HIKVISION - DS-K1104M - Metal Vandal-Proof Card Reader, 13.56 MHz, Gang-Box Mount

Hikvision DS-K1104M — metal vandal-proof 13.56 MHz card reader for gang-box mounting

The DS-K1104M is the reader in Hikvision's Pro 1104 series that Hikvision titles its metal vandal-proof card reader: a 13.56 MHz reader in a metal housing sized for a standard 86 mm or 120 mm gang box, so it replaces a flush back-box plate rather than sitting on a mullion. It has no keypad — the DS-K1104MK is the same reader with a 12-key PIN pad. A buzzer confirms reads and the reader address is set by DIP switch. Where a slimmer surface-mount reader suits the door better, the DS-K1107AM is the mullion alternative, and for an exposed gate with EM fobs the IP66 DS-K1105EMB.

Hikvision readers pass credentials to an access controller such as the DS-K2702X, which holds the card database and drives the lock. Hikvision's page for the DS-K1104M gives the card frequency (13.56 MHz) and the DIP-switch ID setting but does not itemise the output interfaces or an IP rating, so we have not stated them here — tell us your controller and card type and we will confirm the match before you order.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the DS-K1104M and the DS-K1104MK?

Only the keypad: the DS-K1104M has none; the DS-K1104MK adds a 12-key PIN pad (0–9, *, #). Housing, power and frequency are the same on Hikvision's series page.

Which cards does the DS-K1104M read?

Hikvision publishes the frequency, 13.56 MHz. Tell us the card or fob you use and we will confirm it before you order.

Does it fit a standard back box?

Yes — Hikvision lists it for 86 and 120 gang boxes, unlike the mullion-style DS-K1107AM.

Is it rated for outdoor use?

Hikvision's page gives -20 °C to 65 °C and a metal vandal-proof housing but no IP rating, so we do not state one. Ask us if the position is exposed.

How is the reader addressed?

The reader ID is set with the on-board DIP switch.
