Product SKU: DS-KAB673-S1
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-KAB673-S1 is a protective shield designed specifically for DS-K1T673 series Face Recognition Access Control Terminals. Its purpose-built shape provides a dedicated protective surround for compatible terminals while maintaining a neat, integrated appearance at the installation point. Manufactured from lightweight PC polycarbonate, the shield measures approximately 135 × 80 × 250 mm and weighs just 161.4 g, making it practical to incorporate into compatible wall-mounted access-control installations. Because the accessory is engineered around the DS-K1T673 terminal family rather than as a universal enclosure, it is particularly useful where installers want a clean, model-matched protective accessory without introducing a bulky generic housing.
Key Capabilities
Designed for DS-K1T673 Series
The shield is specifically designed for Hikvision DS-K1T673 series Face Recognition Terminals, providing a model-matched protective accessory rather than a generic cover.
Polycarbonate Construction
PC polycarbonate construction keeps the shield lightweight while providing a rigid protective surround around the compatible terminal.
Compact Model-Matched Design
Dimensions of approximately 135 × 80 × 250 mm are designed around the compatible terminal family, helping maintain a clean installation footprint.
Lightweight Installation Accessory
At approximately 161.4 g, the shield adds relatively little weight to the overall access-control installation while providing a dedicated protective structure around the terminal.
Best For
- DS-K1T673 Terminal Installations: Designed specifically for compatible DS-K1T673 series face recognition terminals.
- Commercial Entrances: Useful where a face recognition terminal requires a cleaner protective surround at an office, warehouse or commercial doorway.
- Wall-Mounted Access Control: Suitable for installations where the compatible terminal is positioned against a flat mounting surface.
- Terminal Protection Upgrades: A practical accessory where an existing compatible DS-K1T673 installation needs a purpose-designed protective shield.
Why Choose the DS-KAB673-S1
The DS-KAB673-S1 is a straightforward choice when a DS-K1T673 series face recognition terminal requires a purpose-built protective shield rather than a universal enclosure. Its model-specific dimensions help maintain a tidy installation, while lightweight polycarbonate construction avoids adding unnecessary bulk around the terminal. Because Hikvision designed the accessory specifically for the DS-K1T673 family, compatibility is clearer than with generic third-party covers. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-KAB673-S1 is particularly suitable for installers who want a clean, manufacturer-matched accessory around a compatible face recognition terminal.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Confirm the exact access-control terminal model before ordering. Hikvision specifies this shield for the DS-K1T673 series, so it should not be assumed to fit terminals from other Hikvision access-control families.
Buyer Tip: Allow approximately 135 mm of width, 80 mm of depth and 250 mm of height for the shield itself, then check surrounding wall space and nearby door hardware to ensure the complete installation will fit without interference.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the DS-KAB673-S1 if: Your project uses a compatible DS-K1T673 series face recognition terminal and requires its dedicated protective shield.
- Confirm the terminal model first if: The installation uses a different Hikvision face terminal, as accessory dimensions and mounting arrangements vary between product families.
- Check available wall space if: The terminal is positioned close to a door frame, intercom, switch, lock hardware or another device that could interfere with the 135 × 80 × 250 mm shield.
- Assess environmental requirements separately if: A defined IP rating is mandatory, because Hikvision does not specify a separate ingress-protection rating for the DS-KAB673-S1 shield.
FAQs
- What is the Hikvision DS-KAB673-S1 designed for?
The Hikvision DS-KAB673-S1 is a protective shield designed for DS-K1T673 series face recognition access control terminals. It surrounds the terminal to provide a more sheltered installation arrangement and is intended as a model-specific accessory rather than a universal access-control cover. - Which Hikvision terminals are compatible with the DS-KAB673-S1?
Hikvision specifies the DS-KAB673-S1 for the DS-K1T673 series Face Recognition Terminal. Because Hikvision access-control accessories are model-specific, confirm the exact terminal model before installation if the project uses a different product family or a later hardware revision. - What material is the DS-KAB673-S1 made from?
The DS-KAB673-S1 is manufactured from PC, or polycarbonate. This keeps the shield relatively lightweight while providing a rigid protective surround for the compatible access-control terminal. Hikvision lists the finished shield at approximately 161.4 grams. - What are the dimensions of the DS-KAB673-S1?
The DS-KAB673-S1 measures approximately 135 mm × 80 mm × 250 mm. These dimensions should be checked against the available wall area, terminal position and nearby door hardware before installation so the shield does not interfere with door operation or other equipment. - Does the DS-KAB673-S1 have an IP rating?
Hikvision’s current DS-KAB673-S1 specification lists its dimensions, weight, material and DS-K1T673-series compatibility, but it does not publish a separate IP rating for the shield itself. For Security Wholesalers installations, the environmental rating of the complete terminal installation should therefore be assessed separately. - Is the DS-KAB673-S1 supplied as a complete access-control terminal?
No. The DS-KAB673-S1 is an accessory only. It is a protective shield for compatible DS-K1T673 series face recognition terminals and does not include the terminal, card reader, controller, lock, power supply or other access-control hardware unless those items are separately specified.
