Hanwha HV-X950-28XSQ-900 Advanced Layer 3 Switch with SFP+ Slot
When your surveillance deployment spans multiple VLANs or requires inter-VLAN routing without hairpinning traffic through a router, you need a managed Layer 3 switch that can handle the routing decisions at line rate. The Hanwha HV-X950-28XSQ-900 delivers full Layer 3 functionality with static routing, policy-based routing, and VLAN segmentation—essential for medium to large camera networks where you're segregating camera traffic from management networks or isolating different facility zones on separate subnets.
Key Features
- Layer 3 routing capabilities enable inter-VLAN routing directly on the switch, eliminating bottlenecks and reducing dependency on edge routers in segmented surveillance networks
- SFP+ slot provides 10 Gigabit uplink connectivity for aggregating high-bandwidth camera feeds to central NVRs or storage arrays
- Advanced managed switch functionality supports 802.1Q VLAN tagging, QoS prioritization, and port mirroring for traffic analysis and troubleshooting
- Static routing and policy-based routing allow granular control over traffic flows between camera subnets, management networks, and WAN connections
- Port-based security features including MAC address filtering, port security, and storm control protect against unauthorized devices and broadcast storms
- IGMP snooping and multicast filtering optimize bandwidth utilization in deployments with multicast streaming or edge recording
- Robust power budget and Ethernet port configuration support PoE-powered devices when paired with appropriate injectors or midspans
This switch is designed for integrators building enterprise or campus-scale surveillance networks where camera counts exceed simple flat topologies. If you're deploying 50+ cameras across multiple buildings, segmenting guest Wi-Fi cameras from corporate security cameras, or routing between access control VLANs and video management VLANs, Layer 3 functionality becomes critical. The HV-X950-28XSQ-900 handles these routing decisions in hardware, maintaining low latency while keeping your network architecture clean and scalable.
The SFP+ slot is particularly valuable when backhauling aggregated camera traffic over fiber to a central server room or when connecting multiple buildings in a campus topology. Deploy this switch at distribution layer positions where you need both local VLAN routing and high-speed uplinks to core infrastructure. Compatible with standard VMS platforms and network management protocols, the HV-X950-28XSQ-900 integrates into existing enterprise network architectures without proprietary dependencies.
