DS-K1104M, Vandal-proof card reader, MiFare

The DS-K1104M is a vandal-proof card reader from Hikvision's access control line. The card reader can be connected via RS-485 or Wiegand.
The beautifully designed card reader can be used both indoors and outdoors. The card reader can read MiFare cards and can be connected to Hikvision's Basic+ and Pro Complete door controllers.

RS-485 vs Wiegand
Hikvision card readers such as the DS-K1104M are equipped with connection options for both Wiegand and RS-485.
Wiegand has the potential disadvantage of requiring more cores (7) to achieve the correct connection. After this, however, no programming is needed in the reader and everything can be set via the software.

RS-485 has the advantage that fewer cores are needed (4). Another major advantage of RS-485 is that the reader supports two-way communication with the door controller. Also, RS-485 allows working in a bus form instead of a star topology. With RS-485, however, it is necessary to give the readers the corresponding address via dipswitch for this reason. The sequence affects the setting options and therefore require attention when making the setting. Readers seen as entering are numbered odd, readers used when exiting the protected zone are numbered even.
