Product SKU: HA-DS-A2-HILOOK
Product Overview
The HiLook HA-DS-A2-HILOOK, based on the HA-DS-A2 door station, is a 720P 4-wire video intercom door station designed for straightforward visitor communication at residential and small-business entrances. It delivers a 1280 × 720 video stream at up to 60 fps with a wide 130° horizontal and 70° vertical field of view, helping capture visitors standing close to the entrance. Integrated infrared illumination provides supplemental lighting up to 3 metres, while the built-in omnidirectional microphone and loudspeaker support two-way voice communication through a compatible HiLook 4-wire indoor station. A physical call button provides simple visitor operation, and the integrated lock-control relay supports compatible electric door-release systems up to 30 V, 1 A. Power, video, audio and ground are carried through the 4-wire intercom connection, keeping the system simple and independent of an IP network.
Key Capabilities
720P HD Video
The door station provides a 1280 × 720 video stream at up to 60 fps, giving occupants a clear live view of visitors through a compatible HiLook 4-wire indoor monitor.
130° Wide-Angle View
A 130° horizontal and 70° vertical field of view helps capture visitors positioned close to the entrance and reduces the narrow viewing effect common with older intercom cameras.
3 m Infrared Supplement Light
Integrated infrared illumination provides supplemental light up to 3 metres, assisting visitor identification when the entrance has limited ambient lighting.
Built-In Two-Way Audio
An omnidirectional microphone and integrated loudspeaker allow occupants and visitors to communicate directly through the compatible 4-wire intercom system.
Electric Lock Control
One built-in relay supports compatible door-release installations up to 30 V at 1 A, allowing an occupant to unlock the entrance from the indoor station when the system is correctly configured.
Simple 4-Wire Installation
Video, ground, audio and power are carried between the door station and compatible indoor station through the 4-wire connection, providing a straightforward analogue intercom architecture without requiring network configuration.
Best For
- Residential entrances: Provides visitor video, two-way audio and compatible door-release control at homes and villas.
- Small offices: Suitable for controlled front entrances where staff need to see and speak with visitors before allowing entry.
- Simple intercom upgrades: Useful where a conventional 4-wire system is preferred over a network-based IP intercom.
- Wide entrance coverage: The 130° horizontal field of view helps capture visitors positioned close to the door station.
- Compatible electric-lock systems: The onboard relay can form part of a correctly designed door-release installation.
Why Choose the HA-DS-A2-HILOOK
The HA-DS-A2-HILOOK provides the essential intercom functions required at a single entrance without the complexity of an IP-based system. Its 720P video stream, wide 130° horizontal field of view and 3 metre IR illumination provide practical visitor viewing, while the built-in microphone and speaker support direct two-way communication. A single physical call button keeps operation simple for visitors, and the integrated 30 V, 1 A lock relay supports compatible door-release hardware. Available through Security Wholesalers, it is particularly suitable when a straightforward HiLook 4-wire system is preferred and the installation needs dependable visitor video, audio and door control without network configuration or mobile-app dependence.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This is a 4-wire analogue intercom door station rather than a standalone IP intercom. It should be paired with the compatible HiLook 4-wire indoor station and wired using the correct video, ground, audio and power conductors.
Buyer Tip: Cable distance depends on conductor size. Hikvision’s current guidance lists up to 10 metres for AWG24, over 10 to 30 metres for AWG20, over 30 to 50 metres for AWG18 and over 50 to 100 metres for AWG16.
Installation Note: Hikvision’s current HiLook intercom brochure does not specify an IP or IK protection rating for the HA-DS-A2. Do not assume the door station is weatherproof purely because it is installed at an entrance; consider the mounting location and environmental exposure before installation.

Ideal Use Cases
Home Entrances
See and speak with visitors at the front entrance through a compatible HiLook indoor monitor before opening the door.
Villas & Townhouses
The simple 4-wire architecture is well suited to smaller residential properties where a network-based intercom is unnecessary.
Small Offices
Allow reception or staff to communicate with visitors and operate a compatible electric door release from inside the premises.
Low-Light Entrances
Built-in IR illumination up to 3 metres helps provide a visitor image when surrounding entrance lighting is limited.
Existing 4-Wire Systems
Suitable when expanding or replacing components within a compatible HiLook HA-A2 4-wire intercom installation.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the HA-DS-A2-HILOOK if: You need a simple 720P 4-wire door station with a 130° field of view, built-in two-way audio, 3 metre IR and electric-lock relay control.
- Choose a HiLook IP door station if: Mobile-app control, network-based communication and IP-system expansion are required.
- Choose an IP65-rated model if: The door station will be directly exposed to weather and a documented outdoor ingress-protection rating is required.
- Confirm cable length before installation if: The run between door station and indoor station exceeds 10 metres, as larger conductors are recommended for longer distances.
FAQs
- Is the HiLook HA-DS-A2-HILOOK a 720P door station?
Yes. The underlying HiLook door-station model is HA-DS-A2, and Hikvision’s current HiLook intercom brochure specifies a 1280 × 720 video stream at up to 60 fps. It is designed for the HiLook 4-wire video intercom platform, providing a clear visitor image for compatible HA-IN-A2 indoor stations without requiring an IP network connection.
- What field of view does the HA-DS-A2 provide?
The HA-DS-A2 provides a wide 130° horizontal field of view and a 70° vertical field of view. This wide-angle coverage is useful at residential and small-business entrances because it helps show visitors standing close to the door station without requiring a narrow or highly directional camera position.
- Does the HA-DS-A2-HILOOK have night vision?
Yes. Hikvision specifies built-in infrared supplemental lighting with a range of up to 3 metres. The IR light helps the door station provide a usable visitor image when ambient lighting is low. The quoted 3 metre figure is the supplemental-light range, so actual image quality still depends on the installation position and surrounding lighting.
- Does the HA-DS-A2 support two-way audio?
Yes. The door station includes a built-in omnidirectional microphone and a built-in loudspeaker, allowing visitors and occupants to communicate through a compatible HiLook 4-wire indoor station. Audio and video are carried through the 4-wire intercom connection, so a separate network or external microphone and speaker are not required for normal intercom operation.
- Can the HA-DS-A2 control an electric door lock?
Yes. Hikvision specifies one lock-control relay rated up to 30 V at 1 A. This allows the door station to participate in a compatible electric-lock installation controlled from the indoor station. The lock type, power supply, fail-safe or fail-secure behaviour and any required emergency-release hardware should still be designed correctly for the complete access-control installation.
- How is the HA-DS-A2 powered?
The HA-DS-A2 is powered from the compatible indoor station through the 4-wire intercom system. The four-wire connection carries the required video, ground, audio and power conductors between the door station and indoor station. Correct cable grouping and conductor size are important, particularly on longer cable runs.
- How far can the 4-wire connection run?
Hikvision’s current HiLook intercom brochure provides cable guidance of up to 10 metres using AWG24, more than 10 to 30 metres using AWG20, more than 30 to 50 metres using AWG18, and more than 50 to 100 metres using AWG16. When planning the system through Security Wholesalers, choose cable size around the actual route and total transmission distance.
- Is the HA-DS-A2 weatherproof?
Hikvision’s current HiLook intercom brochure does not publish an IP or IK protection rating for the HA-DS-A2; the listed protection level is not specified. It should therefore not be advertised as IP-rated or weatherproof unless the exact supplied hardware documentation states otherwise. For exposed entrances, installation location and environmental protection should be considered before mounting.
