Hikvision fingerprint access control Singapore
One unit on the door frame, 3,000 fingerprints inside it, and a time sheet that fills itself in. The DS-K1T804AMF is the hikvision fingerprint access control terminal Singapore offices reach for once the pass that everybody keeps lending out has quietly become the security policy.
Installed from S$820 per door with lock, break glass, exit button, power supply and the cable run — indicative, confirmed after the door walk. Prices exclude GST.
Click the terminal to run it again — and every switch, key, slider and card further down this page is live too.
Hikvision fingerprint access control Singapore, and the pass problem it ends
A card is a thing. A finger is not. Almost the whole argument sits in that one difference.
- Lent to the colleague who forgot theirs
- Left in a jacket, at home, on a Friday
- Walks out with whoever resigned
- Copied at a shop for about four dollars
- Nothing to hand over
- Nothing to leave at home
- Off the list at four, off the door at four
- The same touch is the attendance punch
That is the case for hikvision fingerprint access control Singapore offices actually make in the meeting room — and it is also why the card reader stays in the unit: finger for staff, card for couriers and contractors, both for the store room.
Because a fingerprint access control terminal Singapore buyers install is also a hikvision fingerprint time attendance terminal, that one touch does the door and the time sheet at once.
Manufacturer-published capacity, and the same unit stores 3,000 cards next to them.
Published fingerprint recognition duration, in both 1:1 and 1:N comparison modes.
Event records held on the device before the delete rule starts making room.
Three ways in on one Hikvision fingerprint access control terminal Singapore staff will actually use
The three printed on the carton, set per person rather than per building. Press one and watch the 2.4-inch screen play it out.
3,000 templates on device
Setting the mode per person, not per building, is what decides whether staff accept a hikvision fingerprint access control terminal Singapore offices put on a shared door: the store room can ask for two factors while the pantry stays one touch.
Modes as printed on the retail carton; screen size, resolution, comparison modes and reading times as published by Hikvision for the DS-K1T804AMF.
The Hikvision DS-K1T804AMF keypad, key by key
Twelve numbers and five grey keys is the whole interface. Press one here and the panel tells you what the manual says it does — useful on the morning the office manager has to add a staff member and we are not standing next to her.
Three defaults ship with the terminal and all three should be gone before we leave your office: the default IP address 192.0.0.64, the default port 8000, and the default user name admin. Activation asks for a password of eight to sixteen characters, and Hikvision's own advice on the same sheet is upper case, lower case, numbers and symbols, changed on a schedule rather than never.
Every fact on this page comes off Hikvision's own published specification or the quick start guide in the box, which is how a hikvision fingerprint access control Singapore quote from us stays checkable — hold the guide next to the page and every line matches.
We activate the device on your network, not on 192.0.0.64, then hand you the credentials in writing. It is a five-minute job that decides whether your hikvision fingerprint access control Singapore install is a locked door or an open web service, and it is the single most common thing we find wrong on units somebody else supplied.
Keypad behaviour, default IP, default port, default user name and the activation password rule are from the Hikvision quick start guide UD17820B-A supplied in the box.
3,000 prints and 100,000 events: sizing a hikvision fingerprint terminal Singapore offices grow into
Two numbers decide whether one unit is enough: how many prints you enrol, and how long the event log lasts before the device starts overwriting. Move the sliders.
The arithmetic is not ours — it comes straight off the published capacity. Three thousand templates at two fingers a head is 1,500 people, so the ceiling on a hikvision fingerprint terminal Singapore SMEs buy is almost never the prints. It is the event log, and the log is where the surprises live.
If you are sizing more than one door, count reads rather than people: a hikvision fingerprint terminal Singapore receptionists touch forty times a day fills the log far faster than a store-room unit somebody opens twice.
When the 100,000 records are full the terminal does not stop recording and it does not warn you twice: by default it deletes the first 3,000 attendance records to make room for new ones. There is also a threshold prompt you can set anywhere from 1 to 99 per cent, which is the setting we turn on so the office manager gets told at 80 per cent rather than finding January missing in March. Export the report to a USB disk from the Report interface before that happens and the year is safe.
Capacities published by Hikvision for the DS-K1T804AMF; the record-delete rule and the 1–99% threshold prompt are from quick start guide UD17820B-A.
Hikvision fingerprint time attendance terminal: the time sheet writes itself
This is the half of the product most resellers list in one line and never explain, and it is the half that pays for the unit.
Access control and attendance management are integrated on the device — that phrase is printed on the carton, and on this model it is literal. The shift is configured on the terminal itself, scheduled either by department or by individual, and the report is exported to a USB disk from the Report interface. No server, no monthly licence, no HR platform to buy before the first pay run.
