What’s the method for connecting a Hikvision IP intercom to a door strike?

Connecting your Hikvision IP intercom to an electric strike allows you to control access to your premises remotely. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to configure this setup: 

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Gather Required Materials:

   • Ensure you have all necessary components, including the Hikvision IP intercom, the electric strike, and 4-core cabling for the connection.

2. Wiring the Intercom to the Strike:

   • Run 4-Core Cabling:
     • Run a 4-core cable from the intercom door station to the electric strike installation point. This cable will be used to control the strike.

3. Connect the Electric Strike:

   • Power Connection:
     • Ensure the electric strike is powered appropriately. It typically requires a separate power supply as the intercom unit alone cannot supply sufficient power.
   • Wiring to the Intercom:
     • Connect the appropriate wires from the intercom to the electric strike according to the manufacturer's wiring diagram. Typically, this will involve connecting the control wires from the intercom to the strike.

4. Access the Intercom Settings:

   • Log into the intercom’s web interface using its IP address from a web browser. Enter your credentials to access the configuration settings.

5. Configure Door Strike Settings:

   • Navigate to the settings for door control or access control. Look for options related to opening the strike.
   • Set the appropriate parameters for the door strike to ensure it activates when prompted from the intercom.

6. Testing the Setup:

   • After completing the wiring and configuration, test the system by activating the intercom and using the call function to ensure that pressing the door release activates the electric strike and allows access.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can successfully connect your Hikvision IP intercom to an electric strike, enabling remote access control for your property.
