Hikvision DS-K1T201A Series in the UAE

The Hikvision DS-K1T201A is a wall-mounted fingerprint and card terminal with a 2.8-inch screen and a touch keypad.

Best for

Main office, factory and warehouse doors with a long card list, where staff also need a fingerprint option and the terminal itself controls the lock.

Where it is the wrong choice

Hikvision lists it as an access control terminal, not an attendance terminal — shift reports come from the software, not from the device. The optical sensor struggles with worn, dry or dirty fingers, and no IP rating is published, so keep it under cover.

Main office, factory and warehouse doors with a long card list, where staff also need a fingerprint option and the terminal itself controls the lock.

How does the Hikvision DS-K1T201A Series connect?

It supports TCP/IP, Wi-Fi, RS-485, Wiegand 26/34, USB. In UAE installations we normally run terminals on wired Ethernet, keeping wireless as the fallback where cabling is impractical.

Not on its own — it is an access control device. It is managed in Hikvision's iVMS-4200 client or HikCentral, over ISAPI and ISUP 5.0. If you need attendance as well, we pair it with an attendance terminal at the main entrance.
