You can configure a Hikvision reader via the settings panel of the Hikvision reader object, which is automatically created on the basis of Hikvision 26X or Hikvision 28X object after reading the configuration from the corresponding controller (see Network settings of the Hikvision controller and Configuring the Hikvision controller). As an example of Hikvision reader configuration, let's consider a Hikvision reader connected to a Hikvision 26X controller.

To configure the Hikvision reader, do the following:

1. Go to the Hikvision reader setup panel.
   
2. In the Direction drop-down list (3), you see the reader's direction: Exit or Entrance. You can not change this value.
3. The Description field (4) contains a brief description of the reader.
4. The reader type is displayed in the Reader Type Name field (5).
5. Check the Enable Reader box (6) to activate the reader.
6. From the OK LED Polarity drop-down list (7), select the buzzer's polarity on a successful card swipe.
7. From the Error LED Polarity drop-down list (8), select the buzzer's polarity on a successful card swipe.
8. From the Buzzer Polarity drop-down list (9), select a reader buzzer's polarity.
9. In the Min. Card Swiping Interval, s field (10), specify the minimum time interval between two consecutive card swipes. You can set the interval from 0 to 255 seconds.
10. In the Max. Interval for Password Digit, s field (11), specify the timeout interval between consecutive pressings of numeric keys while entering the password. If the time interval exceeds the timeout value, all previous entries are cancelled.
11. Check the Failed Attempts Limit box (12) to automatically generate an alarm in case of exceeding the permitted number of card swipes set in the Max Times of Card Swiping Failure field (13).
12. In the Max Times of Card Swiping Failure field (13), set the critical number of consecutive card swipes to generate an alarm if the Failed Attempts Limit box (12) is checked.
13. Check the Tampering Detection box (14) to enable the detection of device tampering attempts.
14. In the Detect When Reader Is Offline for, s field (15) field, specify the timeout interval to de-activate the reader on lost connection to the Hikvision controller.
15. Check the Connected by RS485 box (16) if the reader is connected through the RS-485 interface.

16. Check the Control Reader box (17) if you want the reader to assign card codes in the Access Manager module.

    Info
    title Note.
    Make sure to check the Hikvision door to which the reader is connected on the Readers tab of the Access Manager object settings panel (see Access Manager Module Settings and Operation Guide).

The Hikvision reader is now configured .
