variant of the DS-KD8003-IME1(B) modular door station — the same core camera and audio unit but without the built-in physical call button and finished in stainless steel rather than polycarbonate\/aluminium, intended for installation alongside a separate nametag or keypad calling module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it support PoE?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it supports standard Power over Ethernet, allowing you to power it and transmit data over a single network cable, simplifying installation at outdoor entry points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I answer door calls on my phone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, when paired with a compatible indoor station or configured on the network, door station calls can be routed to the Hik-Connect mobile app, letting you speak with visitors and release locks remotely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the door station weatherproof?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it carries an IP65 ingress protection rating and a stainless steel housing, making it highly resistant to dust, rain, and salt air, which suits coastal and industrial installations better than standard finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the night vision work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt uses a built-in infrared supplement light that automatically activates in low-light conditions, maintaining clear facial detail on the video feed after dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it trigger electric locks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the unit provides two lock relay outputs and a direct 12V\/500mA power feed, enough to connect and trigger an electric strike or magnetic lock without an additional power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I choose this over the standard DS-KD8003-IME1(B)?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose this variant where a nametag, keypad, or card module will handle visitor calling instead of a single button, or where the stainless steel finish is needed for durability against weather and corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat mounting bracket does it need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt requires a separate flush (DS-KD-ACF series) or surface (DS-KD-ACW series) mounting bracket, purchased separately, matching the number of modules in the final panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the camera field of view?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt uses a fisheye lens with a wide field of view of 146° horizontal and 82° vertical, giving broad coverage of the entryway in a single frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan multiple sub-modules be added later?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the main unit supports up to 8 sub-modules such as nametag panels, keypads, and card readers, so the installation can be expanded as tenant requirements grow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hikvision","offers":[{"title":"Default
