Product SKU: DS-K1107AE
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-K1107AE is a Pro Series access-control card reader designed for straightforward EM card authentication at commercial, industrial and controlled-access entrances. Its built-in 125 kHz EM card reading module works with compatible low-frequency credentials, while RS-485, Wiegand W26/W34 and OSDP communication provide flexible integration with supported access controllers. The reader also includes tamper alarm support, a built-in buzzer for reading-status feedback and a watchdog function designed to help recover from operating exceptions. With a compact 115 × 44 × 22 mm housing, low 2 W maximum power consumption and IP65 protection, the DS-K1107AE suits wall-mounted access points where a simple, durable card-only reader is preferred.
Key Capabilities
125 kHz EM Card Reading
The built-in EM card module operates at 125 kHz, making the reader suitable for compatible low-frequency proximity card access systems.
RS-485, Wiegand & OSDP
Multiple communication options include RS-485, Wiegand W26/W34 and OSDP, giving installers flexibility when integrating the reader with compatible access-control hardware.
Tamper Alarm Support
A dedicated tamper interface allows the system to detect supported tampering events when the reader is integrated and configured with a compatible controller.
IP65 Weather Resistance
The IP65-rated housing supports appropriately installed outdoor and exposed entrance applications while also suiting indoor commercial access points.
Watchdog Recovery
The internal watchdog design is intended to help the reader recover automatically if an operating exception occurs, supporting long-term access-control reliability.
Compact Low-Power Design
At approximately 115 mm high and with power consumption of no more than 2 W, the reader provides a compact solution for card-only door access points.
Best For
- Office Entrances: Simple EM card authentication suits staff doors and controlled internal areas.
- Warehouses & Commercial Sites: IP65 protection and compact wall mounting suit appropriately installed access points.
- Existing EM Card Systems: The 125 kHz reader suits projects already using compatible EM credentials.
- Controller-Based Access Systems: RS-485, OSDP and Wiegand provide flexible integration choices.
- Space-Constrained Door Frames: The slim 44 mm-wide housing works well where a larger terminal would be impractical.
Why Choose the DS-K1107AE
The DS-K1107AE is a practical choice where the project requires reliable 125 kHz EM card access without the added complexity of a keypad, QR reader or biometric terminal. Its support for RS-485, Wiegand W26/W34 and OSDP allows the installer to choose an appropriate interface for the controller architecture, while tamper alarm support, online upgrades and watchdog recovery add useful operational features. The IP65 enclosure and compact housing make it suitable for a wide range of door locations. Available through Security Wholesalers, the DS-K1107AE is especially well suited to straightforward card-only access-control deployments using compatible EM credentials.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This model reads 125 kHz EM cards only. If the site uses M1, DESFire, Felica or another credential technology, select a compatible Hikvision reader designed for that card type rather than assuming cross-compatibility.
Buyer Tip: The reader is designed for wall mounting with screws and Hikvision states that gang-box installation is not supported. Plan the mounting surface and cable route before final installation.

Ideal Use Cases
Office Access
A compact card-only reader for staff entrances, internal controlled doors and office access points using compatible EM credentials.
Warehouse Entrances
IP65 protection and a wide operating temperature range suit appropriately installed access points in warehouse and commercial environments.
Existing EM Credential Sites
The 125 kHz EM module makes the reader suitable for systems that already use compatible low-frequency proximity cards.
Outdoor Doorways
IP65 weather resistance supports appropriately protected external access points when cabling and mounting are installed correctly.
Compact Door Frames
The narrow 44 mm body suits locations where available wall or frame space is limited.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose the DS-K1107AE if: You need a compact 125 kHz EM card reader with RS-485, Wiegand and OSDP support.
- Choose a keypad model if: The door also requires PIN entry or card-and-PIN authentication.
- Choose another card technology if: Existing credentials are M1, DESFire, Felica or another format rather than 125 kHz EM.
- Plan mounting carefully if: The installation normally uses a gang box, because Hikvision specifies screw wall mounting and states that this reader does not support gang-box installation.
FAQs
-
- What card type does the Hikvision DS-K1107AE support?
The Hikvision DS-K1107AE is designed for 125 kHz EM card credentials. Hikvision specifies a built-in EM card reading module operating at 125 kHz, making it suitable for access-control systems that already use compatible low-frequency EM cards. If a site uses M1, DESFire or another credential technology, a different compatible reader should be selected.
- Which communication interfaces does the DS-K1107AE support?
The DS-K1107AE supports RS-485, Wiegand and OSDP communication. Hikvision specifies Wiegand W26 and W34 support, with the Wiegand interface selected by DIP switch. The current datasheet also lists one RS-485 interface with OSDP support at 19200 baud. The chosen protocol should match the connected access controller and site wiring.
- Does the DS-K1107AE have tamper protection?
Yes. Hikvision specifies a tamper interface and tampering alarm support for the DS-K1107AE. The reader also includes a built-in buzzer for reading-status feedback and a watchdog design intended to help the unit recover automatically if an operating exception occurs.
- Can the DS-K1107AE be installed outdoors?
Yes. Hikvision rates the DS-K1107AE to IP65 and specifies an operating temperature range from -20°C to 65°C with working humidity from 10% to 90% non-condensing. For Security Wholesalers installations, the mounting surface, cable entry and controller wiring should still be designed so the completed installation maintains the required environmental protection.
- What power supply does the DS-K1107AE require?
The DS-K1107AE operates from a 12 VDC power supply and has a stated maximum power consumption of 2 W. Power and data wiring should be selected to suit the chosen RS-485, OSDP or Wiegand connection method and the requirements of the connected access-control controller.
- What are the dimensions of the DS-K1107AE?
The DS-K1107AE measures approximately 115 mm × 44 mm × 22 mm and has a net weight of about 0.13 kg. Hikvision specifies wall mounting with screws and notes that the reader does not support gang-box installation, so the mounting surface and cable route should be planned accordingly.
