DS-K1104M, Vandal-proof card reader, MiFare
The DS-K1104M is a vandal-resistant card reader from Hikvision's access control line. The card reader can be connected via RS-485 or Wiegand.
The beautifully designed card reader can be used both indoors and outdoors. The card reader can read MiFare cards and can be connected to Hikvision's Basic+ and Pro Complete door controllers.
RS-485 vs. Wiegand
Hikvision card readers such as the DS-K1104M feature connection options for both Wiegand and RS-485.
Wiegand has the potential disadvantage of requiring more cores (7) to make the correct connection. After this, however, no more programming is required in the reader and everything can be set via the software.
RS-485 has the advantage of requiring fewer cores (4). Another major advantage of RS-485 is that the reader supports two-way communication with the door controller. Also, with RS-485 you can work in a bus form instead of a star topology. With RS-485, however, for this reason it is necessary to give the readers the corresponding address via dipswitch. The sequence affects the setting possibilities and therefore require attention when making the setting. Readers seen as entering are numbered odd, readers used when exiting the protected zone are numbered even.
