Description
Need a tough, no-nonsense phone that connects instantly when someone picks up the handset? The Viking K-1900-712L-IP delivers exactly that. This vandal-resistant VoIP panel phone auto-dials a programmed number (and up to three backups) every time the handset lifts. It works great with any standard SIP VoIP system and runs on simple PoE power.
Built from heavy 316 marine-grade stainless steel, it laughs off abuse while giving you handy extras like a built-in relay to open gates or trigger cameras. The short 12-inch armored cable with internal steel lanyard adds extra strength and helps prevent tampering or self-harm in high-traffic spots. Whether you’re securing an apartment entrance, gate, kiosk, ATM, or emergency area, this phone keeps communication fast and dependable – even in tough weather and temperature swings from -40°F to 140°F.
Expert Take
If your install needs maximum vandal resistance in a compact flush-mount package and you prefer a shorter cable for safety, this model beats longer-cable versions. For fully exposed outdoor spots with rain or snow, consider stepping up to the EWP version. Overall, it’s a rock-solid, low-maintenance solution that just works.
