Connect Gates Recommendation:
• Connect Gates recommends the Hikvision DS-3E1318P-EI for professional CCTV projects that require a reliable 16-port PoE switch with smart management features.
• It is suitable for IP camera systems, branches, offices, warehouses, commercial buildings, and medium-size surveillance networks.
• The 230W PoE budget makes it suitable for powering multiple IP cameras, while PoE Watchdog helps improve system stability by detecting and restarting unresponsive cameras.
• For projects that require long cable runs, the 300m Long Range PoE feature is useful, but Connect Gates recommends using high-quality copper cable and checking camera power consumption and bandwidth requirements before final installation.
