Video house station

A video house station is a sophisticated communication device designed for residential and commercial building entry systems. These units integrate a high-resolution camera, microphone, speaker, and a control interface, typically a touchscreen or keypad, allowing users to see, hear, and speak with visitors at the entrance. Key technical specifications include camera resolution (e.g., 720p, 1080p), viewing angle (e.g., 90°-120°), night vision capability (IR LEDs), and audio codec support (e.g., G.711, G.729). The station connects to a doorbell or intercom system via wired (e.g., 2-wire, 4-wire, PoE) or wireless (e.g., Wi-Fi, Zigbee) protocols. Power supply requirements vary from 12V DC to 24V AC/DC, with some models supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af). The device often includes a relay output for electric door strike control and supports multiple call forwarding options to smartphones or tablets. In different regions, these are known as video door phones, video intercom stations, or video entry panels.

Video house stations are primarily installed in residential apartments, single-family homes, office buildings, and gated communities. They are mounted on walls near entrances, either flush or surface-mounted, with an IP rating of IP54 or higher for outdoor use. The system integrates with access control solutions, such as RFID readers or keypads, and can be part of a larger building automation network. In commercial settings, they serve as security checkpoints for visitor management, often linked to a central control panel or a cloud-based platform for remote monitoring. The stations are also used in multi-tenant buildings to manage deliveries and service access, with features like video recording and time-stamped logs for audit trails.

Subcategories within this category include flush-mounted video house stations, surface-mounted video house stations, and weatherproof video house stations. Key article codes often follow a pattern like VHS-XXXX-XX, where the first digits indicate the series (e.g., VHS-2000 for basic models, VHS-5000 for premium with touchscreen), and the suffix denotes color (e.g., -WH for white, -BK for black) or connectivity type (e.g., -POE for Power over Ethernet). Common models include the VHS-2100-WH, VHS-5200-BK, and VHS-3000-POE. These codes are standardized across manufacturers like 2N, Comelit, and Siedle, ensuring compatibility with existing systems.
