Description
Imagine someone in an elevator, parking garage, or pool area needs help right now. The Viking E-1600-RD-IP makes sure they get it—fast. This bright red, low-profile VoIP emergency phone gives crystal-clear hands-free calling over your SIP network with just the push of a button.
It’s fully ADA compliant, automatically lights up to show the call connected, and can announce the exact location to responders. Powered by PoE, it works in tough conditions from -40°F to 140°F, and its automatic noise canceling keeps voices clear even in noisy spots.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
Unlike older analog emergency phones that need extra wiring and can sound muffled, this model plugs right into your existing SIP VoIP system using Power over Ethernet—no extra power outlet required. The built-in 2-amp relay lets you trigger a strobe light or unlock a door automatically during a call, which is a game-changer for security teams.
Setup is straightforward with Viking’s free programming software or from any touch-tone phone. You can program up to five emergency numbers that cycle through if one is busy. The non-volatile memory means your settings stay safe even if power dips.
Our customers in universities, medical centers, and apartment buildings tell us the red finish stands out so people can find it quickly, and the Grade 2 Braille label helps everyone use it confidently. If you’re upgrading from analog or installing new, this phone gives you modern VoIP features without the headache. Highly recommended for any location where safety is priority number one.
