Usage

Neatly terminating a single network cable at a wall outlet — a camera drop, a desk point or a patch-panel face.

How it works

A wall-mount plate with one RJ45 keystone cutout. The permanent cable terminates on a keystone jack at the rear, and the front presents a clean RJ45 socket for a patch cable.

What's special

• Single-port design
• Standard 86 × 86 mm footprint
• Snap-fit mounting
• Hikvision original part

Usage

Terminating two network cables at one wall position — two cameras at the same corner, or a desk with two network drops.

How it works

Same construction as the 1-port model but with two keystone slots side by side. Both cables terminate at the rear; patch cables plug into the front.

What's special

• Dual-port design
• Standard wall footprint
• Works with standard keystone jacks
• Neat single-outlet for two drops

Usage

Outdoor network runs where UV, moisture and temperature extremes would destroy a standard indoor cable — external wall runs, connecting outbuildings, or shallow burial in conduit.

How it works

A 305 m drum of Cat 6 cable with a UV-resistant outer jacket and pure copper conductors. Pure copper carries PoE power over longer runs with less voltage drop than copper-clad aluminium (CCA), which matters for IP cameras on long cable runs.

What's special

• 305 m drum — enough for a full install
• UV-rated outdoor jacket
• Pure copper conductors, not CCA
• Supports PoE and full Gigabit speeds

Usage

Indoor structured cabling for IP camera and data networks where a branded, verified cable is preferred over a generic one.

How it works

A 305 m drum of unshielded twisted-pair Cat 6 with 0.5 mm solid copper conductors. Solid copper is preferred over stranded for permanent runs — it carries data and PoE more reliably over distance. Terminates to standard RJ45 plugs, keystone jacks or patch panels.

What's special

• Hikvision original cable
• Solid copper conductors (0.5 mm)
• Cat 6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet
• 305 m drum for full installations

Usage

Outdoor runs that need both weatherproofing and a thicker conductor for the longest PoE distances — external wall runs, outbuildings, gate cameras.

How it works

305 m of Cat 6 with a UV/weather-resistant PE jacket and 0.55 mm solid copper conductors — slightly thicker than the indoor model, so resistance over the run is lower and PoE voltage reaches the camera at full strength. Suitable for wall runs or burial in conduit.

What's special

• Outdoor UV-rated PE jacket
• 0.55 mm solid copper for lower voltage drop
• Supports longer PoE runs than standard cable
• Hikvision original 305 m drum

Usage

Analog CCTV installs using TVI / AHD / CVI cameras, where video travels over coax with a separate power pair alongside.

How it works

200 m of RG59 coax. Each camera connects with two runs — coax for the video signal and a pair of power wires (often bundled with the coax) for 12 V DC. The DVR receives the analog signal at the other end and records it.

What's special

• 200 m drum — standard for small analog installs
• RG59 specification, the CCTV standard
• Pairs with BNC connectors
• Works with TVI / AHD / CVI / CVBS cameras

Usage

Small termination or patch part used during Cat 6 cable installation — keystone jacks, patch-panel inserts or connectors.

How it works

A Hikvision Cat 6 accessory for terminating solid-copper cable. It sits at the end of a permanent run — at a wall outlet, patch panel or termination point — and presents a clean connection for a patch lead.

What's special

• Hikvision original part
• Designed to match the DS-1LN6 cable range
• Small unit, sold individually

Usage

Long-distance runs where copper Ethernet can't reach — connecting buildings hundreds of metres apart, or industrial sites with high electrical noise.

How it works

1000 m of fiber optic cable. Fiber carries data as light, so it isn't affected by electrical interference and runs kilometres between points without signal loss. Requires a fiber media converter or a switch with fiber ports at each end to translate between fiber and copper Ethernet.

What's special

• 1000 m drum — long-distance runs
• Immune to electrical interference (EMI)
• No distance-limiting like copper Ethernet
• Ideal for linking remote buildings back to base

Usage

Same use case as the Hawk fiber — long-distance, interference-immune links between buildings or across industrial sites.

How it works

1000 m of fiber optic cable from Sparklink. Runs between fiber-to-Ethernet media converters or fiber-capable switches at each end, and carries data as light rather than electrical signal.

What's special

• 1000 m drum
• EMI immune
• Slightly lower cost alternative to the Hawk fiber
• Suits long-distance camera backhauls

Usage

Budget-friendly indoor Cat 6 for standard IP camera and data installs where a mid-range cable is acceptable.

How it works

305 m drum of Cat 6 UTP. Compatible with standard RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks and patch panels. Pulled through ceilings, trunking or conduit and terminated at each end.

What's special

• 305 m drum for a full install
• Cat 6 UTP rating
• Low cost per metre
• Suitable for most indoor camera runs

Usage

Indoor Cat 6 network runs where a mid-grade premium cable is preferred — same use case as the standard Hawk Cat 6, upgraded construction.

How it works

Premium-grade Cat 6 UTP cable. Constructed to a slightly tighter specification than the standard Hawk cable, so it's a little more forgiving over longer runs. Terminates with standard RJ45 plugs, keystone jacks or patch panels.

What's special

• Premium UTP grade construction
• Compatible with standard Cat 6 connectors
• Good cost-to-quality balance for camera backhauls

Usage

Powering a single 12 V DC CCTV camera at the camera location when PoE isn't available — typical for analog HD cameras.

