Product SKU: HA-DS-IP2
Product Overview
The HiLook HA-DS-IP2 is a 2MP outdoor IP video intercom door station designed for homes, offices and small commercial entrances requiring clear visitor video, two-way communication and network-based door control. Its 2MP HD camera combines True WDR, backlight compensation and digital noise reduction with a wide 129° horizontal and 75° vertical field of view, helping maintain useful facial detail across difficult entrance lighting. Integrated infrared supplemental lighting reaches up to 2.5 metres for low-light visitor viewing. The door station supports two-way audio through its built-in microphone and loudspeaker, while a lock-control relay allows integration with compatible electric door hardware. Standard IEEE 802.3af PoE, 12 VDC power, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi provide flexible connectivity, while IP65 protection supports appropriately installed outdoor entrances.
Key Capabilities
2MP HD Visitor Video
The HA-DS-IP2 uses a 2MP HD camera to provide clear visitor video as part of a compatible HiLook IP intercom system. Its broad viewing angle helps capture people standing close to the entrance.
True WDR Entrance Imaging
True WDR works with backlight compensation and digital noise reduction to improve visibility where bright daylight, shaded porches and strong backlighting would otherwise make visitors difficult to see clearly.
129° Wide-Angle Coverage
A 129° horizontal and 75° vertical field of view provides broad doorway coverage, helping reduce blind areas when a visitor stands close to the door station.
2.5 m Infrared Night Vision
Integrated low-illumination infrared supplemental lighting reaches up to 2.5 metres, helping maintain a usable visitor image when ambient entrance lighting is limited.
PoE, Ethernet & Wi-Fi
The door station supports IEEE 802.3af standard PoE or 12 VDC power, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet and 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, giving installers several connectivity options.
Electric Lock & System Integration
One lock-control relay rated up to 30 VDC at 2 A supports compatible electric door hardware, while RS-485 and network protocols provide integration within the HiLook IP intercom platform.
Best For
- Residential entrances: See and communicate with visitors before granting entry at homes, villas and townhouses.
- Small offices: Provides video calling and compatible electric-lock control at controlled entry doors.
- Outdoor doorways: IP65 protection supports appropriately installed exposed entrance locations.
- PoE installations: Power and network data can share one Ethernet cable when connected to a compatible PoE source.
- Expandable intercom systems: The HiLook IP platform supports additional indoor and door stations where larger properties require more entry points or monitors.
Why Choose the HA-DS-IP2
The HA-DS-IP2 provides a practical balance of image quality, outdoor protection and flexible network connectivity for modern residential and small-commercial intercom installations. Its 2MP camera, True WDR and wide 129° field of view help produce a useful visitor image across difficult doorway lighting, while 2.5 metre IR supports low-light viewing. Built-in audio hardware allows direct visitor communication, and the lock-control relay provides a straightforward path to compatible electric door release. PoE simplifies cabling where Ethernet is available, while Wi-Fi provides an additional network option. Available through Security Wholesalers, the HA-DS-IP2 is particularly useful where an expandable IP intercom platform with Hik-Connect compatibility and weather-resistant outdoor operation is required.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: PoE is generally the cleanest installation method when suitable Ethernet cabling is available because the HA-DS-IP2 can receive network data and power through the same cable from an IEEE 802.3af PoE source.
Buyer Tip: Plan the electric lock separately from the intercom. The onboard relay is rated up to 30 VDC at 2 A, but the lock voltage, current, fail-safe or fail-secure behaviour, power supply and any emergency-release hardware still need to suit the complete door design.

Ideal Use Cases
Home Entrances
Provide video calling and two-way communication at the main entrance before occupants decide whether to release the door.
Small Offices
Allow reception or staff to see and communicate with visitors while controlling a compatible electric lock.
Backlit Doorways
True WDR helps manage entrances where bright outdoor light and shaded porch areas appear within the same visitor image.
