Product Description
The Hikvision DS-KD8003-IME1(B) is the camera-equipped main unit for a Hikvision KD series modular IP video intercom system — the door-station part that visitors see and speak into.
What it does in practice: it captures video, handles two-way audio, and reads access cards, all in one module. A built-in 2MP HD camera with a wide-angle lens gives a clear view of whoever's at the door, and infrared illumination keeps that image usable after dark. The microphone and speaker include noise suppression and echo cancellation, so calls to an indoor station or the Hikvision mobile app stay intelligible rather than turning into a feedback loop.
Access control
An integrated Mifare 13.56 MHz RFID reader lets residents or staff unlock the door with a contactless card or fob — no separate reader module needed for basic access.
Fitting it in
Connection is via TCP/IP Ethernet, so it sits on a standard network alongside other Hikvision intercom hardware. It's modular, meaning it installs into Hikvision flush or surface mount frames and can be paired with extra modules such as keypads or display units if you need more than the basics.
Where it's suited
Residential entrances, apartment blocks, office doors and other commercial access points that need IP-based video intercom rather than a standalone doorbell camera.
