Chapter 3 Installation
3.1 Installation Environment
- Avoid backlight, direct sunlight, and indirect sunlight.
- For better recognition, there should be light source in or near the installation environment.
- If you have to install the device outdoors, you should install a protective shield (optional) for the device.

For details about installation environment, see Tips for Installation Environment.
3.2 Surface Mounting
Steps

The additional force shall be equal to three times the weight of the equipment. The equipment ad its associated mounting means shall remain secure during the installation. After the installation, the equipment, including any associated mounting plate, shall not be damaged.
- According to the datum line on the mounting template, stick the mounting template on the wall or other surfaces, 1.4 meters higher than the ground.

Figure 3-1 Mounting Template
- Drill holes on the wall or other surface according to the Hole 1 and Hole 2 on the mounting template.
- Remove the cable hole on the mounting plate with tools.
- Align the holes to the mounting plate and secure the mounting plate on the wall with the 4 supplied screws (Pa4×25).

- 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
The device supports connecting to the RS-485 terminal, the door lock, the exit button, the alarm output/input devices, the Wiegand card reader, the access controller, and the power supply. You can wire the peripherals according to the descriptions below.
If connect the Wiegand card reader with the access controller, the face recognition 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 the cable size is 18 AWG, you should use a 12 V switched-mode 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 switched-mode 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 switched-mode power supply. And the distance between the power supply and the device should be no more than 40 m.

Note
- You should set the face recognition terminal's Wiegand direction as Input to connect to a Wiegand card reader. If connects to an access controller, you should set the Wiegand direction as Output to transmit authentication information to the access controller.
- For details about Wiegand direction settings, see Set Wiegand Parameters.
- Do not wire the device to the electric supply directly.

www.hikvision.com/en/, and install the SADP according to the prompts.
- The device and the PC that runs the SADP tool should be within the same subnet.
The following steps show how to activate a device and modify its IP address. For batch activation and IP addresses modification, refer to User Manual of SADP for details.
Steps
- Run the SADP software and search the online devices.
- Find and select your device in online device list.
- Input new password (admin password) and confirm the password.

Caution
STRONG PASSWORD RECOMMENDED-We highly recommend you create a strong password of your own choosing (using a minimum of 8 characters, including upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters) in order to increase the security of your product. And we recommend you reset your password regularly, especially in the high security system, resetting the password monthly or weekly can better protect your product.
- Click Activate to start activation.

Status of the device becomes Active after successful activation.
- Modify IP address of the device.
1) Select the device.
2) Change the device IP address to the same subnet as your computer by either modifying the IP address manually or checking Enable DHCP.