Two shift types cover most Singapore SMEs. Normal shift is the ordinary office rule with a start, an end and an attendance rule attached; man-hour shift counts hours worked instead of policing a clock, which is what part-timers, shift crews and the warehouse actually need. A hikvision fingerprint time attendance terminal handles both without a second box on the wall.
None of that needs a subscription. A hikvision fingerprint time attendance terminal that keeps its own shifts is the difference between a zero-dollar monthly line and an HR platform you are still paying for in three years.
Holiday group, week plan and schedule template are three separate objects on the device, and they stack: the template holds the week plan and the holiday group, and the person holds the template.
Get those three right in the first hour and nobody touches the terminal again until someone joins or leaves.
Each user carries an ID number, a name, a card number, the registered fingerprint, a password, a department, a permission level, a schedule template and an authentication mode.
A duress card can be set too — the credential someone uses when they are being made to open the door.
The ACS parameters are the door's manners: terminal and sub-reader authentication mode, door magnetic status, lock action time, door-open timeout alarm, and the maximum number of authentication attempts.
Lock action time is the one people feel — too short and the door snaps shut on a trolley.
Plug a USB disk in, choose the table type in the Report interface of the Attendance menu, press OK, and the attendance report is on the stick. The device checks the free space first and says so if there is not enough.
That file is the one payroll wants, and it is the reason a fingerprint access control terminal Singapore bookkeepers deal with beats a paper book.
Shift types, scheduling, holiday group, week plan, schedule template, ACS parameters, duress card and USB report export are all documented in quick start guide UD17820B-A.
What the hikvision fingerprint access control terminal Singapore needs behind the wall
One difference matters more than every spec on this page, and it is the one nobody mentions until the electrician is already on site.
Every hikvision fingerprint access control Singapore job we quote starts with this list, because the wall behind the terminal costs a great deal more to change afterwards than the terminal itself does.
- 12 VDC / 1 A
This unit is powered by a 12 volt supply, not over the network cable. The bigger face terminals take PoE and hand 12 V back out to the lock; this one does not. If you are comparing the two, that is the practical difference — a fingerprint door needs a power source at or near the door, and we plan for it before quoting.
- Two supplies
The terminal and the lock are fed separately. Magnetic locks want their own PSU with a battery behind it, because the break-glass has to drop power to the lock and nothing else.
- One earth
The external power supply and the access control terminal must use the same GND cable. That sentence is a note in the manual and the cause of half the phantom faults we get called to on somebody else's install.
- A gang box
The terminal mounts on a gang box set into the wall. Plate on the box with the two supplied screws, cables routed through the plate's hole, terminal pushed on from the bottom up onto the buckles, then the fixing screws.
- A sealed hole
The cable hole gets silicone. Air-conditioned lobbies push condensation down conduit; sealing the entry is thirty seconds that stops a slow problem.
- Cat 6 back to the switch
10/100 Mbps self-adaptive, and Wi-Fi is on board as the fallback. We terminate and label both ends and hand you the port number — Wi-Fi is for the one door where opening a wall is not worth it.
Power rating, network speed and Wi-Fi as published by Hikvision; gang box, mounting sequence, shared GND and the sealed cable hole are from quick start guide UD17820B-A.
Wiring a Hikvision fingerprint access control terminal Singapore two ways
The manual draws the same door twice. The difference is which side of it holds the relay that opens your lock — and for a glass front door in a shared lobby, that difference is the whole security argument.
Both diagrams are printed in the guide that ships in the box with every hikvision fingerprint access control terminal Singapore distributors sell, and we choose between them at the site survey rather than on the day.
Terminal groups, Wiegand input and output formats and the secure door control unit option are documented by Hikvision for the DS-K1T804AMF and in quick start guide UD17820B-A.
Everything that goes in beside hikvision fingerprint access control Singapore
The installed price on this page is not the terminal with a screw in it. This is the list, and it is the list we walk through on site before anyone quotes.
- The terminal — DS-K1T804AMF on a gang box on the frame side, at a height your shortest staff member can reach comfortably.
- An EM magnetic lock — one per leaf. A double door gets two locks that release together, and still only needs this one terminal.
- Brackets for your door — U and L brackets for glass so nothing is drilled through the pane; for a timber door the lock goes on the frame and the armature on the leaf.
- Emergency break glass — on the inside, wired to drop power to the lock. This is the one item nobody should ever value-engineer out.
- Exit push button — the ordinary way out, wired to the exit button terminals.
