Rain Shield for Single-Module Hikvision Gen2 Door Stations

The DS-KABD8003-RS1 is a surface-mount rain shield for the DS-KD8003-IME1 and DS-KD8003-IME2 modular door stations. It is a small part with a disproportionate effect on how long an outdoor door station lasts: most stations are rated IP65, which covers driven rain, but a shield keeps the majority of the water off the seals in the first place rather than relying on them.

Key Details

• Keeps water off the panel — A door station's weak points are its microphone port, its card reader window and the seam around its buttons. A shield stops rain running down the wall and across all three, which is where most water ingress on an outdoor station actually starts.
• Protects the camera image — It also shades the lens. Droplets sitting on the cover glass turn a caller into a blur, and direct low sun straight into the lens washes the picture out entirely — a hood fixes both.
• SECC steel construction — Formed in SECC steel, matched to the station's own finish so the assembly still looks deliberate rather than patched.
• Sized for a single module — Made for the DS-KD8003-IME1 and DS-KD8003-IME2 modular door stations. The shield has to match the panel width exactly or it either leaves an edge exposed or fouls the buttons.

Where It Fits

Fit one to any door station that is not already under a decent eave or porch roof. It is inexpensive, it takes minutes at install time, and replacing a water-damaged door station costs many times more. On a west or weather-facing entrance, treat it as required rather than optional.
