The Hikvision Card Group object is used for grouping cards when configuring the Hikvision multiple cards (see Configuring multiple Hikvision cards). 

Hikvision card groups configuration options depend on Hikvision controller/terminal model. Configuration of the Hikvision card groups will be illustrated by an example of the Hikvision DS-K26x series 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, in the range from 1 to 32, select the number that corresponds to the number of the card group in the Hikvision controller. 
  3. In the Group name field, enter the card group name.

  4. In the Begin field, use the button to specify the beginning of the effective period of the card group. The effective period depends on the specified end period. It is recommended to first specify the correct end date of the card group period (see step 5).

  5. In the End field, use the button to specify the end of the effective period of the card group.

  6. Click the Apply button to save the settings.
