The DS-KIS205T comes equipped with a 1280 x 720 HD camera capable of capturing video at 60 frames per second. With a wide-angle view of 130° horizontally and 70° vertically, it minimizes blind spots and ensures comprehensive monitoring. An in-built omnidirectional microphone and loudspeaker further enhance communication with noise suppression and echo cancellation.

For visibility in low-light environments, the system incorporates infrared (IR) lighting effective up to 3 meters, ensuring round-the-clock clarity at the doorstep.

Built as a Four-Wire Analog Bundle, the DS-KIS205T includes the DS-KB2412T-IM outdoor station and DS-KH2220-S indoor unit, along with a 5-meter four-wire cable—offering a plug-and-play solution that simplifies installation. The indoor unit features a 7-inch TFT LCD screen with an 800 x 480 resolution and tactile physical buttons, ensuring ease of use for all age groups.

Engineered for rugged performance, the door station consumes less than 4W and supports lock control with a 30V 1A relay. It can endure extreme temperatures ranging from –30°C to 60°C, and humidity levels up to 90%, making it suitable for India's diverse climates.

One of the standout features is its integration capability with home automation systems and CCTV networks, as well as support for image storage—allowing homeowners to review past visitor logs for added peace of mind.

While the price of the DS-KIS205T has not been officially disclosed, comparable systems in the market are typically priced below Rs 1 million, offering a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution for high-end home security.

By blending robust hardware with intuitive design, Hikvision’s DS-KIS205T delivers a next-gen analog video solution that is both reliable and ready for the future of home safety.
