About the VI-V400-RS
The VI-V400-RS is a HiLook by Hikvision rain shield for the VI-V400W video door station.
It keeps rain off the camera lens, microphone and call button, so the picture stays clear in wet weather, and reduces dirt building up around the panel. It's made from UV and impact resistant polycarbonate.
It's worth fitting on exposed gate posts and walls with no overhang, and on coastal or high sites.
When to specify one
- Exposed gate posts and pillars with no shelter above the panel
- Flat walls with no overhang, particularly on the weather facing elevation
- Coastal and high ground sites where wind driven rain is the norm rather than the exception
- Any install where the customer expects a long, low maintenance life from the panel
If the door station is going somewhere genuinely sheltered, you can skip it without concern. The VI-V400W is rated for outdoor use on its own.

Installation note
The shield measures 48.63 mm deep against the VI-V400W's own 27 mm, so it adds a little over 20 mm of projection off the wall once fitted. Worth bearing in mind on a narrow gate post or a tight reveal, and worth deciding on before you mark out, since the shield's 149.78 mm x 79.57 mm footprint is larger than the panel it covers.
