Hikvision AX PRO wireless alarm

How to choose

• ✓Type and scale of the site: for a small apartment, a basic kit with a hub and several sensors is sufficient; for an office, cottage, or small warehouse, an expanded configuration with a large number of zones and repeaters to cover remote rooms will be needed.
• ✓Hub capacity: the DS-PWA96 model supports up to 96 devices; when designing, allow a margin of at least 20% over the current number of zones — this will allow adding sensors when expanding the protected area without replacing equipment.
• ✓Set of detectors: a standard kit includes opening (magnetic contact), motion (PIR or dual-technology PIR+microwave), glass-break, and smoke detectors. For spaces with plumbing or for basements, it makes sense to add flood detectors.
• ✓High-sensitivity zones: in spaces with pets, choose motion detectors with a pet-immunity function — for example, the DS-PDC10AM-EG2 with an active IR detector. This will reduce the number of false alarms.
• ✓Radio coverage: before installation, check the signal level at each installation point. If the signal is weaker than permissible, a DS-PR1-WB radio repeater is installed between the hub and the outermost sensors, retransmitting the signal without loss of encryption.
• ✓Notification and integration: AX PRO supports push notifications via the Hik-Connect app, integration with Hikvision IP cameras (recording on alarm), as well as connection to a central monitoring station via the CID protocol. Clarify in advance whether security with a response team dispatch is needed.
• ✓Backup power: the hub has a built-in battery, peripheral devices run on replaceable batteries. Check the battery life of the chosen sensors — for most AX PRO devices it is several years at a standard polling frequency.

Applications

• ✓Residential sites: apartments, private houses, and cottages where it is undesirable to disturb the finish with cable chasing. Quick installation and smartphone control make AX PRO a convenient solution for self-monitoring of security.
• ✓Offices and business centers: protection of work areas, server rooms, and meeting rooms with time-based arming/disarming segregation. Support for multiple partitions allows independent management of the security of different tenants in one building.
• ✓Retail outlets and small shops: quick deployment without major renovation, protection against unauthorized entry during off-hours with automatic alarm dispatch to the owner's smartphone.
• ✓Warehouse and industrial premises: perimeter control using motion sensors, protection of entrance groups and valuables storage zones, integration with video recorders for recording on alarm.
• ✓Temporary-deployment sites: construction sites, temporary offices, exhibition pavilions — the wireless architecture allows dismantling and relocating the system without damaging the equipment.
• ✓Educational institutions and medical facilities: protection against entry during off-hours, monitoring of rooms with equipment, panic buttons for staff.

Brands and models in the catalog

• ✓Hikvision AX PRO — the only trademark in this category, represented in full. The lineup includes the DS-PWA96 hub with a capacity of 96 zones, the full range of wireless sensors, and peripheral devices.
• ✓Motion sensors: DS-PDC10AM-EG2 (standard PIR) and DS-PDD12P-EG2 with dual PIR+microwave technology for spaces with high requirements for the absence of false triggers.
• ✓Magnetic contact sensors: DS-PDMC-EG2 for doors and windows, DS-PDMCS-EG2 for sliding structures — both variants with a radio channel and two-way communication with the hub.
• ✓Specialized detectors: DS-PDBG8 — a glass-break detector; DS-PDSMK-S — a smoke detector; DS-PDWL-E — a flood sensor. All devices are from a single ecosystem and are managed through the unified Hik-Connect interface.
• ✓Peripherals and accessories: DS-PS1-E siren, DS-PDEBP1-EG2 panic button, DS-PR1-WB radio repeater, mounting brackets for detectors — everything needed for professional installation.
