Configuring Hikvision card groups

The Hikvision Card Group object is intended for grouping cards when setting up the Hikvision multiple card configuration (see Setting up multiple Hikvision cards). 

You can configure the Hikvision card groups via the Hikvision Card Group object configuration panel, which is created on the basis of the Hikvision 26X and Hikvision K1T605XF objects manually or automatically after reading the configuration from the corresponding controller (see Network settings of the Hikvision controller and Configuring the Hikvision controller). As an example of configuring the Hikvision card groups, let's consider a Hikvision 26X controller.

To configure the Hikvision card groups, do the following:

1. Go to the settings panel of the Hikvision Card Group object.
   
2. From the Number drop-down list (1) , select ID numbers of card groups (from 1 to 32) corresponding to their ID numbers in the Hikvision controller.
3. In the Group name field (2), enter the card group names.

4. In the Begin field (3), use the  button to set the activation time for each card group.

   Note.

   The beginning of the card group period can not be set after the end of the card group period. It is recommended to set the valid end date for the card group period first (see step 5).

5. In the End field (4), use the button to set the de-activation time for each card group.

   Note.

   The end of the card group period can not be set before the start of it.

6. Click the Apply button (5) to save the settings.

The Hikvision card groups are now configured.