How it works

A mains-powered 12 V DC adapter with a barrel connector. It plugs into a wall socket and delivers 12 V DC to the camera's power input via a short cable. The "C8" suffix indicates a specific cable/connector variant of the model.

What's special

• 12 V DC output for standard CCTV cameras
• Compact wall-mounted form factor
• Barrel connector for direct camera connection
• Hikvision original accessory

Usage

Powering cameras that draw more current than a basic adapter can supply — models with heaters, IR arrays or audio hardware.

How it works

A mains-powered 12 V DC adapter with higher output current than the DS-2FA1205. Plugs into a wall socket and feeds the camera's power input via a barrel connector. The "C16" suffix refers to a specific cable/connector variant.

What's special

• Higher output current than the base model
• Suits cameras with heaters, IR or audio
• Compact form factor
• Hikvision original accessory

Usage

Powering a single 12 V DC CCTV camera where a compact adapter is preferred — small installs, service jobs, or replacing a failed PSU.

How it works

A mains-powered 12 V DC adapter with a barrel connector. Plugs into a wall socket and feeds the camera directly. The "C4" suffix indicates a compact cable/connector variant of the model.

What's special

• 12 V DC output for standard CCTV cameras
• Compact body
• Lowest cost of the three PSUs
• Hikvision original accessory

Usage

Small installs that need to keep the recorder and one or two switches tidy — a single-cabinet head-end for a home or small shop.

How it works

A 4U rack cabinet with a lockable glass or metal door. DVR/NVR, switches and patch panels mount on standard 19-inch rails inside. Cables route through grommets in the top or base and everything is protected from dust and accidental contact.

What's special

• 4U height — compact cabinet
• Standard 19-inch mounting rails
• Lockable door for security
• Wall-mount or small floor installation

Usage

Small-to-medium installs that need space for a DVR/NVR, switch, patch panel and a power strip in one tidy cabinet.

How it works

A 6U rack cabinet with the same lockable door and standard 19-inch rails as the 4U, but slightly taller — room for a couple more devices or a small UPS.

What's special

• 6U height — more room than the 4U
• Standard 19-inch rails
• Lockable door
• Wall or floor mount

Usage

Mid-sized head-ends — a DVR/NVR, several switches, patch panels, a power strip and a small UPS in one wall or floor cabinet.

How it works

A 9U rack cabinet with standard 19-inch rails and a lockable front door. Enough depth and height for a proper comms-room setup without needing a full-height rack.

What's special

• 9U height — flexible mid-size cabinet
• Standard 19-inch rails
• Lockable door
• Good balance of capacity and footprint

Usage

Larger head-ends — a DVR/NVR, multiple switches, patch panels, rack UPS, and possibly a small server in a proper floor-standing cabinet.

How it works

A 12U floor-standing rack cabinet with glass front door, removable side panels and standard 19-inch rails. Sufficient height for a mid-sized CCTV or comms room.

What's special

• 12U floor-standing cabinet
• Glass front door with lock
• Removable side panels for access
• Standard 19-inch rails

Usage

Half-height floor racks for proper comms rooms — larger CCTV head-ends, small server rooms or multi-tenant buildings.

How it works

A 22U floor-standing cabinet with glass front door, lockable side panels and standard 19-inch rails. Half the height of a full rack, so it suits rooms with limited vertical space.

What's special

• 22U half-height floor cabinet
• Suits comms and server rooms
• Glass front door with lock
• Standard 19-inch rails for full-width equipment

Usage

Full-height enterprise racks for data centres, large security control rooms and industrial sites where many devices need to live in one cabinet.

How it works

A 42U floor-standing cabinet — the industry-standard full rack height. Glass front door, lockable side panels, and standard 19-inch rails from top to bottom. Typically houses servers, NVRs, switches, patch panels, PDUs and UPS equipment together.

What's special

• 42U full-height floor cabinet
• Enterprise standard (data centre compatible)
• Lockable front and side access
• Standard 19-inch rails top to bottom
• Best fit for multi-device installations

Usage

Desk control of a large IP camera system — joystick for PTZ cameras, hotkeys for fast view switching, control across multiple NVRs from one point.

How it works

A network-connected controller with a joystick for PTZ, a keypad for shortcuts, and an LCD for menus. Connects over Ethernet to the NVR or Hikvision VMS and sends PTZ movement, presets, tours and camera-switching commands over the network.

What's special

• Joystick for smooth PTZ control
• Hotkeys for fast camera and view switching
• Controls multiple NVRs from one keyboard
• LCD menu display for live status
• Ethernet connection — no serial wiring

Usage

Controlling analog PTZ cameras and DVRs over RS-485 serial wiring — typically for older analog installations with PTZ domes that use the classic serial protocol.

How it works

A keyboard that connects to DVRs and analog PTZ cameras over RS-485. It sends pan, tilt, zoom and preset commands down the serial bus, and receives status feedback. Configuration is done on the keyboard or on the DVR, depending on the setup.

What's special

• RS-485 serial control
• Suits older analog PTZ installations
• Joystick and keypad in one unit
• Lower cost than the network model

Usage

A compact desk controller for small-to-medium IP camera systems where a full-size keyboard is unnecessary.

How it works

A network-connected control unit providing keypad and joystick control over IP cameras on the same network. It connects to the NVR or VMS over Ethernet and sends control commands for PTZ, view switching and playback.

What's special

• Compact network control unit
• Budget option versus the DS-1200KI
• Joystick for PTZ and playback scrubbing
• Ethernet connection
