Description

The Hikvision DS-KAS261 is a complete, budget-friendly Fingerprint Access Control Kit designed to secure a single door using biometric and card-based technology. It is a popular “starter pack” for small businesses that want professional-grade security without the higher cost of face recognition systems.

What is in the Kit?

• Fingerprint Terminal: Includes the DS-K1T804A series terminal, which features a physical keypad and a 2.4-inch color screen.
• Electromagnetic Lock: A standard single-door magnetic lock (typically with 280kg of holding force) to keep the door physically shut.
• Exit Button: A simple push-button for users to exit from the inside.
• Power Supply: A dedicated power adapter to provide the 12V DC required for both the terminal and the lock.

Key Features

• Optical Fingerprint Scanner: Uses a high-performance optical module to identify fingerprints quickly and accurately.
• Dual-Functionality: It works as both an Access Control device (opening the door) and a Time Attendance terminal (recording clock-in/out times).
• Multiple Verification Methods: Users can enter via Fingerprint, Mifare Card, or a PIN code.
• Standalone or Networked: You can set it up entirely on the device itself using the keypad, or manage it via a PC using iVMS-4200 software.

Best Use Cases

• Retail Back Offices: Restricting access to inventory or cash rooms.
• Small Workshops: Tracking employee hours while keeping the main entrance secure.
• Apartment Gyms/Common Areas: Replacing traditional keys with easily manageable fingerprints or key fobs.
