Hikvision Pro Dual-Freq Keypad Reader
Dual-Frequency Card + PIN Entry — The Workhorse Reader for Hikvision Access Control
The Hikvision DS-K1105EDKB is a Pro Series dual-frequency card reader with integrated backlit keypad — the slim-profile, weatherproof reader designed for door entries, boom gates and turnstiles across commercial, industrial, hospitality and multi-tenant residential sites. Supports both legacy EM 125 kHz and modern Mifare 13.56 MHz cards/fobs, plus 4-6-digit PIN entry via the backlit keypad. Wires back to your access controller over Wiegand 26/34 or secure OSDP v2, and the all-metal IP65 housing with anti-tamper switch handles outdoor mounting in Australian conditions.

Why this reader belongs on your door
Dual-Frequency Card Support
Supports both EM 125 kHz (legacy proximity cards in many existing buildings) AND Mifare 13.56 MHz (modern smart-card standard). A single reader handles a mixed card population during a system upgrade — no parallel readers required.
Keypad for Two-Factor Entry
Backlit 4×3 keypad accepts 4-6 digit PIN alongside card presentation. Two-factor (card + PIN) massively improves security at high-value doors — server rooms, cash offices, pharmacy dispensaries.
OSDP v2 with Secure Channel
Beyond standard Wiegand 26/34, this reader speaks OSDP v2 with secure channel — the modern replacement with encrypted card data on the wire. Protects against Wiegand sniffing on long cable runs.
IP65 + Anti-Tamper for Outdoor
Full dust-tight + water-jet protection means outdoor mounting on carpark doors, loading-bay entries and gate pedestals is fine. Built-in tamper switch triggers alarm on the controller if someone prises the reader off.
Slim Flush-Mount Profile
Low-profile black body mounts on a standard single-gang back box or direct to wall. Suits modern architectural finishes — retail, hotel BoH, body-corp common-area doors.
Works With Any Hikvision Pro Controller
Pairs with Hikvision's K2-series access controllers (DS-K2601 / K2602 / K2604) and the broader Pro Series intercom ecosystem managed via Hik-Central or iVMS-4200.
Where this reader belongs — AU use cases
Commercial Reception & Front Doors
Pin + card entry on glass or timber entry doors. Slim black profile sits cleanly against aluminium door frames.
Warehouses & Loading Bays
IP65 handles outdoor mounting beside roller doors. Supports existing warehouse card pools (often legacy EM) and modern Mifare upgrades.
Body Corp & Multi-Tenant Residential
Lobby and basement-door entry for apartment blocks, mixed-use developments and gated communities. Add a PIN for visitor access without issuing a card.
Hotels & Serviced Apartments
Back-of-house staff doors (laundry, kitchen, plant rooms). Keypad gives temporary PIN access for contractors.
Medical, Dental & Allied Health
Reception-to-clinical doors, drug cabinets, patient-records rooms. Two-factor card + PIN meets audit requirements for controlled-drug storage.
Gyms, Co-Working & Studios
24/7 entry doors for members. Mifare cards or fobs for primary access; keypad backup for forgotten-card members.

What you need to complete the system
This is a reader only — it reads the card / PIN and sends credentials over Wiegand or OSDP to an access controller, which makes the unlock decision and drives the electric strike or maglock. Typical build:
1. Access Controller
Hikvision Pro K2-series (K2601 single-door, K2602 two-door, K2604 four-door) or any 3rd-party controller with Wiegand/OSDP input.
2. Electric Strike or Maglock
LOX ES20 electric strike for timber/aluminium doors; maglocks for glass doors and high-security applications.
3. Exit Button
SECOR WEL1911 push-to-exit button on the egress side — required by fire code for free egress on most AU installs.
4. Cards & Fobs
EM 125 kHz cards for legacy integration; Mifare 13.56 MHz fobs/cards for modern deployments.
5. 12 V DC Power Supply
Access control-grade PSU with battery backup. Rate for reader + strike + controller combined + 30 % headroom.
6. Cat6 Wiring
Cat5e/Cat6 run from reader back to controller. OSDP supports up to 1200 m; Wiegand is limited to ~150 m.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a standalone door controller?No — it's a reader only. It needs to connect to a separate access controller (Hikvision Pro K2-series or any Wiegand/OSDP-compatible controller) that makes the actual unlock decision. If you want a standalone unit that both reads cards AND controls the strike directly, look at the DS-K1T502 face terminal range.
What's the difference between EM and Mifare?EM 125 kHz is the older proximity-card standard — simple unencrypted ID number, common in legacy buildings. Mifare 13.56 MHz is the modern smart-card standard with encrypted card memory. This reader handles both — right choice if your site has a mixed card population or you're mid-upgrade.
What is OSDP and why does it matter?OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) is the modern replacement for Wiegand — two-way communication, built-in tamper monitoring, encrypted card data on the wire (OSDP v2 Secure Channel), runs on standard RS-485 wiring up to 1200 m. For any new install on a long cable run or in a security-sensitive site, OSDP beats Wiegand.
How do I set up 2-factor (card + PIN)?The two-factor mode is configured on the access controller, not the reader. On a Hikvision Pro K2-series controller, enable "card + PIN" mode per door and program each cardholder's PIN alongside their card ID. The reader waits for both before sending the credential event.
Does it work outdoors?Yes — IP65 handles dust and water jets from any direction. Suitable for sheltered carpark entries, loading-bay side doors and gated-community pedestrian gates. For direct marine-spray installs, consider higher-grade IP66+ alternatives.
How many cards can it support?The reader doesn't store cards — card storage happens on the controller. A Hikvision Pro K2-series controller supports up to 100,000 cards across all connected readers.
Can I use it with a non-Hikvision access controller?Yes — Wiegand 26/34 is an industry standard supported by virtually every access controller (Gallagher, Inner Range, Honeywell, Bosch, HID). OSDP v2 is likewise widely supported on modern controllers.
What warranty?3-Year Australian warranty, serviced back-to-base through Hikvision Australia by CCTV Guru.
