HIKVISION - DS-KD8005-IME1 - 5 MP Modular Video Intercom Door Station Main Unit, H.265, PoE, IP65 IK08

Hikvision DS-KD8005-IME1 — 5 MP modular door station main unit for the KD8 range

The DS-KD8005-IME1 is the heart of a KD8 modular panel and the successor to the DS-KD8003-IME1 already on the site. The camera is now 5 MP at 3200 × 1800 with a 134° horizontal view, so the indoor station sees the whole doorstep rather than a head-and-shoulders crop, and the system capacity — 1000 linked indoor stations and 99 sub door stations — is sized for apartment developments. Add DS-KD-K12 nametag modules for the flats, a DS-KD-E reader or DS-KD-TDM touch display for entry, and the DS-KABD8003-RS3 rain shield to suit. A stainless-steel-finish version is listed separately.

Hikvision's KD8 modular door station is built from a main unit (camera, microphone, speaker and one call button) plus sub-modules that clip into a common frame: nametag buttons, card reader, keypad, display, indicator and induction loop. Modules connect to the main unit over RS-485 and take their 12 VDC from it, so a panel for a block of flats is specified module by module. Tell us the flat count and the entrance and we will draw up the frame, modules and rain shield.

This is part of Hikvision's IP video intercom range: door stations, indoor stations and accessories that connect over a standard network (PoE or 12 VDC) and are configured with the iVMS-4200 client or the Hik-Connect app. IP-series products are designed to be used together within that range. If you are adding to an existing system, tell us what is installed and we will confirm what fits before you order.

Camera

A 5 MP sensor delivering 3200 × 1800 across a 134° horizontal by 82° vertical field of view, with 100 dB WDR for a visitor backlit by the street and low-illumination IR supplement lighting for night. Compression is H.265, H.264 or MJPEG, and the stream can be pulled into a recorder over RTSP/ONVIF. Audio is a built-in omnidirectional microphone and loudspeaker rated 80 dB at 30 cm, with noise suppression and echo cancellation.

Door control and modules

Two lock relays rated 30 VDC 2 A, two exit-button inputs and two door-contact inputs cover an outer and inner door; four alarm inputs (two exit buttons and two door contacts by default) and a tamper switch complete the local I/O. The RS-485 port is dedicated to Hikvision sub-modules — nametag buttons, EM reader, indicator, induction loop, touch display and the DS-KD-AL8 alarm-input box — which take their 12 VDC from the main unit. Local memory holds 2000 users.
