Hikvision Face Recognition Access Control Terminal DS-K1T320MFWX

The DS-K1T320MFWX is a wall-mounted face recognition terminal from Hikvision’s K1T320 value series — the reader that sits beside one door and decides who goes through it. It is specified for a single controlled entrance: an office main door, a clinic reception, a compound gate. The suffix is the whole point of the model code — Speed4Trading also stocks the DS-K1T320MX, DS-K1T320MWX, DS-K1T320MFWX-B and DS-K1T321MFWX, and those letters are exactly what separates them. The precise credential set and connectivity of this variant are confirmed on the datasheet, so get it from us before you build a quotation around it.

A face terminal is bought for a door, but it is specified for the people behind it. What chooses the model is how many users must be enrolled, who will enrol them, what the terminal does when the network drops, and whether the client wants attendance records or only door release.

Where it earns its place on a job

It belongs where cards have stopped working as a control — the staff door where three people share one card, the tenant entrance where nobody can say who still holds a credential. A face terminal removes the transferable token, and that is the real reason clients ask for one.

It is the wrong answer for some doors, and saying so early saves an argument. A door used by a large rotating population — visitors, drivers, day labour — generates enrolment work every day, and somebody at the client has to own it.

Worth repeating to a client: the mounting takes an afternoon, but the enrolment never ends — a face terminal is where an access-control job stops being hardware and starts being data.

Before you order — three things to confirm

• Capacity against real headcount, plus growth. Count everyone who will ever need that door — staff, cleaners, contractors, the branch sharing the entrance — add two years of hiring, then compare with the enrolled-user capacity on the datasheet. Turnover is the other half of the figure: every leaver is a record someone must delete.
• The lock and everything around it. The terminal does not come with the lock, the lock’s power supply, the exit button, the door contact or the cabling. Decide fail-safe or fail-secure with the client, and with whoever signs off on fire escape, because that changes which lock you buy.
• Attendance, and where the records live. “We want attendance” and “we want the door to open” are two scopes with two costs. If the client wants timesheets, confirm which software holds the records and who reconciles them with payroll — before you quote.

Compatibility

This is a Hikvision access-control device, managed within Hikvision’s own access-control software; the supported platform and network method for this variant are listed on the datasheet, which we will send on request. The compatibility that decides the job is on the door itself: the lock, its power supply and the exit device are separate line items. Send us the model numbers of any controller already on site and we will confirm the pairing.

What’s in the box

• Manufacturer’s standard accessory pack and documentation as boxed by Hikvision — itemised on the datasheet
• Not included: lock, lock power supply, exit button, door contact and cabling — order these separately

Common questions on this model

How many people can we enrol on it?
That figure decides your job, so we will not quote it from memory. It is stated on the manufacturer datasheet — call 16454 and we will send it, and say honestly if your headcount points to a larger model.

What happens if the network goes down?
Behaviour on network loss — whether the door keeps working from users held on the device, and what happens to the event log — is a datasheet question, not a marketing claim. Confirm it with us, then test it on site.

Can we use it for attendance as well as opening the door?
Access control and attendance reporting are separate scopes. Tell us which the client is buying and we will confirm what this variant supports and where the records live.
