Description
When seconds count, you need an emergency phone that just works — no buttons to hunt for, no dead batteries, and crystal-clear sound even in noisy spots. The Viking E-1600-IP is a tough, bright-red VoIP emergency phone built for real-world safety in elevators, parking ramps, campuses, pools, and public buildings.
It connects directly to your SIP VoIP system using Power over Ethernet (PoE), so there’s no extra power outlet needed. Push the big red button and it automatically dials up to five emergency numbers while playing a pre-recorded message that tells responders exactly where the call is coming from. The “Call Connected” LED lights up to give peace of mind, and it meets strict ADA requirements so everyone can use it easily.
Our Expert Take: If you run a facility with public access areas, this phone helps you meet safety codes without headaches. Setup is straightforward with Viking’s free programming software, but our team is here if you want us to handle the SIP registration or custom location messages for you. It’s a true “set it and forget it” solution that keeps working year after year.
If you need weather protection, step up to the EWP version. For a more discreet look, the stainless models work well in lobbies.
