Door Stations & Monitors

Door stations are the panels at the entrance and monitors are the screens and phones inside, sold here as separate parts for building a door entry system or extending one. The range takes in IP, 2-wire and bus door stations, modular camera and button modules, digital keypad panels, hands-free and touchscreen monitors, audio sub stations, master and guard stations for a front desk, and IP emergency stations for public areas.

Choosing Door Stations & Monitors

Match the door station and the monitor to the same maker and system first, then pick features for the entrance and for the rooms inside.

Door stations

A one-piece station suits a single entrance: the Dahua VTO6521K-S2 is a 2MP IP apartment door station with a 4.3" LCD, rated IP65, that unlocks by password, IC card, QR code or app. Modular stations are built up from parts: the Hikvision DS-KD8003-IME1(B) is a fisheye camera module that needs a mounting bracket and runs from 12 VDC or PoE, and Videx 4000 Series expansion modules such as the 4042/M add call buttons with backlit name plates.

Digital panels for larger sites

A digital panel replaces rows of buttons with a keypad. The Videx 4212V/SA combines an alphanumeric keypad, a day/night wide-angle camera and integrated proximity access control in 12 gauge 304 stainless steel. The Axis 02026-001 is a 6MP network door station with an RFID reader and keypad for access control systems.

Monitors and indoor stations

Screen sizes include 4.3" units such as the Comelit PAC 6742WK and 7" touchscreens such as the Dahua DHI-VTH5422HB, which also takes PoE. Wi-Fi monitors pass calls to a phone: the Fermax 9469 VEO-XL works with the DuoxMe app, and the Comelit PAC TP6842BM connects to Comelit Cloud over Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Handset monitors suit users who prefer to lift a receiver.

Master, guard and emergency stations

A master or guard station calls and answers other stations from a desk. The Aiphone IXG-MK is a 7" touchscreen IP video guard station with handset, hands-free or push-to-talk speech, and the Comelit PAC 6802B is a 7" touch master station with full-duplex hands-free audio. The Aiphone IX-SSA-RA is a stainless IP65 audio emergency station with Braille signage.
