Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-PWA96-M-WB is the control hub at the heart of the Hikvision AX PRO wireless alarm platform — a 433MHz wireless intrusion panel built to scale from a small home right up to a large commercial site. A single hub supports up to 96 wireless zones and outputs (including 48 video-verification PIRCAM detectors), 48 keyfobs, 4 repeaters, 6 sounders and 8 tag readers or keypads, so most sites never outgrow it.
Where the AX PRO platform stands apart from a traditional alarm panel is connectivity and monitoring: the hub talks over TCP/IP, Wi-Fi and 3G/4G at once, communicates with its wireless devices using Hikvision's encrypted Tri-X/Cam-X protocol, and pushes live status, video-verified alarms and control straight to an app rather than requiring a separate monitoring receiver. This listing is for the DS-PWA96-M-WB hub itself — detectors, keypads, keyfobs and sounders are sold separately to let you configure the system around the site. Supplied directly through Total Security Equipment.
Key Capabilities
Large Wireless Capacity
Up to 96 wireless zones/outputs including 48 PIRCAM video-verification detectors, plus 48 keyfobs, 4 repeaters, 6 sounders and 8 tag readers or keypads.
Triple-Path Connectivity
TCP/IP, Wi-Fi and 3G/4G (dual SIM) connectivity keep the hub reporting even if one path goes down.
Encrypted Two-Way Wireless
Hikvision's Tri-X/Cam-X wireless protocol with AES-128 encryption for supervised, tamper-resistant device links.
Built-In Battery Backup
A built-in 4520mAh lithium battery keeps the hub running for up to 12 hours if mains power is lost.
Best For
96-zone capacity covers large residential properties with room to add detectors as needed.
Enough capacity and repeater support for offices, warehouses and multi-building sites.
Sites that want live status, alarm video clips and remote control from a phone rather than a wall keypad alone.
Why Choose This Hub
The DS-PWA96-M-WB gives you a genuinely scalable base to build on — with 96 wireless zones and support for video-verification PIRCAM detectors, it's sized for sites that would outgrow a smaller wireless panel, while its dual SIM 3G/4G plus Wi-Fi plus TCP/IP connectivity means the system keeps reporting even if one network path fails. Because it's a proper hub-and-device platform rather than a fixed kit, you can spec the detectors, keypads and sounders to match the site instead of paying for a bundle you don't need. Available from Total Security Equipment.

Choosing the Right AX PRO Hub
Choose the DS-PWA96-M-WB if:
You want a fully wireless hub with the largest AX PRO zone capacity (96 zones) and plan to select detectors, keypads and sounders separately to suit the job.
Ask our team about alternatives if:
You need onboard wired zone inputs (Hikvision's "M2H" hybrid hub range adds these) or you want a pre-bundled kit with a hub, keypad, sounder and detectors included. TSE currently lists the hub only — ask us what else we can source for your job.
