Answer:
The station requires either a 12 VDC power supply or proprietary 24 VDC Power Over Network Cable via Hikvision DS-KAD606 or DS-KAD612 distribution switches; standard IEEE 802.3af/at PoE is not supported. It networks via standard Cat5e/Cat6 cabling and streams video via RTSP.
When planning system architecture for the DS-KV8102-IP, note the following interface and compatibility requirements:
- Power Infrastructure: This unit does not accept standard IEEE 802.3af/at PoE power. Power must be delivered either through a dedicated local 12 VDC supply or through Hikvision's proprietary 24 VDC Power Over Network Cable distribution switches (such as DS-KAD606 and DS-KAD612).
- Indoor Monitors: Directly compatible over TCP/IP with Hikvision video intercom indoor touchscreen stations, including the DS-KH6210, DS-KH6310, DS-KH6320, and DS-KH8301 series.
- Cabling & Video Streams: Connects using standard RJ-45 Cat5e or Cat6 structured cabling. It broadcasts native RTSP video streams, enabling live feeds to be recorded directly onto standard network video recorders (NVRs) or third-party VMS platforms.
