Hikvision DS-K1T804MF-1 fingerprint access control terminal

Hikvision DS-K1T804MF-1 fingerprint access control terminal

Hikvision DS-K1T804MF-1 fingerprint access control terminal represents a comprehensive security solution that combines advanced biometric authentication with practical time attendance management. This professional-grade terminal serves organizations requiring reliable access control while maintaining detailed attendance records for workforce management.

Built around Hikvision’s proven optical fingerprint recognition technology, this terminal delivers accurate authentication in various environmental conditions. Security administrators can manage up to 3,000 user profiles, each supporting multiple fingerprints for enhanced reliability and convenience.

Advanced Authentication Technologies

Optical Fingerprint Recognition System

The Hikvision DS-K1T804MF-1 fingerprint access control terminal employs a sophisticated optical fingerprint module that captures high-resolution biometric data. This technology supports both 1:N identification mode, where users simply place their finger without additional credentials, and 1:1 verification mode, which requires both card and fingerprint for enhanced security.

Each user profile accommodates up to 10 different fingerprints, allowing flexibility for individuals with varying fingerprint quality or those requiring backup authentication options. The system processes fingerprint data locally, ensuring fast response times and reducing network dependency.

Multi-Modal Authentication Options

Security administrators can configure various authentication combinations based on organizational requirements:

• Single-factor authentication: Fingerprint only or card only
• Two-factor authentication: Card plus fingerprint, card plus password, or fingerprint plus password
• Three-factor authentication: Card plus fingerprint plus password for maximum security
• Mifare1 card compatibility with built-in card number reading capabilities

Comprehensive Management Interface

Visual Display and User Experience

The 2.4-inch LCD display (320 × 240 resolution) provides clear visibility for users and administrators. The screen displays real-time information including current time, date, authentication results, and system status. Visual feedback helps users understand whether their authentication attempt was successful or requires retry.

Audio feedback through the integrated buzzer and loudspeaker provides audible confirmation of authentication events. Dual-color LED indicators (red/green) offer immediate visual status confirmation for power and system operation.

Extensive Storage and Event Management

The terminal maintains comprehensive logs with capacity for 100,000 access control events. This extensive storage ensures detailed audit trails for security compliance and operational analysis. Event data includes timestamps, user identification, authentication method used, and access results.

Administrators can export attendance data and system reports via the integrated USB port, facilitating integration with payroll systems and compliance reporting. The terminal supports various data formats for seamless integration with existing management software.

Connectivity and Integration Features

Network Communication Options

The Hikvision DS-K1T804MF-1 fingerprint access control terminal supports multiple communication protocols to accommodate diverse network infrastructures:

Wired Connectivity:

• TCP/IP networking for reliable data transmission
• RS-485 interface for secure door control unit integration
• Wiegand input/output (W26/W34) for compatibility with third-party systems

Wireless Capabilities:

• Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity eliminates the need for network cabling in certain installations
• EHome protocol support enables communication through public networks when direct connectivity isn’t available

Professional Installation Specifications

The terminal operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -10°C to 55°C (14°F to 131°F), making it suitable for various indoor and outdoor applications. The 12 VDC/2A power requirement ensures compatibility with standard security system power supplies.

Physical dimensions of 8.07″ × 3.01″ × 1.46″ (205mm × 76.5mm × 37mm) allow flexible mounting options while maintaining a professional appearance. The unit includes connections for door switches, magnetic sensors, and tamper detection switches for comprehensive security monitoring.

Time Attendance and Workforce Management

Flexible Shift Configuration

The system accommodates complex workforce scheduling with support for up to 32 normal shifts and 32 man-hour shifts. This flexibility enables organizations to manage various work patterns, including traditional fixed schedules, flexible hours, and project-based time tracking.

Attendance authentication operates in two distinct modes: authentication by person (suitable for offices) and authentication by device (appropriate for manufacturing or restricted areas). This dual approach allows organizations to tailor the system to specific operational requirements.

Automated Reporting and Data Management

The Hikvision DS-K1T804MF-1 fingerprint access control terminal generates attendance reports automatically, reducing administrative workload. Holiday schedules can be configured with support for up to 32 attendance holidays and 128 access control holidays, ensuring accurate time calculations year-round.

Data export capabilities include swiping card data, attendance reports, and system configuration backups. This functionality supports integration with human resources information systems and payroll processing software.

Security Features and Compliance

Anti-Tampering and Alarm Functions

Built-in security features protect against unauthorized access attempts and system manipulation. The terminal includes tamper detection switches that trigger alerts when someone attempts to remove or manipulate the device. Alarm inputs and outputs enable integration with broader security systems for comprehensive facility protection.

Invalid authentication attempts are monitored and logged, with configurable thresholds for triggering security alerts. Unlocking overtime alarms notify security personnel when doors remain unlocked beyond permitted durations.

Remote Management Capabilities

System administrators can register fingerprints remotely through management software, streamlining user enrollment processes. Firmware updates can be performed via USB or network connections, ensuring systems remain current with security patches and feature enhancements.

The terminal supports centralized management through Hikvision’s professional access control platforms, enabling administrators to monitor and control multiple terminals from a single interface.

Technical Reliability and Support

Hikvision’s engineering expertise ensures reliable performance in demanding commercial environments. The optical fingerprint technology resists common authentication bypass attempts while maintaining high accuracy rates across diverse user populations.

Manufacturing quality standards include rigorous testing protocols to ensure consistent performance across varying environmental conditions. Technical documentation and professional installation support help ensure proper system configuration and optimal performance.
