Hikvision DS-3E1326P-EI 24-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Managed PoE Switch

The Hikvision DS-3E1326P-EI is a professional 24-port Fast Ethernet smart managed PoE network switch designed for security surveillance, enterprise offices, and IP camera networking. Delivering a high PoE power budget of 370 W, robust surge protection, and optimized data transmission parameters, it provides a stable and reliable network core.

Hikvision DS-3E1326P-EI 24-Port Smart Managed PoE Switch

This high-performance Layer 2 network switch features 24 PoE ports designed to power and connect IP cameras, access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE-enabled hardware. With a total PoE power budget of 370 W, it provides up to 30W of power per port under IEEE 802.3af/at standards.

The switch features robust 2 × Gigabit Combo ports (RJ45/SFP) uplink ports, allowing for high-bandwidth connections to local NVR storage, core switches, or internet routers. Engineered for demanding security workloads, it features a built-in PoE Watchdog that automatically detects and power-cycles unresponsive IP cameras. Housed in a durable rack-mountable metal chassis, it includes 6kV port surge protection to shield the network from electrical spikes.

Reliable Power & 370 W PoE Budget

With a total power capacity of 370 W, the switch provides consistent, regulated power across all connected PoE devices. The high-performance internal power supply ensures stable operation even under peak load conditions.

Integrated PoE Watchdog Technology

Features Hikvision's intelligent PoE Watchdog algorithm. The switch continuously polls connected IP cameras; if a camera stops responding or crashes, the switch automatically cycles the PoE power to that specific port, restarting the camera and restoring the video stream without requiring manual intervention.

High-Bandwidth Uplink Connectivity

Equipped with dedicated 2 × Gigabit Combo ports (RJ45/SFP) uplinks to ensure bottleneck-free video transmission. Gigabit SFP optical fiber and RJ45 ports provide long-distance and high-speed data backup runs directly to the local NVR or main network router.

Unified Cloud & Visualized Topology Management

Supports the Easy IP Smart Managed features. Operators can visualize the entire network topology, check port bandwidth, configure VLANs, and perform remote troubleshooting using Hik-Partner Pro or HikCentral software.

KEY BENEFITS

• High PoE budget of 370 W easily powers multiple high-definition IP cameras.
• Smart PoE negotiation ensures correct power class is delivered to each port.
• PoE Watchdog automatically restarts crashed cameras to maintain continuous recording.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the total PoE budget of the DS-3E1326P-EI?

The switch features a total PoE power budget of 370 W, allowing you to distribute power among all connected PoE devices.

What is the maximum power per port?

Each PoE port can deliver up to 30W of power under standard IEEE 802.3at, suitable for most IP security cameras, access points, and VoIP devices.

What does the PoE Watchdog feature do?

The PoE Watchdog automatically monitors the status of connected cameras. If a camera crashes and stops communicating, the switch power-cycles the port to restart the camera, minimizing network downtime.

Does this switch require software configuration?

No. It is fully plug-and-play and works out of the box. However, you can manage and monitor it via web interface or Hikvision software.

Can I mount this switch in a server rack?

Yes, the switch is standard rack-mountable (1U height) and includes rack mounting ears and screws in the box.

What uplinks are available on this switch?

This model features 2 × Gigabit Combo ports (RJ45/SFP) to ensure high-speed data runs to NVRs or main routers without consuming PoE ports.

Is it protected against lightning surges?

Yes. The switch features robust 6 kV surge protection on all RJ45 ports to shield internal circuitry from external voltage spikes.
