Hikvision DS-PS1-B AX Hybrid Series, Wired External Siren Sounder, IP54, 105DB
The Hikvision DS-PS1-B is a wired external siren sounder from the AX Hybrid range, combining a loud 105 dB sounder with a high-visibility LED strobe to warn and deter when your alarm activates. It wires directly to your control panel and is powered from it, so there is no battery to maintain, and the sound and strobe can be set up to operate separately.

§ 01Overview
What the DS-PS1-B is
The Hikvision DS-PS1-B is a wired external siren sounder, part of Hikvision's AX Hybrid alarm range.
It pairs a loud 105 dB sounder (measured at 30 cm) with a bright LED strobe so that, when the alarm is triggered, it both alerts the people nearby and draws attention to the property - a visible, audible warning that helps deter an intruder.
Because it is a wired device, it connects to your alarm control panel and is powered from it on 8 to 16 VDC (12 VDC is typical), drawing about 70 mA at full output.
That means there is no battery inside the sounder to fail or replace.
The sound and the LED strobe can be configured to operate separately, and the unit has front tamper protection so the system is alerted if anyone tries to open it.
The strobe is available in red or blue.
The housing is moulded PC+ABS and rated IP54, which makes it splash-resistant rather than fully weatherproof, so mount it in a sheltered external position - under an eave or porch - or indoors.
It measures 140 x 134 x 33 mm and weighs 185 g.
As a wired AX Hybrid sounder it suits the Hikvision AX Hybrid panel (DS-PHA64) and other hardwired alarm controllers; it is not part of the wireless AX PRO range.
It is genuine Australian Hikvision stock with local warranty and support.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-PS1-B
Nothing to recharge
Being wired and powered from the panel, there is no siren battery to fail or replace - back-up comes from the panel, so maintenance is minimal.
Flexible setup
Sound and strobe are individually configurable and the strobe comes in red or blue, so the installer can tailor it to the site and to local noise expectations.
Built to sit outdoors, sheltered
An IP54 PC+ABS housing with front tamper protection stands up to a sheltered outdoor position and alerts the panel if anyone tampers with it.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Home perimeter warning
Mount under an eave at the front of a house so the siren and strobe are seen and heard from the street when the alarm trips.
Retail and offices
Fit an external sounder to a shopfront or office on a wired alarm to warn staff and passers-by during an alarm event.
Warehouses and workshops
Use a loud, visible wired sounder on larger sites where an external warning device is part of the alarm layout.
Wired and hybrid alarm upgrades
Add or replace an external sounder on a Hikvision AX Hybrid or other hardwired panel using a standard 12 V siren output.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One DS-PS1-B wired external siren sounder with mounting hardware. Cabling and an alarm control panel are required and not included.
Installation requirements
Mount the sounder in a sheltered external position or indoors, run the siren cable back to your alarm panel, and wire it to a siren/bell output powered at 8-16 VDC. Configure the sound and strobe behaviour at the panel, confirm the front tamper is monitored, and test the alarm output before handover. Because it is mains-independent and powered from the panel, ensure the panel has a healthy back-up battery. Professional installation is recommended for hardwired alarm work.
