HIKVISION - DS-K1105EMKB - EM & Mifare Card Reader with Keypad, IP66, RS-485 / Wiegand

Hikvision DS-K1105EMKB — EM and Mifare card reader with keypad, IP66

The DS-K1105EMKB solves the mixed-credential problem. Many older UK sites issued 125 kHz EM fobs; new Hikvision systems use 13.56 MHz Mifare. This reader accepts both, so a controller upgrade to the DS-K2702X can happen without reissuing every fob, and new Mifare credentials such as the DS-K7M102-M can be phased in. The keypad adds a PIN for two-factor entry or code-only access for visitors. Its IP66 rating and -40 °C to 65 °C range make it the toughest of the readers listed here — this is the one for an exposed gate. The DS-K1107AM is the Mifare-only alternative.

Hikvision readers connect to an access controller over RS-485 or Wiegand; the controller holds the credentials and drives the lock. They pair with the DS-K27 controllers and DS-K2M002X modules listed on this site, and with third-party controllers that accept Wiegand 26/34. Tell us your controller and card type and we will confirm the match.

Two technologies, one reader

The datasheet lists EM card and M1 card as the supported card types, with RS-485 and Wiegand outputs so the reader works with Hikvision K27 controllers over either bus and with third-party controllers over Wiegand. The keypad allows card-plus-PIN, PIN-only or card-only modes as configured on the controller.

Built for outside

IP66 — the reader can take direct jets of water — with a -40 °C to 65 °C operating range and 0–90% humidity. Power is 12 VDC at up to 6 W, with a buzzer for feedback. Wall mounting at 139 × 46 × 21.2 mm, narrow enough for a door mullion or gate post.

DS-K1105EMKB technical specification

What you'll need with it

• An access controller with RS-485 or Wiegand reader ports — DS-K2702X / DS-K2M002X
• 12 VDC from the controller or a local supply
• Cards or fobs to match the reader (see card type)

Frequently asked questions

Which cards does the DS-K1105EMKB read?

Both EM (125 kHz) and M1 Mifare (13.56 MHz) cards, per the datasheet.

Can I use PIN only?

The keypad supports PIN entry; the modes (card, PIN, card + PIN) are set on the access controller.

Is it weatherproof?

IP66, -40 °C to 65 °C — suitable for fully exposed positions.

How does it connect?

RS-485 or Wiegand to the controller; 12 VDC power.

Which controller do I need?

Any Hikvision K27 controller or DS-K2M002X module, or a third-party controller with Wiegand input.
