With 16 PoE ports, intelligent power management, and built-in monitoring tools, it removes the usual complexity of powering and managing IP cameras. Instead of worrying about frozen cameras, power limits, or messy installs, you get a switch that actively supports your system’s reliability. It’s a practical, professional-grade foundation for surveillance networks that need stability and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- WHY BUYERS CHOOSE THIS MODEL --\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buyers Choose This Model\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey want a single switch that powers, monitors, and protects their cameras.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey need long cable runs without adding extenders or extra hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey value remote visibility into PoE usage, port status, and network health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey want fewer service calls caused by unresponsive cameras.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- KEY FEATURES \u0026 BENEFITS --\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Buyer Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16 PoE ports with 230 W power budget\u003c\/strong\u003e — power multiple IP cameras from one switch, eliminating separate power supplies and reducing installation clutter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoE watchdog auto-recovery\u003c\/strong\u003e — automatically restarts unresponsive cameras, helping you avoid downtime and manual resets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 300 m long-range PoE support\u003c\/strong\u003e — reach distant camera locations without adding repeaters or additional switches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 Gigabit combo uplink ports (RJ45\/SFP)\u003c\/strong\u003e — keep video traffic flowing smoothly to NVRs or core networks, even in high-load systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e802.1Q VLAN and port isolation\u003c\/strong\u003e — segment surveillance traffic to improve security and keep camera data separate from other network devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHik-Partner Pro remote management\u003c\/strong\u003e — view topology, PoE power usage, port status, and alarms remotely, saving time on diagnostics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6 kV surge protection\u003c\/strong\u003e — adds peace of mind by protecting equipment from electrical spikes and unstable power conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRack-mount metal housing\u003c\/strong\u003e — a clean, professional installation that holds up in control rooms and equipment racks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- PAIN \u0026 RESOLUTION --\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Helps You Avoid\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany camera systems fail not because the cameras are bad, but because the network can’t keep up. Frozen feeds, random disconnects, power overloads, and unclear troubleshooting all lead to frustration and wasted time. The DS-3E1318P-EI addresses these pain points with intelligent PoE control, automatic recovery, and clear visibility into what’s happening on every port. Instead of reacting to problems, you gain control—and confidence—in your surveillance infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- WHAT'S IN THE BOX --\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-name\"\u003ePoE Switch\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003eHikvision DS-3E1318P-EI 16-Port Fast Ethernet Smart PoE Switch\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-name\"\u003eMounting Hardware\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003eRack mounting ears (pre-installed \/ included)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-name\"\u003ePower Cable\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-value\"\u003eAC power cord\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e```\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"USAcompuA+ Corp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46639162589361,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/0389\/3169\/files\/1460_22.jpg?v=1770274335","url":"https:\/\/www.usacompua.com\/products\/hikvision-ds-3e1318p-ei-16-port-smart-poe-switch-with-230w-budget-gigabit-uplinks","provider":"USAcompuA+ Corp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
