Description

Hikvision 16-port Smart Managed PoE Switch for 16-Camera Network Installations

The Hikvision 16-Port Smart Managed PoE Switch is designed for IP surveillance networks that need to power and connect multiple cameras from one central switch. Its 16 IEEE 802.3af/at PoE ports share a 230 W power budget, while two Gigabit combo ports provide higher-speed uplink options.

Smart management functions such as PoE watchdog, network topology monitoring, VLAN support and loop prevention make it particularly useful where easier fault finding and ongoing network management are important.

Is This Right for You?

This switch is well suited to medium-sized CCTV systems requiring up to 16 PoE-powered network devices. It is particularly useful for rack-based installations where centralised PoE power, monitoring and long-distance camera links are required.

Choose a different switch if the connected devices require Gigabit Ethernet on every powered port. The 16 PoE device ports operate at 10/100 Mbps; the Gigabit capability is provided through the two combo uplink ports.

Why Choose This Product?

• 16 PoE connections: powers and networks up to 16 compatible IEEE 802.3af/at devices without requiring a separate power supply at each camera location.
• 230 W PoE budget: provides substantial shared power capacity, with up to 30 W supported on an individual PoE port.
• PoE watchdog: can detect an unresponsive camera and restart its PoE connection automatically, helping reduce manual intervention.
• Up to 300 m Extend mode: allows longer PoE links where required, although achievable distance depends on the connected camera and cable condition.
• Smart network management: supports functions including 802.1Q VLAN, STP/RSTP loop prevention, port isolation, topology monitoring and cable fault detection.
• 6 kV surge protection: adds protection against electrical surges affecting the switch’s network connections.

Before You Buy

• The Hikvision 16-Port Smart Managed PoE Switch provides 16 × 10/100 Mbps PoE ports and 2 × Gigabit combo ports.
• Connected PoE devices must be compatible with IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at and remain within the switch’s 230 W total PoE budget.
• Maximum supported output on an individual PoE port is 30 W.
• Long-range transmission of up to 300 m is not guaranteed in every installation; performance varies according to the camera and network cabling.
• The switch is designed for rack installation and includes mounting hardware.
• It operates from 100–240 V AC mains power.
