Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI 24 Port Gigabit Smart Managed PoE Switch — 370W Budget, SFP Uplink

The Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI 24 Port PoE Switch is the backbone of a clean, single-cable camera install — one 1U rack unit that powers, connects and manages up to 24 IP cameras at once. Every camera runs on a single Cat6 lead that carries both power and data, so there are no power points to find at the camera end and no separate injectors to fail. It is built for security networks, not repurposed office gear, which is why camera installers reach for it first.

Where a plain unmanaged switch just passes traffic, the Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI 24 Port PoE Switch watches over the cameras hanging off it, recovers them when they freeze, and lets you see and fix the whole network from your phone. You get the simplicity of plug-and-play with the control of a managed switch the moment you want it.

Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI 24 Port PoE Switch — Power Every Camera Down One Cable

All 24 ports deliver PoE and PoE+ to the 802.3af and 802.3at standard, up to 30W per port, drawing on a generous 370W total budget. That headroom means the Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI 24 Port PoE Switch comfortably powers a full bank of 24 cameras — including power-hungry pan-tilt-zoom and dual-lens models — without you having to ration ports. One Cat6 run does it all: power and video on the same cable, so installs are faster and there is nothing to plug in at the camera.

Gigabit Speed on Every Port — SFP Fibre Uplink for Long Backhaul

Every one of the 24 access ports is full gigabit, and a 56 Gbps switching capacity with a 41.66 Mpps forwarding rate means 4K and 8MP streams flow without a bottleneck even when every channel is recording at once. A dedicated gigabit RJ45 uplink (port 25) and a gigabit SFP fibre slot (port 26) carry all that footage back to your NVR or core switch — over copper for short hops, or over fibre when the recorder sits a building away. The Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI 24 Port PoE Switch never becomes the choke point between your cameras and your recorder.

Manage Every Port from Anywhere — Hik-Partner Pro Cloud

Activate the switch with one click and manage it remotely through Hik-Partner Pro: view the live network topology, watch per-port bandwidth and PoE power draw, read alarms, and reboot a stuck port or upgrade firmware without leaving your desk. On site, a built-in web interface gives you VLANs, QoS, link aggregation and loop prevention (STP and RSTP) whenever a job needs them. The Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI 24 Port PoE Switch gives a small business plug-and-play simplicity and gives an integrator full managed control from the very same box.

Built for 24/7 CCTV Reliability — PoE Watchdog & 300m Long Range

PoE Watchdog quietly checks each camera and power-cycles any that stop responding, so a frozen camera fixes itself instead of becoming a call-out. Long-range mode pushes power and data up to 300m on ports 1 to 24 — roughly three times the usual cable limit — to reach gatehouses, car parks and back fences (reach varies with the camera and cable, per Hikvision). Built-in cable detection flags a damaged or shorted run before it costs you a day, and 6kV surge protection plus a solid metal 1U chassis keep the Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI 24 Port PoE Switch running through storms and spikes.

Where the DS-3E1526P-EI Earns Its Place Across Australia

🏠 Residential & multi-dwelling — The Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI 24 Port PoE Switch powers an entire home or apartment-block camera system from the comms cupboard, with spare ports and budget for the cameras you add later. The single-cable runs keep the install tidy and hidden, and PoE Watchdog means the cameras look after themselves between visits.

🏪 Retail & small business — Run a full shop or showroom camera fit-out from one rack unit and keep an eye on uptime from your phone, not the back office. If a camera at the loading dock drops out overnight, the Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI 24 Port PoE Switch restarts it before you open.

🏭 Warehouses & industrial sites — This is where 300m long-range mode pays off, reaching cameras on distant racking, yards and perimeter fences that ordinary 100m cabling cannot. The Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI 24 Port PoE Switch carries a large, high-resolution camera count on its 370W budget and gigabit backbone without strain.

🏢 Offices & commercial buildings — VLANs keep the camera network cleanly separated from staff and guest traffic on the same cabling, and remote management lets your IT provider tune or reboot ports without a site visit. The Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI 24 Port PoE Switch slots straight into an existing comms rack.

⚡ Installers & integrators — Standard 1U mounting, click-to-activate Hik-Partner Pro onboarding and remote firmware upgrades make rollouts and ongoing service fast across multiple sites. Cable detection and topology view turn fault-finding from a site visit into a glance.

Stepping up from the cloud-only DS-3E1526P-EI/M, the Hikvision DS-3E1526P-EI 24 Port PoE Switch gives you a far larger power budget across the same 24-port layout:
