Hikvision DS-KD-K12 Nametag (Name‑plate) Module

The DS-KD-K12 is a modular extension for Hikvision KD8-series door stations that provides 12 backlit, physical nametag call buttons. It is engineered for multi-tenant door panels where visitors need direct one-touch calling to individual units. The module is weather resistant and designed to mount flush or surface within KD8 module frames.

• 12 physical, backlit nametag buttons for one-touch calling.
• RS-485 interface for communications with KD8 main modules.
• IP65 ingress protection for outdoor use.
• Very low power consumption (≤ 2 W).
• Compact footprint for stacking with other KD8 series modules; supports flush or surface mounting.

Use cases: multi‑tenant residential buildings, small commercial suites, gated entries and retrofit upgrades where additional call buttons are required. Installer note: designed to be used with KD8 main modules (for example DS‑KD8003/DS‑KD8003Y). Always follow official Hikvision installation guidelines when mounting and wiring.

Compliance & safety: confirm CE/UKCA and local regulatory compliance with your Hikvision supplier or datasheet prior to sale or installation. For outdoor wiring and installation, use suitable cable entries and take standard IP65 installation precautions to preserve the ingress rating.
