The DS-KD-ACW1 is the single-module surface wall mounting bracket for Hikvision's DS-KD8003 modular door station range.
Surface mounting is the practical choice when cutting a recess into the wall is not an option — solid brick, stone, a listed frontage, or a retrofit where the cabling already runs on the surface. The bracket fixes directly to the face of the wall and carries an angled rain shield, which matters on an exposed entrance: it keeps direct rainfall off the camera lens and call button rather than letting water sit on the panel.
Single-module size takes a DS-KD8003 camera module on its own, which covers the straightforward case of a video door station with a single call button. For builds that add a keypad or card reader, step up to the DS-KD-ACW2 or DS-KD-ACW3.
