Product Description
The DS-KH8520-WTE1 is Hikvision's 10.1-inch IP indoor monitor for video door entry — it answers calls from a compatible door station, lets you unlock the door, and shows you who's there before you decide.
This is an IP-based indoor station, meaning it works over your network with Hikvision's IP intercom and access control range rather than older analogue two-wire panels. Check any door station or system you already own is from the same IP family before ordering, as the two ranges aren't interchangeable.
The 1024 × 600 touch screen handles the whole job: answering calls, viewing live footage from the door station, and pulling up feeds from other cameras installed in shared or public areas of a building. A setup wizard on the unit itself walks through configuration, so getting the system running doesn't need a laptop.
Why it suits flats, offices and multi-door sites
- Hik-Connect app support — answer calls, unlock doors and check live views from a phone when away from the panel
- Voice messages when a call goes unanswered, so visitors can leave word
- Alarm linkage and elevator access control — useful in apartment blocks where a lift needs restricting to authorised floors
Because it's an indoor station rather than a standalone camera, its usefulness depends entirely on pairing it with a compatible Hikvision IP door station — worth confirming your existing setup before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work with my existing analogue video intercom?
No — the DS-KH8520-WTE1 is an IP-based indoor station designed for Hikvision's IP intercom and access control range, so it needs an IP door station rather than an older analogue two-wire panel.
Can I use it to view other CCTV cameras, not just the door?
Yes, alongside the door station feed it supports live view from additional cameras installed in public or shared areas, as set up within the system.
Can I answer calls and unlock the door remotely from my phone?
Yes, it supports the Hik-Connect mobile app, which allows remote call answering, door unlocking and live camera viewing away from the monitor itself.
Does it need a computer to set up?
No — it has a built-in setup wizard on the touch screen so the intercom system can be configured directly from the unit.
