DS-K1201AMF
Hikvision DS-K1201AMF Fingerprint & Mifare Card Reader
The Hikvision DS-K1201AMF is a professional fingerprint and card reader designed for secure access control applications in offices, commercial buildings, residential estates, schools, warehouses, and other controlled-entry environments. Combining biometric fingerprint recognition with M1 card authentication, it provides a reliable and convenient solution for managing authorised access.
The reader supports multiple authentication modes, including fingerprint, card, and card + fingerprint verification, giving users flexible security options depending on the access control requirement. Its optical fingerprint module delivers fast and accurate recognition, with support for both 1:1 and 1:N fingerprint comparison modes.
With storage for up to 5,000 fingerprints, the DS-K1201AMF is suitable for small to medium-sized access control installations. It communicates via RS-485 and is designed with secure fingerprint data handling, CRC protocol checking, optical coupling isolation, and noise suppression for stable performance.
The unit features a built-in buzzer for status indication, tamper protection, and a durable IP65-rated housing, making it suitable for surface-mounted indoor or protected outdoor installations. Its compact design allows it to integrate neatly with Hikvision access control systems while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
