HIKVISION DS-3E1518P-SI 16 Port Gigabit Smart POE Switch
The Hikvision DS-3E1518P-SI is a smart managed 16-port Gigabit PoE switch for medium-size camera systems. It has 16 Gigabit PoE ports and 2 Gigabit fiber optical ports, a 225 W PoE budget, and a rack-mount metal housing with a built-in 100-240 V AC power supply.
Key Features
16 Gigabit PoE Ports + 2 Fiber Ports: Ports 1 to 16 supply data and power to cameras over one cable each, using IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at. The two Gigabit fiber optical ports (SFP modules sold separately) can link the switch to a distant building or to the core network.

225 W PoE Budget: Each PoE port can deliver up to 30 W, and the whole switch provides up to 225 W shared across its PoE ports. Plan the total consumption of your cameras so it stays within this budget.
Long-Range PoE up to 300 m: In extend mode, ports 1 to 16 can power AF/AT cameras up to 300 m away. This is useful for large sites where cameras are far from the rack.
PoE Watchdog and 6 kV Surge Protection: The switch detects cameras that stop responding and restarts them automatically. The PoE ports have 6 kV surge protection.

Layer 2 Management: It supports 802.1Q VLAN (up to 4094 VLANs), port isolation, static link aggregation (8 groups), port-based QoS with SP/WRR scheduling, STP loop prevention, port rate limiting and storm control. These tools keep camera traffic organized and protect the network from loops and broadcast storms.
Remote Management with Hik-Partner Pro: With one-click activation in Hik-Partner Pro you can see port rates, bandwidth use, topology and alarm status, restart ports and devices, and upgrade the switch remotely. Hikvision also lists network topology management, alarm push and network health monitoring.
Good to know
- The PoE power budget is shared by all PoE ports; the total power of connected devices must stay within it.
- The 300 m long-range PoE distance is an extend mode; Hikvision notes that long-range performance may vary with the camera model and cable condition.
- SFP fiber modules are not included; Hikvision lists them as optional accessories (for example HK-SFP-1.25G-20-1310).
- Operating temperature is 0 °C to 45 °C (indoor installation).
