Description
Tired of high-traffic entry points spreading germs through shared buttons? The Viking E-20TF-IP changes that with simple wave-activated calling. Just wave your hand in front of the built-in motion sensor (adjustable from 1 to 4 inches) and it instantly connects you hands-free to your SIP VoIP system.
Perfect for gates, parking ramps, medical centers, lobbies, ATMs, stadiums, and convention centers, this rugged VoIP entry phone delivers clear two-way communication while helping your facility stay cleaner and safer. It runs on PoE (no extra power supply needed), includes a 2 Amp relay for door strikes or gate openers, and can dial up to five programmable numbers with automatic backup if the first line is busy.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The motion sensor works reliably in real-world conditions – we’ve tested it in busy lobbies and outdoor gate installations. Automatic Noise Canceling (ANC) keeps conversations clear even near traffic or crowds.
Setup is straightforward for anyone familiar with SIP devices. The included programming software makes it easy to configure numbers, relay timing, and sensor sensitivity remotely. One of our favorite details: the diagnostic tools let you test the mic, speaker, and relay right from your desk.
Who this is for: Facility managers, security teams, and property owners who need a durable, low-maintenance entry solution for public or semi-public areas. If your current button-based phones create cleaning headaches or get vandalized, the touch-free design and marine-grade options (or EWP weatherproof version) are game changers.
Expert Take: In a post-pandemic world, touch-free is no longer a “nice to have” – it’s expected. The E-20TF-IP delivers that plus solid VoIP performance and door control in one tough package.
