Hikvision Announces AX PRO Firmware V1.3.1 with Expanded Device Support

Hikvision has announced the release of the new AX PRO firmware version V1.3.1, delivering a range of technical and functional enhancements aimed at more efficient security system management, greater installation flexibility, and an improved user experience. The update is designed for professional users of AX PRO wireless alarm systems and will be available via the Hik-Connect and Hik-Partner Pro platforms.

The new firmware version introduces support for additional peripheral devices, further expanding system compatibility. At the same time, system protocols have been upgraded, including the implementation of OTAP (Over-The-Air Programming) and the Intercom Service protocol. Special attention has also been given to optimizing ARC configuration, contributing to more stable and reliable communication with alarm receiving centers.

One of the key updates relates to the control panel, which now supports Double Zone Wiring, providing greater flexibility in system design. In addition, the AX PRO system can now be integrated with a wider range of IP cameras, including HeatPro thermal cameras and AcuSense models, further strengthening the synergy between alarm systems and video surveillance. The limitation on the number of sirens within the system has been removed, allowing for easier adaptation in more complex installations.

At the application and user interface level, firmware V1.3.1 introduces a new installation wizard that simplifies the initial system setup process. Users now have access to customizable shortcuts and widgets on the home screen, while the overall interface has been further streamlined to enable faster and more intuitive system operation.

Among the functional improvements, highlights include a new detector deactivation option, as well as support for muting sirens during the “stay arm” mode, enhancing user comfort without compromising security.
