Hanwha HV-IGS950/20PS-910 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch

The Hanwha HV-IGS950/20PS-910 is a 16-port Gigabit Websmart managed switch purpose-built for mid-to-large IP surveillance and security system deployments. This switch delivers integrated PoE+ power across all ports while maintaining dedicated fiber uplink capacity, eliminating the need for external power injectors and simplifying network architecture for multi-camera installations, access control systems, and networked security devices.

Key Features

• 16 Gigabit PoE+ Ports: All ports support 802.3at PoE+ power delivery, enabling direct connection of powered and non-powered IP cameras, intercoms, access control devices, and network sensors without requiring additional midspans or external injectors
• 370W Total Power Budget: Aggregate power capacity sufficient to simultaneously operate multiple high-draw devices including PTZ cameras, pan-tilt-zoom mechanisms, and thermal imaging systems across the full port array
• 4 x SFP Uplink Ports: Dedicated Small Form-Factor Pluggable slots for fiber or copper gigabit backbone connectivity, enabling redundant core connections to NVRs, management systems, and network infrastructure without consuming standard RJ-45 ports
• Websmart Management Interface: Browser-based configuration and monitoring dashboard supporting VLAN setup, QoS tuning, port mirroring, and real-time device status visibility—no specialized software required
• Rack-Mountable Design: Standard 19-inch rack mounting for seamless integration into surveillance system infrastructure and server room deployments

Technical Highlights

The switch operates as a managed Layer 2 device, providing advanced switching intelligence without the complexity of enterprise-grade management overhead. The combination of 16 PoE+ ports and four SFP uplinks creates a scalable two-tier network topology: edge ports connect surveillance devices directly while uplinks carry aggregated traffic to core infrastructure. The 370W power budget accommodates typical surveillance device power consumption while supporting concurrent operation of higher-demand devices. Websmart management enables IT administrators and security integrators to configure port prioritization, segment traffic by VLAN, and monitor port utilization from any networked workstation.

Ideal Applications

• Multi-camera IP surveillance systems requiring 10+ connected devices
• Integrated security deployments combining cameras, intercoms, and access control endpoints
• Thermal imaging and PTZ camera installations demanding sustained power delivery
• Distributed surveillance networks requiring redundant uplink paths to central NVRs
• Enterprise and institutional security infrastructure expansion

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

This switch addresses a specific market need: managed switching with native PoE+ power and moderate budget capacity for surveillance-focused networks. The 370W budget is sufficient for standard surveillance deployments but represents a practical constraint—integrators should verify device power requirements before committing to port density. The four SFP uplinks are particularly valuable in deployments requiring fiber backbone connections for distance, noise immunity, or existing fiber infrastructure.

Websmart management occupies a middle ground: more capable than unmanaged switches for traffic control and monitoring, yet less demanding than full Layer 3 managed switches. For organizations standardizing on Hanwha surveillance platforms, this switch integrates naturally with their camera and NVR ecosystems while providing network flexibility for mixed-vendor environments.
