Door Entry Kits

A door entry kit puts the entrance panel and the indoor phones or monitors for a set number of flats or offices in one box. This range covers audio and video kits for houses and small blocks in surface and flush versions, kits with coded access keypads or proximity readers, kits whose Wi-Fi monitor links to a phone, and 4G and DECT wireless kits for entrances that cable cannot reach.

Choosing Door Entry Kits

Start with the number of ways, meaning the call buttons on the panel: a three-flat entrance needs a three-way kit.

What a kit contains

The Videx 4K-3S/CL is a three-way surface audio kit whose panel carries a speaker unit, three call buttons and a 4901 coded-access keypad module, supplied with 3011 audiophones and a Videx power supply. Video kits add a camera panel and screens: one Comelit PAC ViP kit holds a Quadra entry unit, a power supply, a network switch and a hands-free Wi-Fi monitor, and it arrives pre-programmed.

Audio or video, and which cable

Audio kits use handsets and multi-core cable; the 3+1 wiring of the Videx 4K-3S/CL needs at least four cores to every telephone. Video kits vary: the Bell System BS5 installs with standard CAT5 cable, the Aiphone GT-2M3/VFS is wired in 2 wires of solid non-twisted copper, and Fermax DUOX PLUS kits such as the DMVP-04/V are 2-wire.

Wi-Fi, 4G and wireless kits

BPT kits built around the XTS 7" Wi-Fi monitor, such as the MTMFVRIP7B1, open the front door from a smartphone. The Fermax 1431//A WAY-FI kit has a 7" IPS capacitive monitor and can take 2 more monitors without an extra power supply. Where no cable can reach the gate, the CAME VRMSA4G1 is a 4G LTE audio kit, and the Aiphone WL-11 links its door and master stations by DECT wireless.

Panels and finishes

Many kits are listed in surface and flush versions, so check the wall before choosing. The Aiphone GT-2M3/VFS panel is 2.5mm BS316 marine-grade stainless steel, the Bell System BS5 panel is 3mm anodised aluminium with a camera that has a built-in infrared lamp, and BPT VRW panels such as the VRWFPAGV2D are IK09 rated vandal-resistant stainless steel.

Frequently asked questions

How does wireless video door entry work?

Wireless video door entry sends the call and picture between the door panel and the indoor monitor by radio instead of cable. Some kits use DECT wireless between the stations, while others connect over 4G or a Wi-Fi monitor that can pass calls to a smartphone. Wireless kits still need power at the panel, and an electric lock release usually needs its own cable.

What is a multi-way video door entry system?

A multi-way video door entry system has one entrance panel serving several properties, with its own call button and indoor monitor per property. The number of ways is the number of call buttons, so a block of four flats needs a four-way kit. Some kits can take extra monitors per flat later, so check that before choosing.

What is an audio door entry kit?

An audio door entry kit lets you speak to a visitor at the entrance panel through a handset or hands-free unit indoors, without a camera. You then release the door with a button on the handset. Audio kits suit houses and small blocks where seeing the caller is not essential, and some add a coded keypad for keyless entry. The range here includes surface and flush audio kits.

What is a door entry kit?

A door entry kit is a boxed set of matched parts for one entrance: the door panel, indoor handsets or monitors and usually a power supply. Buying a kit saves picking parts that may not work together. Options include audio or video, wired or wireless, and surface or flush panels, sized by the number of properties it serves.
