Product SKU: DS-3E1309P-EI-B
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-3E1309P-EI(B) is an 8-port Smart Managed PoE network switch designed for compact IP surveillance systems requiring centralised camera power, network connectivity and practical CCTV-focused management features. Eight 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports provide IEEE 802.3af/at PoE with a total 110 W power budget, while a separate Gigabit RJ45 uplink provides higher-speed connectivity to an NVR, router or upstream network. Smart functions include 802.1Q VLAN, PoE watchdog, STP/RSTP loop prevention, cable detection, port monitoring and topology display. Long-range mode supports PoE transmission up to 300 metres on supported connections, while 6 kV surge protection and a fan-free metal enclosure make the switch a practical choice for small commercial and professional CCTV installations.
Key Capabilities
8-Port PoE Camera Connectivity
Eight 10/100 Mbps PoE ports allow compatible IP cameras and other IEEE 802.3af/at devices to receive both network data and power through their Ethernet connection, simplifying small surveillance deployments.
110 W Total PoE Budget
The switch provides a total PoE power budget of 110 W, with up to 30 W available on an individual supported port for compatible IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at devices.
Gigabit RJ45 Uplink
A dedicated Gigabit RJ45 port provides a faster upstream connection for linking the switch to a recorder, router or wider network without limiting the uplink to Fast Ethernet speed.
PoE Watchdog
The PoE watchdog can detect connected cameras that stop responding and automatically restart the relevant PoE port, helping restore compatible devices without requiring manual power cycling.
Up to 300 m Long-Range PoE
Ports 1 to 8 support long-range transmission up to 300 metres in the appropriate operating mode, extending compatible camera deployment beyond conventional Ethernet distances where installation conditions permit.
Smart Network Management
802.1Q VLAN, STP/RSTP loop prevention, cable diagnostics, port statistics and device monitoring provide practical management tools for improving CCTV network reliability and troubleshooting.
Best For
- Small CCTV Systems: Eight PoE ports suit compact camera installations where centralised power and networking are required.
- Commercial Properties: Useful for offices, shops, warehouses and small industrial premises running multiple IP cameras.
- Long Cable Runs: Extended PoE mode can support compatible cameras at distances up to 300 metres under suitable installation conditions.
- Remote Camera Recovery: PoE watchdog functionality helps restart unresponsive compatible cameras automatically.
- Managed CCTV Networks: VLAN, loop prevention, port monitoring and cable diagnostics provide more control than a basic unmanaged switch.
Why Choose the DS-3E1309P-EI(B)
The DS-3E1309P-EI(B) is designed specifically around the practical needs of small IP surveillance networks. Its eight PoE ports, 110 W total PoE budget and Gigabit uplink provide a strong foundation for multi-camera systems, while smart CCTV-focused features such as PoE watchdog, long-range transmission, cable detection and topology monitoring can simplify ongoing maintenance. VLAN support and STP/RSTP also provide useful network control beyond what an unmanaged switch offers. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-3E1309P-EI(B) is particularly well suited to projects where cameras use Fast Ethernet but the recorder or upstream network benefits from a Gigabit uplink.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: The eight camera ports are 10/100 Mbps rather than Gigabit. This is normally adequate for individual CCTV camera streams, but choose a full-Gigabit PoE switch if connected devices require Gigabit access-port speeds for other network workloads.
Buyer Tip: Add the maximum PoE consumption of every connected camera before installation. Although each supported port can provide up to 30 W, the combined power requirement of all eight ports must remain within the switch’s 110 W total PoE budget.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need eight PoE camera ports, a Gigabit uplink, 110 W PoE budget and smart CCTV-focused management features.
- Choose a full-Gigabit PoE switch if: The connected edge devices require Gigabit access-port speeds rather than 10/100 Mbps camera ports.
- Choose a higher PoE-budget model if: The combined maximum consumption of the intended cameras exceeds the 110 W total PoE budget.
- Choose a switch with more uplinks if: The network design requires redundant uplinks, SFP fibre interfaces or multiple Gigabit uplink ports.
FAQs
- What ports does the Hikvision DS-3E1309P-EI(B) provide?
The Hikvision DS-3E1309P-EI(B) provides eight 10/100 Mbps PoE RJ45 ports for powered edge devices and one Gigabit RJ45 uplink port. This layout is suited to CCTV networks where several Fast Ethernet cameras need PoE power while the switch uses a faster Gigabit uplink toward an NVR, router or upstream network device.
- What is the total PoE budget of the DS-3E1309P-EI(B)?
The DS-3E1309P-EI(B) has a total PoE power budget of 110 W. Its eight PoE ports support IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at devices, with up to 30 W available on an individual PoE port. The installer should add the maximum power requirements of all connected cameras and keep the combined demand within the switch’s total PoE budget.
- Does the DS-3E1309P-EI(B) support long-range PoE transmission?
Yes. Hikvision specifies long-range PoE transmission up to 300 metres on ports 1 to 8 when the switch is used in its supported long-range mode. Real-world performance depends on the camera model, cable quality and installation conditions, so cable type and link requirements should still be checked before relying on extended-distance operation.
- What does the PoE watchdog do on the DS-3E1309P-EI(B)?
The PoE watchdog can detect cameras that stop responding and restart the relevant PoE port automatically. This can reduce the need for a manual site visit when a compatible PoE camera becomes unresponsive because the switch can cycle power to that device and attempt to restore normal operation.
- What smart management functions does the DS-3E1309P-EI(B) support?
The switch supports smart management functions including 802.1Q VLAN, STP and RSTP loop prevention, cable detection, port configuration, topology display, port statistics, device status and PoE status monitoring. These tools give Security Wholesalers installations more control than an unmanaged PoE switch while keeping the switch focused on small CCTV networks.
- What are the dimensions, power supply and operating limits of the DS-3E1309P-EI(B)?
The DS-3E1309P-EI(B) measures approximately 170 mm × 27.6 mm × 93.1 mm and weighs about 0.35 kg. Hikvision specifies a 48 VDC, 2.5 A power supply, maximum power consumption of 120 W, operating temperature from 0°C to 40°C and operating humidity from 5% to 95% non-condensing. The metal enclosure uses a fan-free design.
