• Connect via PoE if possible to simplify cabling and use the built-in lock output to drive a 12 V actuator directly.
• Configure user groups and authentication modes (face only, face + card, fingerprint) to suit your site’s security policy.
• For outdoor or semi-outdoor use, place the unit under an awning or recess to protect from direct rain, even though it is IP65 rated.
• Keep firmware up to date via Hikvision’s web-interface to ensure best performance and latest security patches.
