Description
Secure building entry points with vandal-resistant two-way SIP intercom and InformaCast emergency integration using the Valcom VIP-172AL-VRSS-IC, a stainless steel flush-mount IP doorplate with door and gate relay control and VOX talkback.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The VIP-172AL-VRSS-IC is the InformaCast-certified variant of Valcom's vandal-resistant doorplate intercom — the right choice for Cisco InformaCast environments where entry points need to participate in the same emergency notification infrastructure that covers the rest of the building. The stainless steel faceplate physically resists tampering, impact, and unauthorized removal attempts that would defeat a standard plastic housing, making it appropriate for exterior vestibules, secure facility entries, and high-traffic institutional locations. A press of the call button reaches any SIP address — a phone, a Valcom gateway, or a softphone — and VOX talkback handles the conversation hands-free. Door or gate relay control adds physical access management without a separate controller. One RJ45 connection to the network provides PoE power and carries all audio and control data.
