Hikvision Face Recognition Terminal DS-K1T320MX

The DS-K1T320MX is the shortest model code in the K1T320 face access family this catalogue stocks, sitting under the MWX, MFWX and MFWX-B versions. On most access jobs the quote is written the other way round: the fullest variant goes on the schedule because that is faster than asking which credentials anybody will enrol.

What you are specifying is a face terminal for one leaf: mounted beside the door, wired into the release arrangement you were already designing. The longer suffixes sit above it on capability. On the right site that is worth every pound; on the wrong site it is features nobody switches on, bought once and administered forever.

Where it fits

Ask who walks through the door. A single office entrance with a fixed team of thirty is one enrolment session and then silence: the faces go on once and no second credential type is ever used. That is where the base variant earns its place — nothing dormant in the configuration, one fewer thing on the commissioning sheet.

The counter-cases are real, and you spot them at survey. Multi-site staff already carrying a credential for another building will not thank you for a terminal that cannot read it. Contractors, agency shifts and visitors need a credential you can issue and revoke without sitting somebody in front of a camera. And where a fallback credential is mandated, by client policy or an insurer, the argument is over and you should quote the fuller DS-K1T320MFWX instead. Otherwise, be suspicious of the reflex. Every credential type you enable is a second front door — another enrolment queue, another support call, and one more thing somebody must remember to delete the day a person leaves.

Before you order — three things to confirm

• The credential list, in writing — make the client name every method they intend to enrol, not every one they might like. Faces only means the base variant is the correct buy; a card or code on that list means moving up the family now, because the hardware cannot be added later.
• Power and the door release — confirm the supply arrangement and what the terminal must drive at the door, against the datasheet, not the last job. Lock, power supply and release hardware are separate line items.
• Who owns enrolment afterwards — name the person who adds a starter and removes a leaver, and confirm they can reach the terminal or the management platform. Access control nobody administers stops being access control within a year.

Compatibility

The terminal belongs to Hikvision’s access control line, commissioned and administered through Hikvision’s own access platform, not as an island. If the site already runs a Hikvision access system, tell us the platform and version and we will confirm compatibility. Door hardware is supplied separately.

What’s in the box

We do not list accessories we cannot guarantee: pack contents change quietly between manufacturing revisions. Contents for the current revision are confirmed on the order before it ships. Treat every lock, power supply and mounting accessory as a separate quotation line.

Common questions

Our staff already carry cards for the car park barrier. Will this terminal read them?
Do not assume it will. Which credential methods this suffix supports is a datasheet question, and if reusing an existing card population matters, that alone decides the variant. Call 16454 with the card type in front of you.

If we start with the MX and later need a second credential method, can we add it?
Not by configuration — you would be swapping the terminal. That sounds like an argument to over-specify, but on one door it is a cheap mistake to correct later; on thirty it is a costly one to make now.

What happens on the day somebody’s face will not read?
Somebody lets them in. If that person exists and the door is staffed, the base variant is fine. If the door must resolve it on its own, at night, with no call to reception, a fallback credential is not optional.
