Hikvision DS-K1A8503MF-B/Africa – Fingerprint Time Attendance Terminal with Backup Battery

The Hikvision DS-K1A8503MF-B/Africa is a reliable Fingerprint Time Attendance Terminal designed for employee attendance management, workforce monitoring, and biometric identification in offices, schools, factories, warehouses, hotels, retail businesses, and other organizations. The Hikvision DS-K1A8503MF-B/Africa combines fingerprint recognition, M1 card authentication, a 2.4-inch LCD display, TCP/IP networking, USB report export, and backup battery support in a compact wall-mounted design. Hikvision's published specifications identify the DS-K1A8503MF-B as a K1A8503 Value Series fingerprint time-attendance terminal.

The Hikvision DS-K1A8503MF-B/Africa features a 2.4-inch LCD-TFT display that shows the time, date, week, and attendance information, making daily clock-in and clock-out operations straightforward. The Hikvision DS-K1A8503MF-B/Africa is designed for standalone operation, allowing users, fingerprints, and cards to be added directly to the terminal.

Using an optical fingerprint recognition module, the Hikvision DS-K1A8503MF-B/Africa supports both 1:1 and 1:N fingerprint comparison. In 1:N mode, fingerprint recognition takes less than one second, providing fast employee verification for busy entrances and workplaces. The terminal supports up to 1,000 fingerprints, 1,000 M1 cards, and 100,000 event records.

The Hikvision DS-K1A8503MF-B/Africa supports fingerprint and M1 card authentication, while the wider DS-K1A8503MF-B documentation also identifies card and fingerprint-based attendance operation. The M1 card reading distance is up to approximately 5 cm, providing convenient contactless authentication.

For attendance management, the Hikvision DS-K1A8503MF-B/Africa supports multiple attendance states, including check-in, check-out, break-in, break-out, overtime-in, and overtime-out. It can configure up to 32 normal shifts, 32 man-hour shifts, and 32 attendance holiday schedules, while automatically generating attendance reports.
