Hikvision DS-KD-KP KD8 Series Pro Modular IP Video Intercom Keypad Module
The Hikvision DS-KD-KP is a professional 12-button keypad expansion module designed for compatible Hikvision KD8 Series Pro modular IP video intercom door stations.
Featuring an illuminated physical keypad, PIN-code door unlocking and room-number calling, the DS-KD-KP provides convenient access control and visitor communication functions for residential and commercial entrance systems.
The module allows authorised users to enter a configured PIN code to unlock a compatible entrance through the connected Hikvision door station main unit.
Visitors can also enter a resident's room number to initiate a call to the corresponding compatible indoor station.
This combination makes the DS-KD-KP particularly suitable for apartment buildings, residential complexes, offices and multi-unit properties.
The keypad features 12 physical buttons arranged in a familiar numerical layout.
Integrated button backlighting improves visibility in low-light entrance environments, helping visitors and residents operate the keypad after dark.
The DS-KD-KP is designed to integrate with compatible Hikvision KD8 modular door station main units, including supported DS-KD8003-IME1 configurations.
Its modular architecture allows professional installers to incorporate the keypad alongside compatible video, audio, card reader and visitor calling components.
The module communicates through the connected Hikvision modular system and does not require an independent Ethernet network connection.
Power is supplied through compatible modular equipment using a 12V DC power arrangement.
The manufacturer's current datasheet specifies a power consumption of approximately 1W.
The DS-KD-KP is designed for outdoor entrance installations, featuring an IP65 dust and water protection rating.
Its IK07 impact resistance rating provides additional protection against mechanical impact.
The keypad operates across a wide temperature range of -40°C to +55°C, supporting installation in various environmental conditions.
With compact dimensions of 98.5 × 100 × 34.2mm, the module fits into compatible Hikvision modular mounting assemblies.
Both surface and flush mounting arrangements are supported using suitable Hikvision mounting accessories.
The Hikvision DS-KD-KP is an ideal accessory for professional security installers looking to add PIN-code unlocking and room-number calling to compatible Hikvision modular video intercom systems.
Available from Civic Electronic, an Authorised Hikvision Sales Partner and Hikvision Training Centre in Sydney, Australia.
Important: The DS-KD-KP is a keypad expansion module only. It is not a standalone access control device or complete video intercom door station. A compatible Hikvision modular main unit and mounting accessories are required.
