§ 01Overview
What the DS-PDMC-EG2-WB is
The Hikvision DS-PDMC-EG2-WB is a wireless magnetic contact, also called a reed switch, for the AX PRO alarm range.
It comes in two parts - a transmitter and a magnet - that you fit to the fixed frame and moving leaf of a door or window.
When the door or window opens and the magnet moves away from the transmitter by more than about 43 millimetres, the contact signals the alarm panel, making it ideal for protecting entry points around the perimeter of a home or business.
It uses Hikvision's Tri-X two-way wireless on 433 MHz, secured with AES-128 encryption and frequency hopping, with a free-space range up to 1.2 km so it reaches the panel reliably across a building.
Two-way signalling means the panel confirms each message and the device reports its own status, including signal strength and environment temperature.
Front and rear tamper switches alert you if someone tries to open or remove the unit.
A single CR123A battery lasts up to five years, and the device enrols quickly by powering up, by remote ID or by scanning a QR code.
It is an indoor contact and is genuine Australian Hikvision stock with local warranty and support.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-PDMC-EG2-WB
Encrypted two-way wireless
Tri-X 433 MHz with AES-128 encryption and frequency hopping gives a confirmed, jam-resistant link to the panel, not the one-way signalling of basic contacts.
Years between battery changes
A single CR123A lasts up to five years, with a low-battery warning to the panel, so maintenance is minimal.
Tamper-protected
Front and rear tamper switches mean any attempt to open or remove the contact raises an alert.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Entry doors
Fit to front, back and garage internal doors so the alarm knows the instant one is opened.
Windows
Protect ground-floor and accessible windows around the perimeter of a home or office.
Internal doors to protected rooms
Add to the door of a store room, office or any area you want monitored separately.
Expanding an AX PRO system
Add contacts to cover more entry points as you build out a wireless alarm.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One DS-PDMC-EG2-WB wireless contact (transmitter and magnet) with battery and mounting hardware. A compatible Hikvision AX PRO alarm system is required and not included.
Installation requirements
Mount the transmitter on the door or window frame and the magnet on the moving leaf, aligned within the trigger gap. Enrol it to your AX PRO panel by power-up, remote ID or QR code, assign it to a zone, and test that opening the door or window triggers the system before arming. Keep it within reliable wireless range of the panel or add a repeater on a large property.
