Key Capabilities
Information Module for Modular Door Stations
The DS-KD-INFO adds a dedicated information area to compatible KD8 Series modular door station systems, helping visitors understand entry instructions, contact guidance or building information.
IP65 Protected Design
IP65 protection supports suitable outdoor entry installations when the module is installed with compatible Hikvision housings, frames and correct sealing.

Best For
- Apartment Building Entries: Suitable for shared residential entries where visitors need clear information or calling instructions.
- Office and Commercial Lobbies: Useful for multi-tenant buildings where an intercom panel needs building or visitor guidance.
- Gated Access Points: Practical for external entry stations where instructions may be needed before visitors call or unlock access.
- Multi-Module Door Stations: A good addition to Hikvision KD8 modular systems using camera, keypad, card reader, display or name tag modules.
- Outdoor Intercom Panels: Suitable for compatible outdoor modular door station installations requiring IP65 protection and automatic backlight support.
Why Choose the DS-KD-INFO
The DS-KD-INFO is a practical choice when a Hikvision KD8 modular door station needs a dedicated area for entry information instead of relying only on buttons, keypad labels or separate signage. In apartment buildings, commercial sites and gated entries, clear information at the intercom can reduce confusion and help visitors use the correct module or calling method. The IP65 protection and automatic backlight switching make it suitable for professional outdoor-facing intercom layouts when installed with compatible mounting hardware. For projects supplied through Security Wholesalers, this module should be selected during the system design stage so the installer can confirm the main unit, frame size, module order and visitor workflow.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Choose the DS-KD-INFO when the modular door station needs a dedicated information panel. If visitors need to scroll contacts, enter PINs or call individual residents directly, confirm whether a display, keypad or name tag module is also required.
Installation Tip: Confirm the KD8 main unit, mounting frame, flush or surface housing, rain shield, power/module connection, module order and available space before installation.

FAQs

For projects supplied through Security Wholesalers, the final module mix should match the visitor workflow. - Can this module be used outdoors?
