Hikvision DS-K1T341AM 4.3" Facial Recognition Touch Screen, 2MP, Mifare, 1,500 Faces, No Fingerprint

Model: DS-K1T341AM

Who This Is For

For facilities managers and security installers who need a touchscreen access terminal that removes the friction of PINs and proximity cards from high-traffic entry points. The Hikvision DS-K1T341AM combines facial recognition with a built-in Mifare card reader, giving sites the flexibility to enrol staff via face, card, or both - without deploying separate readers. With a 4.3" touch display, dual 2MP cameras, IP65 weather rating, and two-way video and audio to iVMS or an indoor room station, it suits supervised entry points at commercial offices, aged care facilities, childcare centres, and light industrial sites where speed, hygiene, and a clear audit trail all matter. The 1,500-face capacity and 150,000-event log make it practical for mid-size sites without requiring an enterprise-grade server to manage it.

What This Terminal Actually Does

Who Buys This Model

• Commercial office fit-out installers: Specifying touchless entry for corporate tenancies where the building owner wants a branded, professional-looking terminal at the lift lobby or secure floor entry.
• Aged care and childcare operators: Sites that need to verify identity quickly without physical contact, and where a full audit trail of every entry event is required for compliance and safeguarding purposes.
• Security integrators replacing legacy card-only readers: The Wiegand output lets the DS-K1T341AM feed into an existing access control panel, so the upgrade to facial recognition does not require replacing the back-end controller or door hardware.
• Light industrial and logistics sites: Shift-based operations where speed at the turnstile during clock-on and clock-off matters, and where supervisors need a reliable event log for time-and-attendance reconciliation.
• Property managers running multi-tenancy buildings: The 1,500-face and 1,500-card capacity suits buildings with a significant resident or tenant count, and the Mifare reader handles visitor or contractor access alongside permanent tenant credentials.

Honest Assessment

The DS-K1T341AM does a specific job well: fast, touchless credential verification at a single entry point, backed by a dual-camera setup, a wide 108-degree horizontal field of view, and a confirmed recognition accuracy rate above 99%. The IP65 housing, Wiegand output, and built-in Mifare reader make it genuinely flexible for both new installs and upgrades to existing systems. Two-way video and audio to iVMS adds remote reception capability that a basic card reader cannot offer. Where it has clear limits: the 1,500-face capacity means it is not suited to large enterprise or campus deployments with thousands of users. There is no fingerprint reader on this model - the product name makes that explicit. For sites that need fingerprint as a second factor or as an alternative credential, a different terminal is required. The unit also requires 12V DC at up to 24W, so PoE-only installations will need a separate power injector or supply. Available through Security Australia with full Hikvision warranty support.

Before You Buy

Quick Fit Check

• Good match if: You are fitting a single access point at a commercial office, aged care, or childcare facility where you need touchless facial recognition with Mifare card backup and a local event log up to 150,000 records.
• Good match if: You are integrating into an existing access control system via Wiegand output and need facial recognition capability without replacing the back-end controller or door hardware.
• You may need a different model if: Your site requires fingerprint recognition as a credential type, needs to manage more than 1,500 enrolled users, or needs a multi-door enterprise controller - a higher-capacity access control terminal or server-based platform would be more appropriate.

Real-World Scenarios

How It Compares

• Choose this if: You need a single-door facial recognition terminal with built-in Mifare card reading, two-way video to iVMS, and IP65 protection - particularly where Wiegand output is needed to integrate with an existing access controller.
• You may need a different model if: Your site requires fingerprint recognition as a credential type, needs to manage more than 1,500 enrolled users, or requires multi-door centralised management at scale - a higher-capacity facial recognition terminal or a server-based access control platform would be more suitable.
• Pairs well with: A compatible Hikvision indoor room station for two-way video reception, a Hikvision iVMS-4200 management installation for multi-terminal administration, and a 12V DC DIN-rail power supply for clean cabinet installation.

Common Questions

1. Does this terminal work with PoE switches?

   No. The DS-K1T341AM requires a 12V DC, 2A dedicated power supply - it is not a PoE device. Maximum power consumption is 24W. If your cable run to the door position only carries network cabling, you will need either a PoE splitter rated for 24W minimum or a separate 12V power supply run to the mounting location.

2. Will this terminal work with my existing access control panel?

   Yes, in most cases. The DS-K1T341AM outputs Wiegand data in 26-bit or 34-bit format, which is compatible with the majority of third-party access control panels on the market. The terminal reads a face or card, then sends a credential via Wiegand to your existing controller, which handles the door decision as normal. Confirm your panel accepts the Wiegand bit format you intend to use before installation.

3. Does this model include fingerprint recognition?

   No. The DS-K1T341AM does not include a fingerprint reader - this is confirmed in the product name itself (No Fingerprint). Supported credentials are facial recognition and Mifare CSN card. If fingerprint is a requirement for your site, you will need to specify a different Hikvision terminal model from the DS-K1T3 series that includes a fingerprint module.

4. How accurate is the facial recognition and how far away does it work?

   Confirmed accuracy is greater than 99% with a response time under 0.2 seconds. Recognition operates at distances between 0.3 and 3 metres. The dual 2MP cameras provide a 108-degree horizontal and 59-degree vertical field of view. Enrolment and recognition performance are influenced by lighting conditions at the install location - consistent, adequate lighting at face height produces the most reliable results.

5. Can visitors who are not enrolled request access through this terminal?

   Yes. The terminal supports two-way video and audio calls to Hikvision iVMS software or a compatible indoor room station. A visitor not enrolled in the face or card database can initiate a call, allowing staff at a reception desk or monitoring station to see the visitor via the 1080p video stream and grant or deny access remotely through the relay output.

6. How many users and events can this terminal store on-device?

   The DS-K1T341AM stores up to 1,500 face records, 1,500 Mifare card records, and 150,000 access events locally on the device. For sites with fewer than 1,500 enrolled users, this on-device storage means the terminal continues to operate and log events even if network connectivity to a server is interrupted. For sites exceeding 1,500 users, a higher-capacity terminal model is needed. The DS-K1T341AM is part of the Security Australia Hikvision access control range.

7. Is this terminal suitable for outdoor installation?

   Yes, with the qualification that it is rated IP65, not IP67 or IP68. IP65 protects against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for covered external entry points - building lobbies with open facades, undercover carpark pedestrian gates, and sheltered entries. It is not rated for direct rain exposure or submersion. For fully exposed outdoor positions, a protective canopy or weather hood is recommended.

Cabling Considerations

• Network Cable: Cat5e or Cat6 to the terminal for IP management, RTSP video stream, and iVMS two-way video and audio. The terminal supports 10/100/1000 Mbps self-adaptive Ethernet.
• Power Cable: A separate 12V DC, 2A supply is required - rated up to 24W. Run a suitable 2-core cable from a DIN-rail power supply or inline 12V adapter to the terminal. Do not rely on PoE without a rated PoE splitter.
• Wiegand Cable: If connecting to a third-party access panel via Wiegand output, use shielded cable to minimise interference on the data lines. Keep Wiegand runs as short as practical - standard Wiegand is not suited to very long cable runs. Confirm 26-bit or 34-bit format with the receiving panel before wiring.
• Door Lock/Strike Cable: The relay output drives your electric strike or magnetic lock. Confirm the relay rating against your lock's power requirements and wire a separate power supply to the lock if the lock draw exceeds the relay specification. Run lock and control cabling through the door frame or a surface conduit to protect from tampering.
