AX PRO Wireless Alarm System Firmware Update Hub
Welcome to the AX PRO Firmware Update Hub. We believe wireless alarm systems should be fast to deploy and effortless to use. This section serves as a running log of our latest milestones, designed to streamline installation workflows and elevate end-user convenience.
To help you master these updates, we break down every release using a clear “What is new, How it works, and Why it matters” structure. This approach ensures you understand the practical value behind every new feature—not just the technical specifications. Bookmark this page to keep your deployments cutting-edge.
Note: Always upgrade to the latest firmware to access all new features. For installers, we recommend installation and maintenance via Hik-Partner Pro.
Modern alarm system demands a seamless blend of speed and intelligence. AX PRO Firmware V1.3.1 delivers exactly that by bridging the gap between professional efficiency and daily ease of use.
This major update focuses on three core pillars:
Whether you are an installer aiming for faster setup or an end-user seeking a more intuitive security experience, this guide explores how V1.3.1 upgrades your real-world operations.
Firmware Version: V1.3.1_build250821
Release Date: August 29, 2025
Supported AX PRO Control Panel Models:
2.1 Editable Device Numbers via Web and Portal
What is new: AX PRO now supports manual modification of sub-device numbers through the local web interface and portal.
How it works: Simply enter the device adjustment interface and drag sub-device labels or use the “Move to” function to assign a specific number.
Why it matters: Critical for projects with many zones (e.g., offices, villas, small campuses) and devices. It ensures consistent numbering for documentation and allows for device replacement without disrupting existing system logic.
2.2 “Link All Areas” as a Configurable Default
What is new: All sub-devices (except card readers) now include a “Link All Areas” configuration option.
How is works: When enabled, the sub-device is automatically associated with all current and future compatible areas. This is enabled by default for wireless keypads, keyfobs, single transmitters, and multi-transmitters, and disabled for other sub-devices.
Why it matters: Significantly reduces repetitive configuration time and prevents errors where devices are installed correctly but fail to operate due to missing area associations.
2.3 Cleaner Default Naming for Devices and Zones
What is new: Numeric suffixes are removed from device names, and zones are standardized as “Detector.”
Why it matters: Improves readability and professional presentation for both installers and end-users, especially in systems with many devices and zones.
3.1 Sounder Silence during Stay Arm Mode
What is new: A “Silent During Arming” configuration for indoor, outdoor, and intercom sounders.
How it works:
Why is matters: Reduces noise panic for residents sleeping at home or for commercial sites requiring silent alerts during partial daytime arming.
What is new: AX PRO now supports Tap to Run scenarios for relay devices.
How it works: Through the Smart Scene interface on Hik-Connect and Web:
Why it matters: Elevates relays from basic outputs to automation tools. Users can control lighting, doors, or ventilation in a single tap, removing the need for repetitive manual actions.
5.1 Network Camera Multi-Defense Zone Support
What is new: Network cameras can now be added as zones on the AX PRO panel.
How it works: Through the ISAPI protocol, zones can be linked to:
5.2 Event and Rule Capability Handling
5.3 Network Camera Events Supported by AX PRO
The AX PRO control panel supports the following network camera events:
Why it matters: Transforms video analytics into precise alarm inputs, drastically reducing false alarms compared to standard motion detection.
6.1 Composite Smoke Detector Support
What is new: AX PRO now supports composite smoke sensors:
6.2 Flexible Sounder Quantity and Type
What is new: Restrictions on indoor and outdoor sounder types have been removed.
Why it matters: Offers greater flexibility in system design and simplifies stock management for installers.
7.1 App-Based Walkie-Talkie with Full-Duplex Sounders
What is new: When full-duplex devices (DS-PS403I-WE / DS-PS403I-WB) are connected, an intercom icon appears in Hik-Connect. A stable network connection between the panel and devices is required.
Why it matters: Enables immediate two-way communication with the site directly from the app.
7.2 Incident-Level Intercom Triggered by Alarm Events
What is new:
In the Intercom Service configuration:
When an alarm event is pushed to Hik-Connect:
The intercom window:
Why it matters: Shortens the critical window between “Alarm Trigger” and “Verification,” which is essential for unattended sites.
8.1 ATP Delayed Reporting Support
When the ARC protocol is set to:
AX PRO now supports ATP delayed reporting parameters.
Why it matters: Reduces unnecessary reporting caused by brief network fluctuations while preserving visibility for persistent issues.
8.2 Periodic Detection (Heartbeat) for FSK / RDC / IDS
What is new: A new periodic detection configuration allows heartbeat events to be sent at defined intervals.
Why it matters: Ensures early detection of device disconnections abnormalities, or weak signals in long-term deployments.
