Hikvision DS-PR1-WB AX Pro Wireless Repeater
The Hikvision DS-PR1-WB is a wireless repeater for Hikvision AX PRO alarm systems. It relays the 433 MHz two-way signal between the control panel and distant detectors, so devices in a far corner, a detached building or behind dense walls stay reliably connected. It is mains powered with a built-in battery for backup, and supports PIRCAM image-verification detectors.

§ 01Overview
What the DS-PR1-WB is
The Hikvision DS-PR1-WB is a wireless repeater for the AX PRO alarm range.
It sits between the control panel and the system's wireless detectors and relays their 433 MHz two-way signals, which extends reliable coverage to devices that are too far from the hub or are blocked by distance, dense walls or a detached building.
Placed at the edge of the panel's reliable range, it gives detectors beyond that point a strong path back to the panel.
It uses 433 MHz two-way wireless with AES-128 encryption, reaches up to 800 metres in open area, supports auto-pairing, and importantly supports PIRCAM detectors so image-verification still works across the extended range.
Three LEDs show register/signal, power and fault status, and front and back tamper protection alerts the system if it is opened or removed.
Unlike battery detectors, the repeater is mains powered on 100 to 240 VAC and has a built-in lithium battery that gives up to about 35 hours of backup at normal temperature if the mains fails.
Note that the battery cannot charge below 10 C and its backup time is significantly reduced in the cold, so keep it in a temperate spot and make sure the adapter stays connected.
It mounts on a wall, measures 150 x 150 x 25 mm and weighs 372 g.
It is genuine Australian Hikvision stock with local warranty and support.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-PR1-WB
Keeps image verification working
Because it supports PIRCAM detectors, the photos those detectors capture still reach the panel across the extended range, not just simple alarms.
Backup through outages
Mains power with a built-in lithium battery keeps the repeater working for up to about 35 hours if the power fails, so coverage holds during a blackout.
Simple to add
Auto-pairing and wall mounting make it straightforward to drop into an existing AX PRO system where you need more reach.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Large homes and acreage
Reach detectors in distant rooms, a granny flat or across a big floor plan where the panel's signal alone is marginal.
Detached garages and sheds
Extend coverage to a garage, shed or workshop set away from the main building.
Solid-wall buildings
Push the signal through double-brick, rendered or multi-storey construction that weakens wireless range.
Commercial sites
Cover offices, retail or warehouse areas where distance or layout leaves wireless detectors short of reliable signal.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One DS-PR1-WB wireless repeater with power adapter and mounting hardware. A compatible Hikvision AX PRO alarm system is required and not included.
Installation requirements
Mount the repeater on a wall roughly midway between the panel and the detectors that need more range, in a temperate spot near a power point, and connect the mains adapter. Enrol it to your AX PRO panel using auto-pairing, then check that the affected detectors now report strong signal strength and stable supervision. Keep the adapter connected at all times so the backup battery stays charged, and avoid cold locations where charging and runtime are reduced.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Pair with an AX PRO alarm
Use it with a Hikvision AX PRO system such as the DS-PWA96-Kit alarm kit, or build one around the DS-PWA96-M-WB control panel.
Extend image-verification detection
It keeps DS-PDPC12P-EG2-WB PIRCAM detectors connected across distance for photo verification on far zones.
Cover the far reaches
Add detectors and contacts such as a DS-PDP15P-EG2-WB PIR or a DS-PDMC-EG2-WB door contact at the extended range.
