Product Description
The DS-KD8003-IME1(B) is the camera-equipped main unit from Hikvision's KD series modular IP video intercom range. It's the door station itself — the part a visitor sees, speaks into, and presents a card to.
What it captures
A built-in 2MP HD camera with a wide-angle lens gives a clear view of whoever is at the door. Infrared illumination extends this to low-light and night-time conditions, so identification doesn't depend on external lighting.
Audio and access
The microphone and speaker pairing includes noise suppression and echo cancellation, aimed at keeping two-way calls to an indoor monitor or mobile app clear rather than distorted. For access control, an integrated Mifare 13.56 MHz RFID reader lets authorised users unlock the door with a contactless card — no separate reader module required for this function.
Fitting it into a system
Connection is via TCP/IP Ethernet, which is how it talks to Hikvision indoor stations, mobile apps, and centralised access control systems. Being modular, it installs into Hikvision flush or surface mount frames, and can sit alongside additional modules such as keypads or display units.
Where it's used
Suited to residential blocks, apartment entrances, offices, and other commercial access points that need IP-based video intercom rather than a standalone camera.
