01Overview

What the DS-PT is

The Hikvision DS-PT1-WE is a wireless tag reader for the Hikvision AX PRO wireless alarm range, giving users a simple, contactless way to operate the system with a Mifare tag instead of a PIN code. Fitted at an entry point, it lets family members or staff stay-arm, away-arm or disarm the alarm by area with a single swipe, which is ideal for high-traffic doors where typing a code each time is awkward.

This is the 868MHz version (model suffix -WE), and an important point applies to every AX PRO peripheral: the tag reader's radio frequency must match your AX PRO hub. The -WE reads on 868MHz, while the -WB reads on 433MHz, so confirm your hub's band before ordering and choose the matching reader. It communicates over two-way wireless with AES-128 encryption, reaching up to 1200m in open space, supports an arming process with fault confirmation and patrol tag check-in, and uses a multi-colour LED to show area, arm, disarm, alarm, fault and signal states.

Compatible credentials include the Hikvision DS-PT-M1 Mifare tag and standard Mifare cards. Note that DS-PWA96-series hubs already include a built-in tag-reading area; this external reader is most useful for adding a convenient reading point right at a door, or for giving a DS-PWA64-series hub the tag function it does not have built in. It is powered by three AA batteries for up to two years of standby, has front and rear tamper protection, measures 75 x 124 x 21 mm and is for indoor wall mounting. The AX PRO system is not compatible with the older Axiom range.

Flexible by area

Stay arm, away arm and disarm by area, with patrol tag check-in for managed sites.

Secure and tamper-aware

AES-128 two-way wireless plus front and rear tamper protect an exposed entry-point device.

05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Front and back doors

Add a quick tag swipe at the main entries so household members operate the alarm without a PIN.

Staff entries

Give shop or office staff tag-based arming at a side or staff door on an AX PRO system.

DS-PWA64 hubs

Add tag arming to a DS-PWA64-series hub that has no built-in tag reader.

Patrol check-in

Use patrol tag check-in at managed or larger sites to log presence at the reader.

06Setup

Installation & setup

  1. Confirm the band

    Check your AX PRO hub is 868MHz to suit this -WE reader; if it is 433MHz, choose the DS-PT1-WB version instead.

  2. Choose the spot

    Pick an indoor wall position by the door, within strong wireless range of the hub, and fit the 3 AA batteries.

  3. Enrol to the hub

    Add the reader to the hub in the app, then enrol each Mifare tag under User Management, Card/Tag.

  4. Test arming

    Swipe a tag to confirm stay arm, away arm and disarm work, and that the LED and tamper respond correctly.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-PT

Q.01

What does the DS-PT1-WE do?
It is a wireless tag reader for Hikvision AX PRO alarms. Users swipe a Mifare tag at the reader to stay-arm, away-arm or disarm the system, giving a quick contactless alternative to entering a PIN code at a door.
Q.02

Which frequency is this and does it matter?
This is the 868MHz version (suffix -WE). The reader's radio band must match your AX PRO hub. If your hub is 433MHz, choose the DS-PT1-WB instead. Confirm your hub's frequency before ordering.
Q.03

Which tags or cards work with it?
It works with the Hikvision DS-PT-M1 Mifare tag and standard Mifare cards. You enrol each tag to the hub, then it can be used at the reader to control the alarm.
Q.04

How do I add a tag to the system?
In the Hik-Connect or iVMS app, open the hub and go to User Management, then Card/Tag, choose to add a tag, and present the tag at the reading area when prompted to swipe.
Q.05

Do I need this if my hub already reads tags?
DS-PWA96-series hubs have a built-in tag-reading area, so a reader is not essential. It is most useful for adding a reading point right at a door, or for giving a DS-PWA64-series hub, which has no built-in reader, the tag function.
Q.06

How does it connect and how secure is it?
It uses 868MHz two-way wireless with AES-128 encryption to the hub, reaching up to 1200m in open space, and supports patrol tag check-in and an arming process that confirms faults before setting.
Q.07

What powers it and how long do batteries last?
It runs on three AA batteries with up to two years of standby life, and front and rear tamper switches report any attempt to remove it from the wall.
Q.08

Is it compatible with the Hikvision Axiom system?
No. This is an AX PRO device and the AX PRO system is not compatible with the older Axiom range. Use it only with a matching AX PRO hub on the 868MHz band.
