Common settings of Hikvision reader

You can configure common settings of a Hikvision reader via the Hikvision 26X Reader, Hikvision 28X Reader, and Hikvision K1T605XF Reader objects configuration panel, which are created on the basis of the Hikvision 26X, Hikvision 28X, 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 common settings of a Hikvision reader, let's consider a Hikvision 26X controller.

To configure the Hikvision reader common settings, do the following:

1. Go to the Hikvision 28X Reader object setup panel.
   
2. From the Direction drop-down list (1), select the reader's direction: Exit or Entrance.
3. Go to the Common tab (2).
4. The Description field (3) displays a brief description of the reader.
5. The reader type is displayed in the Reader type name field (4).
6. Check the Enable reader box (5) to activate the reader.

13. In the Max. times of card swiping failure field (12), set the critical number of consecutive card swipes to generate an alarm if the Failed attempts limit box (11) is checked.
14. Check the Tampering detection box (13) to enable the detection of device tampering attempts.
