufactured ecosystem. Twelve total ports — 8 × Gigabit PoE+ service ports, 2 × Gigabit RJ45 uplinks and 2 × SFP fibre slots — give Australian integrators the flexibility to deploy across copper or fibre infrastructure on a single 1RU rack appliance.
With a 140 W PoE budget, 24 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity and fanless silent operation, the DH-2212PF handles everything from IDIS Lite Series 5MP turrets and motorised varifocal cameras to higher-power PTZ and AI-edge models. It's the recommended PoE expansion for the DR-2516P-A and any other IDIS NVR running 9+ cameras — and the cleanest way to keep your install single-brand, single-warranty and single-procurement-line.

Why Pair Your IDIS NVR with the DH-2212PF
The DR-2516P-A NVR ships with 8 built-in PoE ports — perfect for the first half of a 16-channel install, but you'll need an external switch for cameras 9-16. Many integrators reach for a generic Hikvision, Dahua or no-name PoE switch at this point — and immediately compromise the entire site's NDAA compliance posture, voiding the very value the IDIS recorder was specified for. The DH-2212PF keeps your CCTV stack single-brand, single-warranty, and Five Eyes-aligned end-to-end.
True Gigabit on Every Port
All 8 PoE service ports are full 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit — handle the highest-bitrate IDIS 4K and 12 MP cameras without bandwidth bottlenecks.
140 W PoE+ Budget
IEEE 802.3at Class 4 (30 W max per port) — comfortably powers 8 × IDIS Lite turrets, motorised varifocal cameras or PTZ-light models on a single uplink.
Fibre Uplink Ready
Two SFP 1000BASE-X slots support fibre uplinks for long building-to-building runs, electrical isolation in noisy environments and future-proof network expansion.
Fanless = Silent & Reliable
No moving parts means no fan failure, no dust ingress, no noise — deploy in client-facing reception areas, school staff rooms or hospital server cabinets without acoustic issues.
DirectIP® Optimised
Engineered with individual port-to-NVR data isolation — keeps camera traffic clean and separated, making it the smoothest possible pairing with any IDIS DirectIP® NVR.
NDAA & TAA Compliant
Korea-manufactured by IDIS with no Chinese state-owned-enterprise components — the same compliance pedigree as your IDIS cameras and NVR.
Pro Tip — Two Ways to Wire 16 Cameras to a DR-2516P-A
Option A — Split (Most Common)
Cameras 1-8 plug into the NVR's built-in PoE ports (Fast Ethernet). Cameras 9-16 plug into the DH-2212PF, which uplinks via Gigabit RJ45 to the NVR's "Ext" port. Lowest total cost.
Option B — All-Gigabit (Pro Setup)
All 16 cameras connect to two DH-2212PF switches (or one DH-2018P), uplinking to the NVR via Gigabit. Bypasses the NVR's Fast Ethernet PoE ports. Recommended for 4K/12 MP heavy fleets where consistent Gigabit per camera matters.
Compatible IDIS Network Recorders
The DH-2212PF works as a PoE expansion switch alongside the full IDIS DirectIP® NVR range — including:
DR-2500 Series
DR-2508P-A · DR-2516P-A · and the wider 2500 family — perfect pairing for retail, education and clinic installs.
DR-3000 Series
DR-3516P · entry-level non-PoE NVRs that need a full PoE switch to drive every camera.
DR-6000 & DR-8000 Series
Enterprise DR-6532P-A, DR-8532D, DR-8564D — adds PoE capacity where the NVR itself has limited or zero built-in PoE.
All IDIS DirectIP® Cameras
Powers the IDIS Lite Series (DC-D2511WER-V2, DC-D2531WER-V2, DC-T2531WR-V2), professional 4-Series and edge-AI cameras up to PoE+ class.
Built for Australian Sites
Deployed across Australian retail chains (multi-store rollouts where compliance is centrally specified), government and council facilities (NDAA-required tenders), schools and universities (rack-mounted in MDF/IDF rooms), medical clinics and aged care (silent fanless operation for client-facing zones), warehouses and logistics (SFP fibre runs across large-footprint sites) and banking and gaming (full Gigabit for forensic 4K capture).

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the DH-2212PF power 8 IDIS cameras?
Yes. Most IDIS Lite Series and 4-Series cameras draw 6-12 W each. The 140 W PoE budget easily handles 8 × cameras at full load with significant headroom.
Is it the right switch for the DR-2516P-A NVR?
Yes — it's the recommended add-on. The DR-2516P-A has 8 built-in PoE ports; the DH-2212PF adds another 8 Gigabit PoE+ ports for a full 16-camera install on a single Korean-manufactured ecosystem.
Is it managed or unmanaged?
The DH-2212PF is an unmanaged plug-and-play switch with DirectIP®-optimised data isolation — no configuration required. For managed VLAN/QoS environments, contact us about IDIS' enterprise-tier alternatives.
Can I use SFP fibre uplinks?
Yes — 2 × SFP 1000BASE-X slots support standard single-mode or multi-mode SFP modules for long-distance fibre uplinks to your core switch or remote NVR.
What about PoE+ Class 4 cameras (PTZ)?
Each port supports up to 30 W PoE+ (802.3at Class 4). Total budget is 140 W — so up to 4 high-power PTZ cameras simultaneously, or any mix of PoE+ and PoE cameras within the budget.
Does it work with non-IDIS cameras?
Yes — it's a standards-compliant 802.3af/at PoE switch, so any ONVIF or third-party PoE camera works fine. We recommend pairing with IDIS for best DirectIP® plug-and-play.
Is it NDAA compliant?
Made in Korea by IDIS, the DH-2212PF aligns with the rest of the IDIS NDAA-compliant ecosystem — keeping your full surveillance stack tender-ready.
Can I rack mount it?
Yes — 1RU form factor with standard 19" rack ears (optional kit). Or desktop-mount on a shelf in MDF/IDF rooms.
Is it noisy?
No — completely fanless. Silent for client-facing reception, retail back-of-house, school staff rooms, dental clinics and aged-care server cabinets.
Australian warranty?
Yes — IDIS Ultimate Warranty applies on every unit sold by CCTV Guru, with local Australian-based technical support and RMA handling.