Low-Light Entrances
Built-in IR illumination up to 2.5 metres assists visitor viewing where ambient lighting is limited.
Expandable IP Intercom Systems
The HiLook IP platform can grow with additional compatible indoor monitors and door stations as the property expands.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the HA-DS-IP2 if: You need a 2MP outdoor IP door station with True WDR, 129° wide-angle coverage, 2.5 metre IR, PoE, Wi-Fi and IP65 protection.
- Choose the HA-KIT-IP2 if: You need the HA-DS-IP2 supplied as part of the complete HiLook IP intercom kit with compatible indoor monitor and associated kit components.
- Choose the HA-DS-A2-HILOOK if: The installation requires a simpler 4-wire analogue intercom rather than an Ethernet/IP-based solution.
- Confirm lock requirements before installation if: The entrance uses electric locking, as relay capacity, lock power and fail-safe or fail-secure behaviour need to match the full door-control design.
FAQs
-
- Is the HiLook HA-DS-IP2 a 2MP door station?
The HA-DS-IP2 uses a 2MP HD camera and is designed for the HiLook IP intercom platform. Hikvision’s current HiLook brochure specifies True WDR, backlight compensation, digital noise reduction and a wide 129° horizontal by 75° vertical field of view. This combination is intended to provide a clear visitor image across challenging entrance lighting while keeping the doorway coverage broad.
- How far does the HA-DS-IP2 infrared night vision reach?
Hikvision specifies low-illumination infrared supplemental lighting with a range of up to 2.5 metres. The IR lighting helps the door station maintain a usable visitor image when ambient light is limited. The 2.5 metre figure is the supplemental-light range rather than a guaranteed identification distance, so practical image quality still depends on mounting height, entrance layout and surrounding lighting.
- Does the HA-DS-IP2 support True WDR?
Yes. Hikvision’s current HiLook intercom specification lists True WDR for the HA-DS-IP2, together with backlight compensation and digital noise reduction. These image-processing functions are useful at entrances where bright daylight behind a visitor, shaded porches or mixed indoor and outdoor lighting can otherwise make faces difficult to see clearly.
- Can the HA-DS-IP2 use PoE and Wi-Fi?
Yes. The HA-DS-IP2 supports IEEE 802.3af standard PoE or 12 VDC power and also supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi using IEEE 802.11b/g/n. PoE is generally the simplest option where structured Ethernet cabling is available because power and network data can share one cable, while Wi-Fi provides an additional network option where appropriate.
- Can the HA-DS-IP2 control an electric door lock?
Yes. Hikvision specifies one lock-control relay rated up to 30 VDC at 2 A. This allows the HA-DS-IP2 to form part of a compatible electric-lock installation. The lock voltage, current draw, fail-safe or fail-secure behaviour, power supply and any required emergency-release hardware should still be designed correctly for the complete doorway.
- Is the HA-DS-IP2 weather resistant?
Yes. The HA-DS-IP2 carries an IP65 protection rating, making it suitable for appropriately installed outdoor entrance applications. IP65 provides protection against dust and water jets, but correct mounting, cable entry, sealing and environmental placement are still important. The installation should also avoid locations where the unit could be subjected to conditions outside its supported operating limits.
- How many indoor and door stations can the HiLook IP intercom system support?
Hikvision’s current HiLook IP intercom documentation shows support for one main indoor station plus up to 16 indoor station extensions, and one main door station plus up to 16 sub door stations. This gives the HA-DS-IP2 platform room to expand beyond a basic one-door, one-monitor installation when additional rooms or entrances need to be added.
- Who should choose the HiLook HA-DS-IP2?
Choose the HA-DS-IP2 when a home, office or small commercial entrance needs a 2MP IP door station with True WDR, 129° wide-angle coverage, 2.5 metre IR, PoE, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, IP65 protection and electric-lock control. When planning the system through Security Wholesalers, confirm the compatible indoor station, lock hardware, network topology and power method before installation.
