The Hikvision DS-3E1528P-EI is a smart-managed Gigabit PoE switch designed for professional IP surveillance systems and business networks. It features 24 Gigabit PoE ports, two additional Gigabit RJ45 ports, and two Gigabit fibre-optic ports. With a total PoE power budget of up to 370W, support for IEEE 802.3af/at, VLAN configuration, PoE watchdog, and extended PoE transmission up to 300 metres, it provides flexible connectivity for IP cameras, wireless access points, and other network devices

The Hikvision DS-3E1528P-EI is designed to simplify network deployment and management in large CCTV installations, offices, commercial buildings, and other professional environments.

Its 24 Gigabit PoE ports deliver both data and power over a single Ethernet cable, while two additional Gigabit RJ45 ports and two Gigabit fibre-optic ports provide uplink connectivity for network expansion.
