Hikvision DS-KD8003Y-IME2 | 2MP 2-Wire IP Modular Door Station | Outdoor, IP65

FAQs

What is the maximum number of sub-modules that can be connected to the DS-KD8003Y-IME2?

The main unit supports up to 16 sub-modules connected via the RS-485 interface. Each sub-module must be assigned a unique address from 1 to 8, configured using DIP switches on the module. The system allows you to add various types of sub-modules including name tag modules, keypad modules, card reader modules, display modules, and button modules to customize the functionality according to your requirements.

What is the field of view of the built-in camera?

The 2MP fisheye camera provides a horizontal field of view of 146° and a vertical field of view of 82°. When installed at the recommended height of 1.4m to 1.6m from the ground, the camera can capture a highest visual height of approximately 1.83m to 2m and a lowest visual height of 0.96m to 1.16m at a distance of 0.5m from the door station.

Can the DS-KD8003Y-IME2 power door locks directly?

Yes, the main unit includes dual relay outputs capable of controlling two door locks, each supporting up to 30 VDC at 2A. Additionally, the device provides a dedicated 12V DC power output at 500mA that can directly power one electronic lock without requiring an additional power supply. This integrated power capability simplifies installation and reduces the need for external power supplies.

What installation methods are supported?

The DS-KD8003Y-IME2 supports both surface mounting and flush mounting installation methods. For flush mounting, you’ll need to create an installation hole with suggested dimensions of 321.8mm (W) × 108mm (H) × 45.5mm (D). For surface mounting, the device attaches to a mounting frame fixed to the wall. The system’s modular design allows for one-module, two-module, three-module, or more-than-three-module configurations depending on your requirements.

What is the operating temperature range?

The door station is designed for outdoor use with a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 60°C (-22°F to 140°F). Combined with IP65 weather protection, this makes it suitable for installation in various climatic conditions. The device also operates reliably in humidity levels from 10% to 90%.

How does the two-wire system work?

The two-wire architecture uses a single two-wire IP interface to transmit both power and data between the door station and other system components. This significantly simplifies installation compared to traditional systems that require separate cables for power, video, audio, and data. The system is powered by KAD704Y or KAD706Y series distributors, which provide centralized power management for the entire installation.

What video compression formats are supported?

The DS-KD8003Y-IME2 supports multiple video compression standards including H.264, H.265, and MJPEG. This flexibility allows you to balance between image quality and bandwidth requirements based on your network infrastructure and recording needs.

Does the camera work in complete darkness?

Yes, the integrated IR (infrared) supplement light provides effective illumination up to 3 metres, enabling the camera to capture clear images even in complete darkness. The camera automatically switches to IR mode in low-light conditions, producing black and white images with sufficient detail for visitor identification.

How many indoor stations can be connected to this door station?

The system supports up to 500 linked indoor stations, making it suitable for medium to large residential or commercial buildings. The device can store up to 2,000 user profiles, providing comprehensive access control for multi-tenant properties.

What alarm inputs are available?

The main unit provides 4 alarm inputs which are configured by default for 2 exit buttons and 2 door contacts. Additionally, there are 2 dedicated door contact inputs for monitoring door status. These inputs can be used to integrate with existing security infrastructure or to add manual override functionality for residents.

Can I configure the device remotely?

Yes, the DS-KD8003Y-IME2 supports convenient configuration via web interface, allowing you to adjust settings remotely without needing physical access to the device. The system supports TCP/IP, RTSP, IPv6, and ONVIF protocols, ensuring compatibility with various network infrastructures and video management systems.

What audio features does the device include?

The door station features a built-in omnidirectional microphone and integrated loudspeaker for two-way communication. Advanced audio processing includes noise suppression and echo
