Hikvision DS-KD-IN – Indicator Module for Modular Video Intercom, IP65

The Hikvision DS-KD-IN is an indicator expansion module for the KD8 Pro series modular IP video intercom system (2nd generation). Its illuminated LED icons clearly communicate the current status of the door station to the visitor – whether a call is in progress, two-way audio is active, or the door has been unlocked. The module is powered directly via the adjacent module (typically the DS-KD8003-IME1 main camera module, which itself is powered by 12 V DC or PoE 802.3af), and is compatible with any Hikvision modular frame configuration supporting both flush and surface mounting.
