Key Capabilities
2MP Wide-Angle Video
The DS-KD7003EY-IME2 uses a 2MP camera with a 133° horizontal and 82° vertical field of view, helping capture visitors clearly across a wide entry area.
WDR and IR Supplement Light
Wide Dynamic Range and IR supplement light support improve visibility in challenging entry conditions, including backlit doors, shaded areas and low-light visitor calls.
2-Wire HD Intercom Architecture
The door station is designed for Hikvision 2-wire HD systems, making it useful for retrofit intercom projects where existing two-wire cabling may be reused in a compatible layout.
Two-Lock Control
Two-lock control support gives installers more flexibility for pedestrian gates, main entry doors or secondary door release requirements in compatible intercom systems.
Modular Door Station Support
The main unit is compatible with released sub-modules, allowing installers to build a customised modular entry station with the required buttons, keypad, card reader or display modules.
Best For
- 2-Wire HD Video Intercom Systems: Designed for compatible Hikvision 2-wire HD door station and indoor station deployments.
- Apartment and Villa Entries: Suitable for residential entry points where visitor video calling and door release are required.
- Retrofit Intercom Projects: Useful where a 2-wire HD architecture is preferred to simplify installation compared with new network cabling.
- Commercial and Office Doors: Practical for small business entrances, reception doors, staff entries and controlled visitor access points.
- Modular Entry Panels: Best used where the door station needs to be expanded with compatible Hikvision sub-modules and mounting accessories.
Why Choose the DS-KD7003EY-IME2
The DS-KD7003EY-IME2 is a strong choice when a Hikvision 2-wire HD intercom system needs a compact modular door station with wide-angle video, WDR and practical lock control. Its 2MP camera and 133° field of view help improve visitor visibility, while the built-in microphone and speaker support two-way communication with compatible indoor stations. The adjustable button layout and support for released sub-modules make it more flexible than a fixed single-purpose door station. For intercom projects supplied through Security Wholesalers, this model should be selected after confirming the required distributor, indoor stations, cable topology, lock wiring and mounting accessories.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Choose the DS-KD7003EY-IME2 when the project uses Hikvision 2-wire HD architecture and needs a modular door station with 2MP video, wide viewing angle, two-way audio and lock control. If the site is IP-only, confirm whether a different modular IP door station is required.
Installation Tip: Confirm the 2-wire HD distributor, indoor station model, rotary switch addressing, button layout, lock power, cable distance, mounting frame, rain shield and any required sub-modules before installation.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a Hikvision 2-wire HD modular door station with 2MP wide-angle video, WDR, IR supplement light, two-way audio, adjustable button layout and two-lock control.
- Choose a different model if: Your system uses IP-only wiring, requires a different intercom architecture, needs a non-modular villa station or requires a different number of built-in call buttons.
- Check before ordering: Confirm the 2-wire HD distributor, indoor station model, cable path, lock wiring, mounting frame, rain shield, sub-module requirements and system addressing plan.
FAQs
- What is the Hikvision DS-KD7003EY-IME2 used for?
The DS-KD7003EY-IME2 is used as a modular 2-wire HD video intercom door station main unit. It allows visitors to call compatible indoor stations, supports two-way audio communication and can control door release functions when installed with the correct distributor, indoor station and lock wiring.
- What camera does the DS-KD7003EY-IME2 have?
The DS-KD7003EY-IME2 includes a 2MP camera with a 133° horizontal and 82° vertical field of view. This wide viewing angle helps capture visitors at the entry point more effectively than a narrow-view camera, especially around doors and gates.
- Does this door station support WDR?
Yes. The DS-KD7003EY-IME2 supports WDR, which helps improve visibility where lighting is difficult, such as bright backgrounds, shaded entryways or mixed indoor-outdoor light conditions around the door station.
- Does the DS-KD7003EY-IME2 work in low light?
Yes. The door station supports low illumination and includes IR supplement light to help improve visitor visibility in low-light conditions. Camera performance still depends on installation height, surrounding lighting, reflective surfaces and the final entry environment.
- Can this door station control locks?
Yes. The DS-KD7003EY-IME2 supports two-lock control, making it suitable for installations that may need to control a pedestrian gate and main door, or another compatible two-lock arrangement. Lock wiring and power requirements should be confirmed before installation.
- Is this model suitable for retrofit intercom upgrades?
Yes. The DS-KD7003EY-IME2 is designed for Hikvision 2-wire HD systems, which can suit retrofit projects where existing 2-wire cabling may be used in a compatible layout. For projects supplied through Security Wholesalers, the existing cable condition and system topology should be checked first.
- Can the button layout be changed?
Yes. The DS-KD7003EY-IME2 supports adjustable single and double button layouts. This gives installers flexibility when configuring the door station for one call destination, two call destinations or a layout that matches the selected modular setup.
- What should be checked before installation?
Before installation, confirm the compatible 2-wire HD distributor, indoor station model, cable distance, lock control wiring, power requirements, rotary switch addressing, AP mode configuration, mounting frame, rain shield and any required Hikvision sub-modules for the final door station layout.
