01Overview

What the DS-PWA96-M-WB is

The Hikvision DS-PWA96-M-WB is a wireless control panel from the AX PRO range, the central hub that ties an entire wireless alarm system together. It supports up to 96 wireless zones - including up to 48 PIRCAM camera detectors - organised into as many as 32 separate areas, so it scales from a single home up to a larger multi-area property.

For reliability it reports over three paths: dual-SIM 4G mobile data, Wi-Fi and a wired LAN connection, so a cut phone line or dropped internet does not leave the system unable to raise an alarm. It communicates with its detectors and sirens on 433 MHz two-way wireless with encryption and frequency hopping, and you control everything from the Hik-Connect app, a keyfob, a keypad, or a Mifare tag on the panel's built-in tag reader. It supports up to 48 tags, 48 keyfobs, 8 keypads, 6 wireless sirens and 4 repeaters, and is monitoring-ready with SIA-DC09 and Contact ID for an alarm receiving centre, including video verification on PIRCAM zones.

A built-in loudspeaker gives voice prompts, and an on-board lithium battery provides roughly 12 hours of backup if mains power fails (less in very cold conditions). The panel needs a hardwired network connection for the initial SIM activation, after which it can run over 4G or Wi-Fi. It is genuine Australian Hikvision stock with local warranty and support.

04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-PWA96-M-WB

Three reporting paths

Dual-SIM 4G, Wi-Fi and wired LAN give the panel real redundancy, so a cut phone line or dropped internet does not leave you without an alarm.

Room to grow

Up to 96 zones across 32 areas, with 48 tags and keyfobs and 8 keypads, means one panel can cover a small home or a large multi-area property.

Control it your way

Arm and disarm by app, keyfob, keypad or a tag on the built-in reader, with stay/away modes and automatic timers to suit how you live or work.

Monitoring ready

SIA-DC09 and Contact ID support, plus video verification on PIRCAM zones, make it ready for a professional alarm receiving centre when you want monitoring.

05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Homes and apartments

Run a whole-of-home wireless alarm with detectors, contacts and a siren, all controlled from the app and keyfobs.

Multi-area properties

Use the 32 areas to arm and disarm parts of a property independently, such as a house and a separate studio or office.

Small and medium business

Give staff tags and PINs, arm and disarm by schedule, and keep reporting over 4G if the building internet goes down.

Monitored sites

Connect to an alarm receiving centre over SIA-DC09 or Contact ID with video verification on PIRCAM zones.

06Setup

Installation & setup

  1. What's in the box

    One DS-PWA96-M-WB control panel with power supply and mounting hardware. A data SIM, detectors, contacts, sirens and keypads are not included and are added to suit your system.

  2. Installation requirements

    Mount the panel centrally with mains power and a hardwired network link for the initial SIM activation, then add it to Hik-Connect. Enrol your detectors, contacts, sirens, keypads, keyfobs and tags into zones and areas, fit a data SIM for the mobile path, and walk-test every device before arming. Professional installation is recommended, especially where the system will be monitored.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-PWA96-M-WB

Q.01

What is the DS-PWA96-M-WB?

It is the wireless control panel, or hub, of a Hikvision AX PRO alarm system. It coordinates all the wireless detectors, contacts, sirens and keypads, decides when to raise an alarm, and reports to you and any monitoring centre. You build a complete AX PRO system around it by adding the peripherals you need.
Q.02

How does it connect and report alarms?

It reports over three paths for redundancy: dual-SIM 4G mobile data, Wi-Fi and a wired LAN connection. If one path drops, the others keep the system reporting, and you receive alerts by app push, and through a monitoring centre if connected.
Q.03

How many detectors and devices can it handle?

It supports up to 96 wireless zones, including up to 48 PIRCAM detectors, across as many as 32 areas, plus 48 tags, 48 keyfobs, 8 keypads, 6 wireless sirens and 4 repeaters. That is enough to cover anything from a home to a large multi-area site.
Q.04

Do I need a SIM card and is there a subscription?

A data SIM is optional but recommended so the panel has a mobile path independent of your internet; it has dual SIM slots. There is no subscription to Hikvision - you supply your own SIM and pay your carrier. The panel needs a hardwired network connection for the initial SIM activation, then it can run on 4G or Wi-Fi.
Q.05

How do I arm and disarm the system?

You can arm and disarm from the Hik-Connect app, a DS-PKF1-WB keyfob, a DS-PK1-E-WB keypad, or by tapping a Mifare tag on the panel's built-in tag reader. It supports stay and away arming and automatic arm/disarm timers.
Q.06

What happens in a power cut?

The panel has a built-in lithium battery that keeps the system armed and reporting for about 12 hours at normal temperature - less in very cold conditions. With the 4G path it can still alert you even if both the mains and internet are down.
Q.07

Can it be professionally monitored?

Yes. It supports the SIA-DC09 and Contact ID protocols to report to a commercial alarm receiving centre, and it offers video verification on PIRCAM zones so an operator can confirm a genuine event before responding.
Q.08

Is this just the panel, or a full kit?

This listing is the control panel on its own, for building or expanding a system. If you want a ready-to-go starter package, the DS-PWA96-Kit includes the panel with a detector, contact and keyfob, and the DS-PWA96-Kit-Complete is a larger bundle.
