Hikvision DS-3E0318P-E/M 16-Port Unmanaged PoE Switch

The DS-3E0318P-E/M is an unmanaged PoE switch for 16-camera IP systems. It has 16 10/100 PoE ports, a gigabit RJ-45 uplink for the NVR or core network, and a separate gigabit SFP port for a fibre link to another building.

Each PoE port supplies up to 30W (802.3af/at), enough for most domes, bullets, and many PTZ cameras. The total budget is 135W on the series datasheet, and it can differ slightly between hardware revisions. Ports 1–8 are high-priority ports, so connect your key cameras there to keep them powered first.

A mode switch sets standard, priority, isolation, or extend mode. Extend mode pushes PoE past 250 metres for cameras on a long fence or car park. It has a metal case, 4kV lightning protection on the ports, and runs on 100–240V AC with no configuration needed.
