The Hikvision Alarm Kit, Hikvision Alarm System.
It may seem that they do not have enough of a reputation for being the world’s number #1 leading CCTV products manufacturer, and now they are bursting onto the Alarm Systems market. Today we have a few Pyronix and Hikvision insights for you, and an answer to the question: «What Happens When 2 Greatest CCTV Companies Unite To Create A Wireless Alarm System?», and also a Hikvision + Pyronix Wireless Alarm Kit Review.
Pyronix
You probably heard of Pyronix. Founded in 1986, by 2015 had an extreme quantity of security awards. Known for the 1987 world’s smallest Passive infrared sensor launch. Julie Kenny, Pyronix MD, became the first female Director of the British Security Association in 1992. The first Award in IFSEC London for the Pyronix Equinox CDA. One more award in 1997, manufacturer of the year in 2001, according to Italy and Poland. Ifsec Entire Industry award in 2002, Security Excellence Award in 2004… quite a few.
To end the timeline, in 2016 Hikvision acquired Pyronix, and after that the new chapter began in the lives of both companies. Three of the awards are a merit of a Pyronix Enforcer System. This is why we are reviewing Hikvision’s Pyronix Enforcer reinventing model. Hikvision Wireless Control Panel DS-PWA32-KST.
Kit Contents:
• Wireless Alarm Hub
• Magnetic Contact, or the Door Opening Sensor
• Motion Detector
• The Keyfob
• Additional Magnetic Keyfobs – 5 pcs.
What The Sensors Are Capable Of:
1. The Hub is the system’s brain. The sensors are observing a scene, and if a triggered event happens, like spotting the intruder’s movement, the information is instantly sent to the hub, which in turn decides what to do according to the settings we’ve set on it. It can be loud notifications, like when your phone and hub are noisy, hard, or calling a security company and report of situation.
2. Motion Detect is you know what it is. The infrared sensor that spots the movement. Being installed on the wall’s corner overhead, right below the ceiling. Nothing spectacular, except the fact that this is a Pyronix plus Hikvision development. And also, it supports such doorbell functions as ringing when it is triggered in a disarming status.
3. Magnetic Contact, or the Door Opening Sensor. Consists of 2 pieces: the main sensor and a magnet. It works this way: you install it on your door on the internal side of it, and then if the system and the sensor are in armed position, these 2 contacts disjunction launches the trigger event, and then this status is transmitted to the Hub.
4. The Keyfob. Well, the process of working with the entire system is based on using your phone and a pre-installed Hik-connect app. You can get one for free on the App Store and Google Play. Yet, why do you need it? Well, after you unlock your phone with the 2-step verification, get into the app, input password there, disarm the system, call a security company, or press the panic button – It takes time! While the keyfob is very unhindereably reachable, because it’s in your pocket, and here you have buttons, you don’t have to wait, it won’t discharge, no passwords, the pure buttons only. This is faster, and that is why it is included within a package.
5. Additional Magnetic Keyfobs. Simply a “card” to have on every family member’s keychain so you can arm or disarm the system by just touching the hub with it. No phone needed, no buttoned keyfob needed. Only the physical touch.

Yet, I really believe these companies, and that is why we are reviewing it and going to make a 1-week test drive to see how good it is in use.
