Hikvision DS-K1201MF Fingerprint Card Reader

Hikvision DS-K1201MF

The Hikvision DS-K1201MF delivers advanced biometric security through dual authentication technology. This sophisticated hikvision card reader combines MIFARE card functionality with fingerprint recognition capabilities. Security professionals can implement multiple verification methods to create robust access control systems tailored to their specific requirements.

Technical Features

Biometric Fingerprint Recognition System

Advanced fingerprint technology stores up to 5000 unique fingerprints for comprehensive user management. The Hikvision DS-K1201MF offers exceptional accuracy with False Acceptance Rate (FAR) ≤0.001% and False Rejection Rate (FRR) ≤0.01%. Comparison modes include both 1:1 verification and 1:N identification, with comparison times under 1 second for individual matches. Furthermore, 1:3000 comparisons complete within 1.5 seconds, ensuring rapid user processing.

Organizations benefit from reduced dependency on physical credentials through biometric authentication. Moreover, fingerprint storage eliminates concerns about lost or stolen access cards. High-accuracy recognition minimizes false readings while maintaining swift user verification speeds.

Multi-Modal Authentication Flexibility

Three distinct authentication modes provide security administrators with flexible access control options. Card-only mode offers traditional proximity access for standard security requirements. Fingerprint-only authentication eliminates physical credentials entirely for enhanced security applications. Additionally, combined card and fingerprint verification creates the highest security level for sensitive areas.

Security managers appreciate the ability to customize authentication requirements per user or location. Furthermore, multi-modal options accommodate different security zones within the same facility. Scalable authentication levels adapt to changing organizational security needs over time.

Professional Communication Infrastructure

RS-485 communication protocol ensures reliable data transmission at 19,200 bps with robust error checking. This industrial-standard interface maintains stable connections over extended cable runs without signal degradation. Built-in LED indicators provide clear power and communication status feedback for system monitoring. Additionally, audible prompts through the integrated buzzer confirm successful operations.

IT administrators value the proven reliability of RS-485 networks in professional environments. Moreover, standardized communication protocols facilitate integration with existing access control infrastructure. Clear status indicators simplify troubleshooting and system maintenance procedures.

Tamper-Resistant Security Architecture

Integrated tamper-resistant module protects against physical attacks and unauthorized access attempts. The Hikvision DS-K1201MF immediately triggers security alerts when tampering is detected, maintaining system integrity. 32-bit high-performance processor ensures rapid response times while supporting advanced security algorithms. Furthermore, robust construction withstands attempted forced entry or device manipulation.

Security officers benefit from automatic tamper detection and alert capabilities. Moreover, processor performance supports real-time threat assessment without compromising user experience. Hardware-level protection complements software security measures for comprehensive device protection.

Weather-Resistant Outdoor Installation

IP65 protection rating enables reliable outdoor deployment in challenging environmental conditions. Operating temperature range from -40°C to +70°C accommodates extreme climate variations without performance degradation. Humidity tolerance spans 10% to 90% non-condensing conditions for versatile installation locations. Additionally, sealed construction prevents dust and water ingress during harsh weather exposure.

Facility managers value the installation flexibility offered by weatherproof construction. Furthermore, wide temperature tolerance reduces climate-related maintenance requirements and operational concerns. Durable outdoor capability expands deployment options beyond traditional indoor locations.
