Videx Professional Video Intercom Door Entry Kit

Boasting full high-quality colour video with two-way speech, these intercom systems offer convenience and peace of mind when answering visitors at the front door, and allows you to remotely release the front door when an electric lock or strike release is fitted.  

Available with up to twelve buttons, each with illuminated name-plates to help the visitor choose the correct button (note on the 2-button version there is one smaller nameplate shared between both buttons), these professional video intercom systems by Videx allow you to engage with visitors at the front door or gate before deciding to allow or deny them access to the building via an unlock button on your handset.   What's more, you can have up to three handsets connected for each button, so if you have a large apartment or office that may require multiple handset locations throughout, then you can do this with the this professional range of audio intercoms.  This is particularly helpful as well for those with limited mobility who may struggle to get to a handset in time if only one is fitted in their residence. 

As you will see from the gallery of photos we have here, these video entry systems come in a stylish contemporary design, and put simply, they are built to last in British weather, utilising stainless steel fascia plates and a single-piece die-cast aluminium alloy housing.  This single piece cast body creates a much stronger build than that of others with multiple parts jointed together to create the housing.  The stainless steel front panel is then secured by pin type Torx bolts, after fitting the advanced clip-in module support frame. 

You will notice both flush-mount and surface mount versions are available, which both share the same module design, only with no black surface-mount surround on the flush panel versions.  These are are designed to be flush-fitted by recessing the back-box into the wall.  This is a less popular choice due to the ease of fitting with the surface-mounted options, however they do provide a very professional and clean finish when flush-fitted, if the location of fitting allows for it. 

To make the installation and wiring as easy as possible, Videx have designed the module support frame with a hinging system, so that both hands can be free when terminating your cables, and you're not trying to awkwardly work from the side of the unit which can add unnecessary complication to what should otherwise be a simple job.  So although it's a simple idea, it's a great one nonetheless that really considers the installer's needs and allows you to simply get on with the job. 

The professional wall-mounted colour handsets offer volume control, allowing you (or your tenants) the choice of ringing volume depending on preference and location - it may be that you wish to keep the volume quiet so to not disturb others, or you may need it louder to ensure the hard of hearing are able to hear the call more reliably.  In most cases though, the mid-level option is opted for as a good balance between the two.   Of course for the hard of hearing, as well as those with limited mobility - we do recommend considering multiple handsets (up to 3 are possible per call button) to help aid those who may need it. 

A suitable power supply is also supplied to power the system.  This power supply will also power most suitable strike releases, although we do generally recommend that for higher consumption strikes and other electric locks requiring more power, a separate power supply should be used to avoid overloading the system.  

Please note - the 1 & 2 button systems are supplied with a 24v AC power supply for the system, while the 3-12 button systems use a different board so are supplied with a 12v DC supply, and 20v DC for the videophones.   The power supplies are included so this is nothing to worry about, but is important to know this information to avoid mixing incorrect voltages.  

It is worth noting however, that these systems all offer both a dry contact relay output or capacitor discharge for a lock release.  

Please note that these kits are available only by special-order and may take a few extra days to be dispatched.
