Hi
does anyone know the difference between
DS-KD8003-IME1(B)
vs
DS-KD8003-IME1 --- NO B
and is one version 1 ? or are they both version 2?
many thanks
Nice catch regarding FOVB have different cmos (older had 180° fisheye, new ones 146° V)
B have 12V DC output (in non-B with poe it was working, but wasnt specified like should not be used)
B have already newer firmware
In my experience with Hikvision never get older ones unless you are 100% sure you need older one (like in 2wire intercoms that are not compatbile with new Y versions etc).
Better to use low power locks that draw about 250-300mA, and even better just install additional power cable or 2x lan and use separate circuit/psu for lock.Nice catch regarding FOV
Regarding output, on older version it worked rly good, on B version varry between 6 to 12V barely 0.5Amps sometimes itll work sometimes wont
Hence.5 amps AC bolts wont work as they draw up to 2amps of DC when unlocking
Or just 1 Cat5 or 6 and crimp out 1,2,3,6 which will give 100mbit network + poe and leave 4,5,7,8 for 12V PS in.Better to use low power locks that draw about 250-300mA, and even better just install additional power cable or 2x lan and use separate circuit/psu for lock.
Dc out can also be used to power some card readers like DS-K1107AM, or illumination in the exit button, so not that useless.
