Quick Clarification Before I Write the Description
Right now, the only official datasheet you provided is for the Hikvision DS-3E1326P-EI/M — which is a PoE switch, not a camera. Your request says “research this camera,” and I don’t want to invent details or describe the wrong product.
Which one do you want the NEPQ description for?
- Option A: Write the description for the DS-3E1326P-EI/M PoE switch using only the datasheet details already provided.
- Option B: Write the description for a camera — you’ll need to send the camera’s Brand + Model and its datasheet PDF.

Hikvision DS-3E1326P-EI/M — 24-Port Fast Ethernet Smart PoE Switch
If you’re powering a lot of IP cameras and you want the network side to feel “set it and forget it,” the DS-3E1326P-EI/M keeps things simple. You get PoE across 24 ports (with a healthy power budget), smart management features for visibility and maintenance, and built-in protections that help prevent outages and expensive troubleshooting time.
Key Features
- 24 PoE ports + Gigabit uplinks — power cameras and still keep uplink traffic moving smoothly.
- 230 W total PoE budget — supports more devices without constantly “doing the math” on power.
- PoE watchdog — automatically detects and restarts non-responding cameras so you’re not rolling a truck for a reboot.
- Long-range PoE up to 300 m — helps when your camera runs are farther than typical installs (performance depends on camera/cable).
- VLAN + port isolation — cleaner segmentation for better security and fewer network headaches.
- 6 kV surge protection — extra peace of mind in harsher electrical environments.
Ideal Applications (Common Uses)
- Small-to-mid IP surveillance deployments needing centralized PoE power and stable switching.
- Retail, offices, warehouses, schools, and light industrial sites where uptime matters and on-site IT is limited.
- Camera runs that may require extended distance PoE (layout-dependent).
- Networks that benefit from VLAN segmentation and basic smart management features.

Physical Interface (Indicators / Ports)
Flashing: The port is transmitting data.
Unlit: The port is disconnected or connection is abnormal.
Flashing: The port is transmitting data.
Unlit: The port is disconnected or connection is abnormal.
Flashing: The port is transmitting data.
Unlit: The port is disconnected or connection is abnormal.
Unlit: The switch is disconnected to a PD, or provides power supply to a PD abnormally.
When plugged into with an optical module and connected to an optical fiber, the combo functions as a fiber optical port.
When connected to both the network cable and optical fiber at the same time, the combo works as a fiber optical port.
Unlit: The switch does not supply power to a powered device (PD), or supplies power to a PD normally and its output power does not reach the upper limit.
Note: The PoE-MAX indicator will be unlit in 5 seconds after the output power of the switch returns to normal.
Unlit: No power supply connected or power supply is abnormal.

Frequently Asked Questions
The DS-3E1326P-EI/M provides PoE on ports 1 through 24, with a maximum of 30 W per port and a total PoE power budget of 230 W. This means you can power multiple IP cameras, access points, or other PoE devices as long as their combined power draw does not exceed the total budget. The switch automatically manages power distribution to connected devices. This helps prevent overload while keeping connected equipment running reliably.
Yes, the switch supports a long-range mode on ports 1 to 24, allowing PoE transmission up to 300 meters. This feature is designed for surveillance scenarios where cameras are installed far from the network cabinet. Actual performance can vary depending on the camera model and the quality of the network cable used. This makes it suitable for larger sites where standard Ethernet distance is not sufficient.
The switch includes a PoE watchdog function on ports 1 through 24. This feature automatically detects cameras or other powered devices that stop responding. When an issue is detected, the switch can restart power to the affected port to recover the device. This reduces downtime and minimizes the need for manual reboots or on-site maintenance.
Yes, the DS-3E1326P-EI/M supports management through a web interface as well as remote management platforms. It can be managed using Hik-Partner Pro for remote monitoring, configuration, and maintenance. The switch also supports management via Hik-Central Pro. These tools allow you to view port status, PoE usage, alarms, and even perform remote upgrades.
The switch supports VLAN functionality based on IEEE 802.1Q standards. VLAN IDs from 1 to 4094 can be configured, with support for Access and Trunk port modes. It also supports port isolation on ports 1 through 24, preventing devices within the same isolation group from communicating with each other. These features help improve network security and reduce unwanted traffic between devices.
The switch includes one Gigabit combo port and one dedicated Gigabit RJ45 port for uplink connections. The combo port can function as either an RJ45 Ethernet port or a fiber optical port, depending on how it is connected. When both copper and fiber are connected to the combo port, the fiber connection takes priority. These uplink options help ensure sufficient bandwidth for aggregated camera traffic.
Yes, the switch is designed for rack mounting and comes equipped with mounting ears. Its metal housing provides durability for professional installations. The physical dimensions are 440 mm × 44 mm × 220.8 mm, which fits standard rack environments. This makes it well suited for server rooms, network closets, and centralized surveillance racks.
The DS-3E1326P-EI/M features 6 kV surge protection to help protect against lightning and electrical surges. It also includes status indicators such as PoE-MAX and PWR LEDs to alert users to power conditions. These protections help safeguard both the switch and connected devices. This is especially important in environments with less stable electrical infrastructure.
