A complete guide to installing, connecting, and using FARHD’s IP villa video intercom system – featuring a 7-inch indoor monitor with gray stripes and an outdoor call panel with card unlock.
When it comes to villa security, reliability and simplicity matter. The FARHD IP Villa Video Door Phone Kit delivers both – combining a 7-inch indoor monitor with a sleek gray stripe design, Tuya WiFi connectivity, and an outdoor call panel with card unlock functionality. Whether you’re building a new home or upgrading an existing intercom system, this kit offers a smart, secure, and surprisingly simple solution.
Let’s walk through everything you need to know – from understanding the system’s core features to step-by-step connection instructions.
Why 2-Wire and IP Technology?
Most video intercom systems require 4 or more wires – or a full CAT5/6 network cable – to transmit power, video, audio, and signals. Traditional intercom systems often require complex multi-core cabling, making installation expensive and disruptive – especially in existing homes.
The FARHD IP Villa Kit changes that entirely. Using just two standard wires (non-polarity, so there’s no worry about connecting them backwards), the system transmits power, video, audio, and control signals simultaneously. This means:
- Reuse existing wiring – often works with old doorbell or telephone wires already in your walls
- No polarity concerns – connect either way, no risk of reverse polarity damage
- Fast installation – any electrician (or confident DIYer) can set it up quickly
- Lower cost – less labour, less material, less disruption
- Transmission up to 100 metres – plenty of distance for most villa layouts
The system also supports IP connectivity via CAT5/6 network cable, giving you the flexibility to choose between simple 2-wire installation or full IP networking – or even a hybrid approach.
What’s Inside the Kit?
The IP Villa Kit includes everything you need for a complete video intercom system:
7-inch Indoor Monitor (Gray Stripes)
- 7-inch IPS touchscreen with 1024×600 resolution
- Sleek gray stripe design – modern and stylish
- Tuya WiFi connectivity for remote access
- Full-duplex two-way audio with echo cancellation
- Micro SD card slot for photo and video recording
- Multi-language support
Outdoor Call Panel
- 1080P HD camera with wide viewing angle (110°–115°) and infrared night vision
- IP65 weatherproof – built for outdoor installation
- IC/ID/NFC card reader for keyless entry
- Call button to ring the indoor monitor and smartphone app
- Durable, weather-resistant housing
Connection Guide – Step by Step
The system uses a simple connection method – either 2-wire or IP network. Here’s how to set it up:
Step 1: Plan Your Installation
- Choose a location for the outdoor call panel near your entrance (eye level, about 1.4 to 1.6 metres high)
- Choose a location for the indoor monitor inside your home – somewhere convenient where you’ll hear the ringtone
- Plan the cable route between them (up to 100 metres / 300 feet)
Step 2: Choose Your Connection Method
Option A: 2-Wire Connection (Simple, Retrofit-Friendly)
- Use the provided 2-core wires (or your own ≥0.5mm two-core cable)
- Connect one end to the outdoor panel’s 2-wire terminals
- Connect the other end to the indoor monitor’s 2-wire input terminals
- No polarity – you can connect either wire to either terminal
Option B: IP Network Connection (Advanced, Smart Features)
- Use standard CAT5/6 network cable
- Connect the outdoor panel to your network switch or router via PoE
- Connect the indoor monitor to the same network (via Ethernet or WiFi)
- Both devices will communicate over your local network
Step 3: Power the System
- Connect the power adapter to the indoor monitor
- The indoor monitor supplies power to the outdoor panel through the same connection – no separate power supply needed at the door
Step 4: Physical Mounting
- Mount the outdoor panel securely near your entrance using the included bracket
- Mount the indoor monitor on the wall using the included bracket
Step 5: Test the System
- Press the call button on the outdoor panel
- The indoor monitor should ring instantly and display the video feed
- Test two-way audio and the unlock function
Core Functions – What This System Can Do
Answer Calls and Talk
When a visitor presses the outdoor call button, the indoor monitor rings instantly and displays the live video feed. With full-duplex two-way audio, you can speak naturally with visitors – just like a phone call.
Multiple Unlock Methods
The system offers four convenient unlocking methods:
| Unlock Method | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| IC/ID Card | Tap a registered card on the outdoor panel | Daily use – fast and convenient for all family members |
| Mobile NFC | Use your smartphone as a digital key | Tech-savvy residents who always carry their phone |
| Password | Enter a preset code on the outdoor keypad | Temporary guests, delivery staff, or backup access |
| Indoor Monitor Button | Press the unlock icon on the screen | Answering calls and unlocking from inside |
| Tuya App Remote | Unlock from anywhere using the smartphone app | When you’re not at home |
Monitor and Record
The system automatically captures photos and video clips when the doorbell is pressed or motion is detected. All recordings are stored locally on a Micro SD card – no cloud subscription required, no privacy concerns.
Room-to-Room Calling
If you have multiple indoor monitors installed, you can use them for internal communication between rooms.
Clear Video Day and Night
The 1080P HD camera with wide viewing angle and infrared night vision ensures you see every visitor clearly, even in complete darkness. The IP65 weatherproof design means the outdoor station stands up to rain, snow, dust, and temperature extremes.
Tuya App Setup – Remote Access Made Easy
Pair the system with the Tuya or Smart Life app (optional but highly recommended) and you unlock a world of remote convenience:
- Download the “Tuya Smart” or “Smart Life” app from Google Play or the App Store
- Create an account or log in if you already have one
- Ensure your indoor monitor is connected to your 2.4GHz WiFi network
- Open the app and tap “Add Device” – the app will automatically search for and pair with your monitor
Once connected, you can:
- Remote answer – Receive video calls from your door station on your smartphone, wherever you are
- Live view – Check the camera feed anytime, day or night
- Remote unlock – Let in deliveries, guests, or service providers with a single tap
- Motion alerts – Get instant notifications when someone approaches your door

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use my existing doorbell wires?
A: Yes – if they are two-core (or you have two separate wires) and not too thin (≥0.5mm), they will likely work.
Q: What if I connect the wires backwards?
A: The system uses non-polarity connection – it doesn’t matter which wire goes where.
Q: How far can the wires run?
A: Up to 100 metres with 0.5mm wire. For longer distances, use thicker wire.
Q: Do I need internet for basic calling and unlocking?
A: No – basic calling and unlocking work without internet. Remote access via the Tuya app requires WiFi.
Q: How many cards can I register?
A: The system supports multiple IC/ID cards – enough for all family members and regular visitors.
