Chapter 2. General Info
DKS151xx Multi-user IP Door Stations are designed for organizing access control to
communal entrance hallways. The IP Door Station is utilizing a 1.3 MP camera to ensure high quality
video footage. Audio (Duplex) and Video are transmitted via SIP protocol. Access can be granted by
using wireless marks via RFID Reader (125 KHz/ 13,56 MHz). Up to 9999 subscribers are supported,
which makes the device a perfect solution for hotels or high-rise apartment houses.
Pic. 2.1
DKS151xx is an IP device with built-in microphone, speaker, video camera, IR illumination,
keypad, display and RFID reader. The housing is vandal-resistant and may be mounted next to the
entrance. The device is used for establishing Audio and video connection between the Guest and the
Client (Subscriber); conducting video surveillance of the entrance; granting access via RFID keys and
secret codes; managing of other devices, connected to the door station (e.g. electric locks, swing
gates, electric switches, alarm systems etc.). IR illumination (max range –10 meters) and the IR-filter
allow for video surveillance during nighttime.
Since the device supports modern network technologies, it can be using as a part of a more
complex IP-based surveillance system.
The door station is connected to the network via 10BASET/100BASE-TX Ethernet interface.
Its power is supplied from a DC 12V power source.
The device is even more reliable due to its SD card support that prevents loss of data in case
of network failures.
If for some reason the door station breaks down, the current settings will not be lost, as they
are stored in the pre-installed USB drive. Just dismount the drive and insert into a different door
station and it will be the exact copy of your previous device, except for the MAC address (make sure
that both devices have the same IP firmware version).

Chapter 3. Getting Started
3.1. Installation of ActiveX components and Authorization
Step 1: Connect the door station following the Installation User Manual.
Step 2: Run Internet Explorer and enter the following path in the address :
http://<IP>:<PORT>, where <IP> is the IP address of the door station, <PORT> is number of the port
used for HTTP connection to the device.
NOTE:
Default HTTP-port is –80. You don’t need to enter the port number if you connect via the default HTTP
port.
If the path is correct, the authorization window will open.
NOTE:
There are 2 ways to obtain the IP address for the device: 1) Obtain the address automatically from the
DHCP server according to your LAN setup. 2) Use the user-defined IP address. See 8.2 of this manual to
learn more about the available network options. Please consult your system administration before using
the device..
Step 3: Enter login and password and click OK. Default username –admin, default password
–admin (Pic. 3.1).
Attention!
After authorization you can change login and password in Config –System –Access Policy. If you lose
your login and password, you can reset the door station to default settings. To do so you need to press
and hold the reset button 3 times for 10 seconds with 1 second pauses between each press

Quality: “Basic”/”Normal”/”Fine”.
NOTE:
You can change quality only if the «Advanced»option is disabled.
Advanced: Enabling this option grants access to the following parameters. :
Rate control: Choose the type of bitrate control:
CBR: Constant bitrate is prioritized while the image quality may change over time. The
current bitrate value approaches the bitrate value you specify in the “Bitrate” field. You can
also specify permitted deviation in the “Bitrate fluctuation” field.

Chapter 7.Config.Video Settings.
DKS151xx Multi-user IP Door Station Operation User Manual

VBR: Image quality is prioritized, while the bitrate may vary, according to different conditions in
the surveillance area. The average bitrate value will approach the value you specify in the “Bitrate”
field but the current value may vary significantly
Bitrate flunctuation: «Self-adaption»means that the bitrate value will be controlled by
software. By selecting «±10%» ~ «±50%» the bitrate will change according to surveillance conditions
within the permitted deviation
Bitrate: set the data transmission speed (available range: 30 ~ 16384 kbit/s). Higher bitrate
value results in higher image quality as well higher resource requirements
Frame rate: Set the framerate. it is not recommended to set to high value at low network
bitrate, which would result in choppy video.
I frame: Set the interval of I-frames. Available range: 1-200. Lower value results in higher
bitrate and higher image quality. It is recommended to set to the same value as the framerate.
[LAN], [WAN]: Templates of coding settings –allow to set the recommended value for LAN
and WAN connections with one click.
[LAN]:
Main stream: «I-frame» –50, «Frame rate» –25 fps, «Rate control» –VBR, «Bitrate» –
