Settings of Hikvision outdoor magnetic contact

Besides setting the opening detection, you can make a number of other adjustments. For example, you can choose to use the detector as a doorbell function. As soon as someone opens the door, you will hear a bell on your phone. This doorbell function is ideal for shopkeepers, so that you are informed when someone opens your door. In addition, you can indicate when the detector should detect. Only when you switch on the alarm system, or permanently for example.

Works on batteries

The detector is like all Hikvision products in the AX Pro alarm system, running on batteries. The normal version of the Hikvision magnetic contact has just as the motion detectors the battery of the type CR123A on board, and is therefore completely wireless. All detectors can therefore be easily placed anywhere without having to lay cables. The batteries supplied as standard have a lifespan of 5 years in normal use. After this time, they are easy to replace by new ones. These batteries are always available from stock. You can find out how to replace the batteries in the manual of the magnetic contact DS-PDMCX-E-WE.