- Power supply — a 12 V supply for the terminal and a lock PSU with backup, sharing the earth the manual asks for.
- Cat 6 supplied and terminated — run back to your router or switch, labelled at both ends, tested and handed over with the port number.
- Enrolment and handover — staff enrolled, shifts set, the default credentials replaced, and thirty minutes with whoever will add the next joiner.
Those eight lines are the whole scope of a hikvision fingerprint access control Singapore door, and they are what the installed price on this page covers.
Fingerprint or face: choosing your hikvision fingerprint terminal Singapore or a face terminal
We sell both and we do not have a favourite. Six rows decide it.
| What you are weighing | DS-K1T804AMF — fingerprint | DS-K1T342MFWX-E1 — face |
|---|---|---|
| Unit price | Roughly a third of the face terminal, which is why it wins the inner doors. | Costs more, and earns it at the entrance everyone walks through. |
| Power at the door | Needs a 12 V supply near the door. | One PoE cable does the terminal; the lock still keeps its own supply. |
| Hands full | A finger has to touch the reader — awkward with two boxes and a coffee. | Nothing to touch, which is the whole point at a busy front door. |
| Gloves, plasters, wet hands | Kitchens, clinics and workshops will need the card or the password as a second route. | Unaffected. |
| Time and attendance | On the device, with shifts, holidays and a USB export — no extra software. | Also on board, on a bigger screen. |
| Where we usually put it | Store rooms, back offices, server rooms, the second and third door. | The main entrance, the lift lobby, reception. |
Most offices we fit end up with both: a face terminal at the front and a hikvision fingerprint access control Singapore unit on the doors behind it, all on the same list of names. If you want the other side of that argument in full, the Hikvision face recognition terminal Singapore page takes that model apart the same way this one does, and the door access system Singapore page covers the system rather than the box.

Hikvision fingerprint access control terminal Singapore: what buyers ask us
For most small and mid-sized offices, yes. The DS-K1T804AMF holds 3,000 fingerprints, 3,000 Mifare 1 cards and 100,000 event records, runs access control and time attendance on the device itself, and needs no server or monthly licence. It is the hikvision fingerprint access control Singapore workhorse for inner doors, store rooms and back offices. Where it is not the right answer is a busy main entrance where people arrive with both hands full — that door usually wants a face terminal instead.
Three thousand fingerprint templates. At two fingers per person, that is 1,500 people, so the print store is almost never the limit on a hikvision fingerprint terminal Singapore SMEs buy. The number worth watching is the event log: 100,000 records, and when it fills, the device deletes the first 3,000 attendance records to keep taking new ones. The calculator on this page works out how many months that gives you for your headcount.
It does it on the device. Access control and attendance management are integrated on this model, so a hikvision fingerprint time attendance terminal handles shifts, holiday groups, week plans and schedule templates from its own menu, scheduled either by department or by individual. The attendance report is exported to a USB disk from the Report interface. Larger sites still bring it into Hikvision's client software, but nothing forces you to buy a platform before the first pay run.
It has a 10/100 Mbps self-adaptive network port and Wi-Fi, but it is not a PoE device: it is powered by 12 VDC at 1 A. That is the one specification to check before you compare it to a face terminal, because a fingerprint access control terminal Singapore installers put on a door still needs a power source at the door. We plan that in at the survey rather than discovering it on the day.
If they are Mifare 1 cards, yes — the reader is built in, with a published reading distance of 0 to 4.5 cm and a read time under a second. If your building issues 125 kHz EM cards, this model will not read them and we would look at the EM version of the same series instead. Bring one of your cards to the site survey and we will tell you in a minute.
You give that person a second route, and you do it per person rather than for the whole building. The three authentication modes printed on the carton — card, fingerprint, and fingerprint with password — are set per user, so a kitchen supervisor with wet hands or a technician in gloves can carry a card while everyone else touches the reader. In practice this is why the card reader matters on a fingerprint unit at all.
Only a template is. Hikvision's own documentation states that for a fingerprint device only the fingerprint template is saved, and that a fingerprint image cannot be reconstructed from it. That distinction matters for your PDPA notice: you are holding a mathematical template of a print, not the print. We can put the wording in front of your DPO if you want it checked before the terminals go live.
The terminal itself is on this page. Installed, we quote from S$820 per door, which covers the terminal, the EM lock, the brackets for a glass or timber door, the emergency break glass, the exit button, the power supply, the Cat 6 run terminated at both ends, enrolment and handover. Two doors on one visit cost less than two visits. Everything here is indicative and confirmed after we have seen the door — prices exclude GST.
