How to set up the Hikvision DS-KV6114-MWBE1 villa door station

Before fixing your Hikvision DS-KV6114-MWBE1 to the wall, set it up on a table and make one successful call. You can then check the camera view at the entrance, connect the lock and give each household member their own card or Bluetooth access.

In this guide

1. Connect the door station to your network

For the first setup, connect the station by Ethernet to an IEEE 802.3at PoE+ switch or injector on your home network. This supplies power and data through the same cable. Connect your Windows PC to the same local network.

If you use separate power, Hikvision specifies 12V DC, 1.2A. Check polarity against the supplied wiring diagram before applying power. For a wireless installation, the station supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and still needs a power supply. Keep the wired connection until you have saved the wireless settings, then check that the station is reachable over Wi-Fi.

2. Download HiTools Delivery and activate the station

Open the official Hikvision UK HiTools download page. Select HiTools Delivery and download the Windows installer. If you see HiTools Designer alongside it, that tool is for planning an installation. Delivery is the tool that discovers and activates the physical door station.

  1. Install and open HiTools Delivery. From its home screen, open Search, choose Current Subnet and click Refresh.
  2. Find DS-KV6114-MWBE1. Check its serial number against the label so you select the right unit.
  3. If its status is Inactive, select the station, enter and confirm a unique administrator password, then click Activation. Wait for the status to change to Activated. If it already shows as active, use the credentials set by its owner or installer.
  4. Note the IP address in the device list. If needed, use Delivery’s network settings to assign a suitable address on your router’s subnet. Open that address in your browser i.e 192.168.1.XXX, sign in and check the time zone and clock. Accurate time makes it easier to trace calls and unlock events.

3. Choose where the call button rings

For an indoor monitor: Open the setup wizard on your compatible Hikvision indoor station. Select the villa unit as the main door station and complete registration. Check the monitor’s room number and set the door station’s call destination to that room. Press the physical call button, answer on the monitor and have someone at each end speak.

For a mobile phone: Enable Hik-Connect or Platform Access on the device you are linking and check that it shows Online. In the owner’s Hik-Connect app, use Add Device, scan the device QR code and enter the verification code if requested. If your system uses an indoor monitor, check its mobile-client settings first. Allow call notifications, switch your phone to mobile data and press the physical door button to check that an incoming call rings away from your home Wi-Fi.

4. Test the correct lock with the door open

The station has two lock relays, rated up to 30V DC, 2A. The separate power output is rated up to 12V DC, 1A. These ratings serve different purposes. Have your installer check the lock supply, relay contacts and release duration against the lock manufacturer’s instructions and the door station wiring diagram. For a gate, use the gate controller’s specified release input.

Keep the door open for the first test. Answer a call, select the intended lock and confirm that it releases and secures again. If you control both a gate and a door, test each separately and check the normal exit method before closing the door.

5. Give residents card or Bluetooth access

Proximity card or fob. Use a 13.56MHz M1 credential. In the owner’s Hik-Connect account, select the resident in family member management and add a card credential. Enter the card serial number or follow the prompt to present it to the reader. Assign the correct entrance and access period. Test the card at close range, about 2cm from the reader.

Bluetooth unlock. Give the resident access through their own Hik-Connect account, turn on phone Bluetooth and grant the app nearby-device permission. Stand beside the station and test manual unlock. If you enable automatic unlock on a two-lock installation, select the default lock first. Hikvision says that leaving this unset can release both locks. App menus and available options depend on firmware and app version.

6. Mount the station and make a final test call

Hold the camera at its proposed height while someone stands at the call button. Check that their face is visible, then secure the station and seal the cable entry as shown in the model’s Quick Start Guide. Check the picture after dark, particularly if a nearby wall or frame catches the infrared light.

If something does not work

  • The station does not appear in Delivery. Check power, the Ethernet link and that the PC and station are on the same network segment. Refresh the current subnet.
  • You can see video but the monitor does not ring. Compare the button’s call destination with the room number registered on the monitor.
  • The monitor rings but the phone stays silent. Check Platform Access is online and that the phone permits Hik-Connect call notifications.
  • The relay clicks but the door stays locked. Ask the installer to check the selected relay, lock supply and contact wiring. If the monitor can release the lock but a card cannot, check that resident’s door permissions.
