HIKVISION - DS-KH8381-WTE1 - 7" IPS Wi-Fi Video Intercom Indoor Station, Die-Cast Aluminium, PoE, 4 Relays

Hikvision DS-KH8381-WTE1 — 7" Wi-Fi indoor station in die-cast aluminium

The DS-KH8381-WTE1 is the metal-cased twin of the DS-KH8380-WTE1. Hikvision's two datasheets match line for line on video, radio, I/O and capacity; the differences are the die-cast aluminium alloy casing, an IPS panel in place of TFT, a physical button and a couple of millimetres on each dimension. Pair it with the metal DS-KV8113-WME1 door station for a matched entrance.

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.

Video, audio and storage

The 7" 1024 × 600 screen decodes H.265 and H.264, so the station pairs efficiently with the current 2 MP and 4 MP door stations. Audio codecs run from G.711 to Opus and AAC at 16/32/64 Kbps with noise suppression and echo cancellation. Message capacity is 200 captured pictures and 200 alarm records with a microSD card (up to 128 GB); without a card, pictures are held in 2 MB of RAM and 200 alarm records are still kept. Up to 16 network cameras can be viewed and 16 indoor extensions linked.

Four relays and eight inputs

Four relays rated 30 VDC 1 A can drive locks, a gate or lighting scenes; eight alarm inputs take door contacts and sensors; there is an RS-485 port and a 12 VDC 0.5 A output for a small accessory. TCP/IP, SIP and RTSP are supported.

Mounting and power

The die-cast aluminium alloy case measures 180.4 × 128.4 × 21.8 mm and can be flush-mounted, surface-mounted or placed on a table bracket. Power is PoE 802.3at or 12 VDC 1.5 A, consumption ≤ 12 W, operating range -10 °C to 50 °C. Embedded Linux with 32 MB ROM and 128 MB RAM.
