Description
Add door and gate relay control plus auxiliary device triggering to any Valcom VIP-176 series door intercom with the VM-SRLY, a smart relay module that connects to the VIP-176 and handles physical access outputs that the base intercom unit does not provide on its own.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The VM-SRLY is an add-on accessory that gives VIP-176 series intercoms the ability to control physical access hardware — door strikes, magnetic locks, gate operators, and auxiliary signaling devices — that require a relay contact output. The VIP-176 handles IP intercom communication, but the relay contact for door/gate release requires the VM-SRLY to provide the electrical interface between the network device and the physical door hardware. The "smart" designation refers to its programmable relay logic, which allows the integrator to define which triggers (call button, remote command, timeout) activate the relay and under what conditions. This makes it the correct component for entry control deployments where the intercom needs to both communicate with staff and physically unlock the door at the end of the conversation.
