Hikvision DS-KAD706Y-S 2-Wire Intercom Master Distributor with Loop-Through

The Hikvision DS-KAD706Y-S is a 2-wire IP video/audio master distributor unit designed specifically for use within Hikvision's 2-wire video intercom systems. This compact yet powerful distribution module plays a pivotal role in multi-apartment or multi-residence environments, where multiple indoor and outdoor video intercom devices must communicate effectively over a streamlined infrastructure.

The DS-KAD706Y-S acts as both a hub for data and power distribution to multiple DS-KAD706Y 2-Wire Intercom Distributors, enabling integration with the broader IP-based Hikvision intercom ecosystem. Its design eliminates the need for extensive rewiring by using existing 2-wire cabling, making it ideal for retrofits in apartment buildings and other multi-unit dwellings.

The DS-KAD706Y-S features 6 cascade 2-wire interfaces allowing for up to 6 DS-KAD706Y 2-Wire Intercom Distributors

Application

In a multi-apartment building with, for example, 5 flats per floor, 1 DS-KAD706Y distributor can be deployed as a distribution unit on each floor, providing power and data for up to 5 indoor touchscreens and 1 video intercom unit, which in turn would be connected back to a DS-KAD706Y-S master distributor, which could cover up to 6 floors per unit:

Example:

• A main outdoor station (e.g., DS-KD8003Y-IME2) is installed at the building entrance.
• Each apartment has an indoor video touchscreen (e.g., DS-KH6320Y-WTE2).
• A DS-KAD706Y is installed on each floor, connecting :
  • The main entrance door station to each apartment’s indoor touchscreen.
  • The system back to a central management point or control room via Ethernet.
• A DS-KAD706Y-S master distributor connects each DS-KAD706Y, allowing an extended network over multiple floors.
• This creates a modular, scalable architecture, supporting door communication, video calls, unlock control, and remote management.

This setup allows:

• Clear video/audio communication between residents and visitors
• Centralised management via Hikvision’s Hik-Connect or iVMS-4200 platforms
• Scalability for large buildings or complex apartment layouts

Features:

• 2-wire IP master distributor
• 6-port 2-wire cascade interfaces without device power supply
• 2 cascade interfaces for DS-KAD704Y, DS-KAD706Y & DS-KAD706Y-S series
• 8 interface indicators, 1 RJ-45 Interface, 1 Reset button
• Din rail mounting, 24 VDC input power supply
