HIKVISION - DS-3E1309P-EI(B) - 8-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Switch, Smart Managed

DS-3E1309P-EI(B) — 8-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Switch, Smart Managed

The DS-3E1309P-EI(B) is an 8-port 10/100 Mbps PoE switch with a 110 W PoE budget and 1 × Gigabit uplink. It mounts on a desk or a wall.

The number that decides whether it fits your job is the power budget, not the port count. 110 W covers all 8 ports filled with typical fixed cameras — fewer if any are PTZs, have heaters, or are 4K models with stronger IR. Add up the real figures from each camera's datasheet before you commit; an undersized budget is the single most common reason a newly wired camera refuses to power up even though the port lights.

Being smart-managed, it adds the things that save a site visit: VLANs to keep CCTV traffic off the office network, per-port power monitoring, and the ability to reboot a hung camera remotely through Hik-Partner Pro.

It also has a long-range mode that pushes PoE and data to 300 m on the designated ports, at reduced speed. That is a genuinely useful way out of a run that is slightly too long, though it drops those ports to 10 Mbps — so use it for one camera at the end of a long run rather than as a design default.

Technical specification

Specification taken from Hikvision's published data for this model. Appearance and parameters may vary; ask us if a particular figure matters for your project.

What you'll need

• A PoE budget with headroom — work from each camera's actual draw, not the port count
• Cat5e and Cat6 cable rated for the run length; standard PoE reaches about 100 m, or 300 m in long-range mode at reduced speed
• Cameras and a recorder: see IP cameras and NVRs
• A spare uplink port back to the router or recorder
• Compare the range in PoE switches, or browse data networking

Frequently asked questions

How many cameras will it actually run?

The budget is 110 W. A typical fixed IP camera with IR draws around 6–12 W, so realistically all 8 ports filled with typical fixed cameras — but a PTZ camera or a camera with a heater can take 30–60 W on its own and change that arithmetic completely. Send us the camera list and we will total it up with you.

What PoE standards does it support?

IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at, delivering up to 30 W per port. That covers standard fixed cameras comfortably; check anything with a heater or a motor against the figure.

What does smart-managed give me over unmanaged?

Visibility and remote control: per-port power draw, the ability to reboot a camera without driving to site, and VLANs to separate CCTV from the general network. On a commercial site that pays for itself the first time you avoid a call-out.

What is the PoE watchdog?

It detects a camera that has stopped responding and power-cycles that port automatically. A small feature that quietly prevents a lot of "the camera is offline" calls.
