DS-KD-E - Hikvision EM 125kHz Card Reader Module for Modular Video Intercom

DS-KD-E - Hikvision EM 125kHz Card Reader Module for Modular Video Intercom

The DS-KD-E is a Hikvision card reader module developed for integration into modular video intercom systems. It enables door unlocking using EM 125kHz proximity cards, adding an access control function to the installation.

With its compact design, IP65 protection rating and power supply provided by another module in the system, the Hikvision DS-KD-E offers a practical solution for residential and professional installations requiring card-based identification.

DS-KD-E - Access Control with EM 125kHz Cards

The DS-KD-E features an integrated proximity card reader that allows door unlocking when a compatible EM card is presented to the reading area.

The module uses EM 125kHz technology, providing a contactless identification method without requiring physical contact with the device.

This functionality is particularly useful in installations where authorised users need to access buildings or restricted areas using proximity cards.

Integration with Hikvision Modular Video Intercom Systems

The DS-KD-E card reader module is designed for use with compatible Hikvision modular video intercom systems.

It features two module connection interfaces, consisting of one input and one output, allowing integration into the modular structure of the system.

This configuration enables the card reader to be combined with other compatible modules according to the requirements of each installation.

Card Registration and Management Through the Main Module

The DS-KD-E supports card registration and issuing through the system's main module.

This functionality allows access card management to be integrated into the modular video intercom configuration, depending on the capabilities of the main module being used.

The device is designed to read EM 125kHz cards. Compatibility with the selected cards should be verified before use.

Card Reader with Backlight Compensation

The Hikvision DS-KD-E includes a backlight compensation feature, as indicated in the manufacturer's product specifications.

Its front panel incorporates a dedicated card reading area, allowing users to identify where to present their proximity credentials.

IP65 Protection for Outdoor Installations

The DS-KD-E features an IP65 protection rating, providing protection against dust ingress and water jets when correctly installed.

It is designed to operate at temperatures ranging from -40°C to +55°C, with a relative humidity range of 10% to 95%.

These characteristics allow the module to be used in different environmental conditions, provided the manufacturer's installation recommendations are followed.

12V DC Power Supply and Low Power Consumption

The Hikvision card reader module operates with a 12V DC power supply provided by another module in the system.

It also features a 12V DC power output for connecting another compatible module.

With a power consumption of just 0.8W, the DS-KD-E can be integrated into the modular system without requiring an individual dedicated power supply, provided the electrical requirements of the installation are met.

Flush-Mounted or Surface-Mounted Installation

The DS-KD-E supports two installation methods:

• Flush-mounted installation: integration into the wall using a compatible mounting bracket.
• Surface-mounted installation: mounting onto the wall using a suitable accessory.

Mounting accessories specified by the manufacturer include the DS-KD-ACF and DS-KD-ACW series, available in different configurations depending on the number of modules.

Mounting accessories must be selected according to the intended installation and should not be considered included unless explicitly confirmed.

Compact Dimensions of the Hikvision DS-KD-E

The module measures 98.5 × 100 × 33.7 mm, allowing integration into compatible mounting structures within the Hikvision modular video intercom range.

Its approximate weight is 160 g without packaging and 421 g with packaging.
