The ability to configure multiple Hikvision cards depends on the Hikvision controller model. Configuring multiple Hikvision cards will be illustrated by an example of the Hikvision 26X controller.

Set up Hikvision card groups before setting up the multicard configuration (see Configuring the Hikvision card groups).

To configure multiple Hikvision cards, do the following:

  1. Go to the Hikvision Multicard config object settings panel.
  2. Check the Offline authentication box (1) to enable authentication using Super Password for an autonomous access point.
  3. From the Number drop-down list (2), select a configuration ID number (1 to 20) corresponding to configuration's ID in the Hikvision controller.
  4. Select a time zone from the Timezone drop-down list (3).
  5. Select an authentication type from the Authentication type (4) drop-down list:
    1. Local Authentication is performed by regular user IDs (cards). You can link up to 8 card groups with this authentication type.
    2. Local Auth. and Remotely Open authentication automatically passes local ID check results to a remote operator for taking access decision. You can link up to 7 card groups with this authentication type.
    3. Local Auth. and Super Password authentication extends local ID check with the request for Super Password.
  6. To add a card group to the Card group column (6), select a group in the Multicard combination (5) panel and press the button .
  7. To remove a group from the Card group column (6), select it and click the  button .
  8. Use the  and  buttons to move a card group within the Card group column (6).
  9. In the Sw. times column (7), you can use the  and  buttons to change the number of different card swipes required for granting access.

    The maximum time between card readings/password entries and other authorization methods should not exceed the time specified in the Multiauthentication swipe time field (see Configuring the Hikvision door).


  10. Click Apply (8).

The Hikvision multicard configuration is now complete.
