Hikvision Rain Shield | Anti-Drizzle Visor for DS-KV6113 Door Station | DS-KABV6113-A

FAQs

Why would I need an angled mounting bracket?

An angled mounting bracket is essential when the wall or mounting surface is not perpendicular to the visitor approach path. For example, if your door station must be mounted on an angled wall, recessed entrance, or corner location, the bracket allows you to angle the camera up to 30 degrees to ensure it faces visitors directly. This ensures optimal face capture for identification, proper eye contact during video calls, and professional system operation regardless of architectural constraints.

What door station models is this bracket compatible with?

The DS-KABV6113-A is designed for Hikvision’s KV6113 series villa door stations and the DS-KB2422T-IM modular door station. This includes models such as DS-KV6113-WPE1(C), DS-KV6113-PE1(C), DS-KV6103-PE1(C), DS-KB2422T-IM, and DS-KB2422T-IM(B). It’s also compatible with various DS-KIS intercom kits that include these door stations. Always verify your specific door station model before ordering.

How much angle adjustment does this bracket provide?

The DS-KABV6113-A provides up to 30 degrees of angle adjustment. This range is typically sufficient for most installation scenarios including angled walls, corner installations, or situations where the door station needs to be tilted to capture taller or shorter visitors optimally. The adjustment allows you to fine-tune the camera angle during installation for the best visitor coverage.

What is the benefit of the fiberglass-reinforced construction?

The PC + 10% fiberglass composite material provides significantly enhanced strength and durability compared to standard plastic brackets. The fiberglass reinforcement increases impact resistance, prevents flexing or warping under load, improves dimensional stability across temperature extremes, and extends the bracket’s lifespan in outdoor environments. This is particularly important for angled brackets which experience different stress loads than flat-mounted installations.

Can this bracket withstand extreme temperatures?

Yes, the DS-KABV6113-A operates reliably across an exceptional temperature range of -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to 158°F). This makes it suitable for virtually any climate worldwide, from arctic conditions to hot desert environments. The fiberglass-reinforced construction maintains its structural integrity and dimensional accuracy throughout this entire temperature range.

Will the bracket add significant depth to my installation?

The bracket adds 35.2mm of depth to your installation, which is relatively minimal considering it provides 30-degree angle adjustment capability. The compact design (133.1mm × 60.1mm × 35.2mm) ensures the bracket provides necessary functionality without creating an overly protruding installation. The added depth is a necessary trade-off for the angle adjustment capability.

Can I use this bracket with the rain shield (DS-KABV6113-RS)?

While the documentation doesn’t explicitly confirm compatibility, both accessories are designed for the same KV6113 series door stations. In most cases, the rain shield can be used in conjunction with the angled bracket, though you may need to verify clearances during installation. Contact Hikvision technical support or your installer to confirm compatibility for your specific configuration.

Is the angle adjustable after installation?

The bracket is typically set to the desired angle during initial installation. While the design may allow for angle readjustment, this would require loosening mounting fasteners and potentially disturbing the door station. For best results, determine the optimal angle during installation using temporary positioning, then secure the bracket permanently at that angle.

How do I determine what angle I need?

Before installation, observe the visitor approach path and the mounting surface angle. The goal is to position the door station camera so it faces visitors directly at average head height (typically 1.5-1.7m from ground level). If your wall is angled, measure or estimate the angle difference from perpendicular. The bracket can compensate for up to 30 degrees of wall angle to achieve proper camera orientation.

Can I install this bracket on an existing door station?

Yes, the DS-KABV6113-A can be retrofitted to existing compatible door station installations. You would need to remove the door station from its current mounting, install the angled bracket on the wall, and then remount the door station on the bracket. This allows you to correct angle issues or optimize camera coverage on installations that were originally flush-mounted but need angle adjustment.
