Built for Reliable Power, Smarter Control, and Fewer Site Visits
The Hikvision DS-3E1318P-EI/M is designed for installers and system owners who want their network to just work—day after day. It combines dependable PoE power, intelligent monitoring, and long-distance support into one clean, rack-ready switch. Instead of constantly troubleshooting camera dropouts or power issues, this model helps you stay ahead of problems. The result is a more stable surveillance network and less time spent fixing avoidable issues.

Key Features That Make a Real Difference
- 16 PoE ports with 130 W total budget — power all your cameras from one switch without juggling injectors or power supplies.
- Up to 30 W per port (802.3af/at) — confidently support higher-power cameras and accessories.
- 300 m long-range PoE support — place cameras where they’re actually needed, not where cable limits force you.
- PoE watchdog auto-restart — automatically recovers frozen cameras so you avoid emergency service calls.
- VIP ports (1–8) — prioritizes critical camera traffic when bandwidth is constrained.
- 802.1Q VLAN & port isolation — separates traffic to improve security and reduce network noise.
- STP/RSTP loop prevention — protects the network from accidental loops that can take everything offline.
- Web, Hik-Partner Pro, and Hik-Central Pro management — see power usage, port status, and topology without being onsite.
- 6 kV surge protection — added resilience for real-world electrical conditions.
What This Helps You Avoid
This switch helps you avoid the frustration of cameras randomly going offline, underpowered ports, and long troubleshooting sessions. Instead of driving back to a site just to reboot a frozen camera, the PoE watchdog handles it automatically. You also reduce the risk of network-wide outages caused by loops or overloaded uplinks. In short, it replaces reactive firefighting with predictable, stable operation.
