1080P HD Video with 130° Wide Angle
The heart of any video intercom is its camera. The 12-apartment panel features a 1080P 2MP HD camera with a 130° wide-angle lens, capturing a broad view of the entrance area.
Why this matters:
- Clear identification: See visitors’ faces, clothing, and any packages they may be carrying.
- No blind spots: The wide-angle lens covers more of the entrance, reducing the chance of missing someone standing to the side.
- Day and night visibility: Infrared night vision ensures clear images even in complete darkness.
Whether it’s a bright summer day or a dark winter evening, residents can see who is at the door before deciding to unlock.
IR Night Vision for 24/7 Security
Security doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. The panel’s infrared (IR) night vision automatically activates in low-light conditions, providing clear black-and-white video.
Benefits:
- 24/7 monitoring: Residents can see visitors at any hour.
- Automatic switching: No manual adjustment needed.
- Reliable performance: IR LEDs are designed for long life and consistent output.
IP65 Waterproof & Wide Temperature Range
Outdoor devices face harsh conditions. The 12-apartment panel is built to withstand them all.
- IP65 rating: Dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. Rain, snow, and dust won’t damage it.
- Wide operating temperature: -40°C to +70°C. From freezing winters to scorching summers, this panel keeps working.
- Aluminum alloy housing: Corrosion-resistant, impact-resistant, and UV-stable. It looks good and lasts for years.
Install it at your building entrance with confidence—no matter the climate.
PoE Power Supply for Simple Installation
The panel supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) , meaning a single CAT5/6 cable carries both power and data. This simplifies installation, reduces cable clutter, and eliminates the need for a separate power supply near the door.
Advantages of PoE:
- One cable for power and data: Cleaner installation, fewer points of failure.
- Easy integration: Works with standard PoE switches.
- Remote power cycling: Restart the device from the network switch if needed.
For new builds and retrofits alike, PoE makes installation faster and more cost-effective.
Multiple Access Methods: NFC & IC Card Unlock
Residents want convenience. The 12-apartment panel supports NFC and IC card unlock, allowing residents to enter with a simple tap.
How it works:
- IC card: A traditional RFID card or fob. Tap to unlock.
- Mobile NFC: Use a smartphone as a digital key. Tap to unlock.
Why this matters:
- Speed: Access is granted in milliseconds.
- Convenience: No keys to fumble with.
- Security: Lost cards can be instantly revoked.
- Flexibility: Issue cards to family members, caregivers, or temporary visitors.
The panel also supports indoor monitor unlock and can be integrated with a mobile app for remote access (depending on the system configuration).
1 Relay for Various Electric Locks
The panel includes 1 relay output compatible with a wide range of electric locks:
- Electric control locks
- Magnetic locks
- Electric strikes
- Motor locks
How it works:
- The relay is a dry contact (NO/COM). It does not supply power to the lock.
- A separate power supply (typically 12V DC) is required for the lock.
- When an unlock command is received (via card, indoor monitor, or app), the relay closes the circuit, releasing the lock.
This flexibility means the panel can be integrated with most existing lock hardware, simplifying retrofits.
Aluminum Alloy Construction with Wall/Embedded Installation
The panel is built from aluminum alloy, a material chosen for its durability, corrosion resistance, and premium appearance.
Installation options:
- Wall-mounted: Surface-mounted on the wall—quick and easy for retrofits.
- Embedded: Flush-mounted into the wall for a sleek, integrated look. Ideal for new construction and high-end renovations.
The compact design fits neatly at any entrance, and the aluminum finish complements modern architecture.
Ideal for Residential Building Access Control
The 12-apartment panel is designed specifically for residential buildings with up to 12 units. It is perfect for:
- Apartment buildings – One button or card reader per apartment.
- Small residential complexes – Simple, cost-effective access control.
- Gated communities – Entry management for a limited number of units.
