Frequently Asked Questions - DS-K1T671TMW Hikvision

How do I activate the DS-K1T671TMW for the first time?

After powering on, you will be prompted to set an activation password (at least 8 characters including uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters). You can also activate via a web browser, SADP tool, or Hikvision client software.

What authentication modes are supported?

The terminal supports face recognition, fingerprint, card (Mifare/IC), password, and QR code. You can combine multiple credentials for higher security (e.g., card + face).

How many users can be stored?

The DS-K1T671TMW can store up to 6,000 face templates, 5,000 fingerprints, and 50,000 event logs. Additional models (e.g., DS-K1T671TMFW) support up to 20,000 faces.

Can this terminal be used outdoors?

Yes, the device has an IP65 protection rating, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against water jets. It can operate in temperatures from -30°C to +60°C.

How do I connect the terminal to my network?

You can connect via wired Ethernet (RJ-45) or Wi-Fi. In the device settings, go to Communication Settings to configure IP address (DHCP or static), subnet mask, gateway, and DNS.

What is the recommended installation height?

The recommended height for mounting the terminal is 1.4 meters above the ground. This ensures optimal face recognition for users between 1.4 m and 1.9 m tall.

How do I add users and their credentials?

On the device, go to User Management and tap +. Enter an employee ID and name, then add face pictures, fingerprints, cards, or passwords. You can also import/export user data via USB flash drive.

How do I reset the admin password if I forget it?

During initial setup, you can choose to reset via email or security questions. If both are configured, use the web interface or contact Hikvision support with the device serial number to reset.

Can I export attendance logs and user data?

Yes, insert a USB flash drive (FAT32, 1-32 GB) and go to Data Management > Export Data. You can export event logs, user data (DB file), or face pictures. Data can be imported to another device.

What maintenance is required?

Clean the screen and camera lens with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use alkaline detergents. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For outdoor installation, apply silicone sealant around cable entries to prevent water ingress.

i Note

• The installation height here is the recommended height. You can change it according to your actual needs.

• For easy installation, drill holes on mounting surface according to the supplied mounting template.

• After installation, for the proper use of the device (outdoor use), stick the protection film (parts of models supplied) on the screen.

Chapter 4 Wiring

You can connect the RS-485 terminal with the RS-485 card reader, connect the NC and COM terminal with the door lock, connect the SENSOR terminal with the door contact, the BTN/GND terminal with the exit button, connect the alarm output and input terminal with the alarm output/input devices, and connect the Wiegand terminal with the Wiegand card reader or the access controller.

If connect the WIEGAND terminal with the access controller, the facerecognition terminal can transmit the authentication information to the access controller and the access controller can judge whether to open the door or not.

Note

• If cable size is 18 AWG, you should use a 12 V power supply. And the distance between the power supply and the device should be no more than 20 m.
• If the cable size is 15 AWG, you should use a 12 V power supply. And the distance between the power supply and the device should be no more than 30 m.
• If the cable size is 12 AWG, you should use a 12 V power supply. And the distance between the power supply and the device should be no more than 40 m.
