Description
Not sure who's at the door before you open it? The Viking E-65-BN puts a clear color video feed and crisp two-way audio right at your fingertips, so you can see and speak with visitors without ever leaving your desk or couch.
Built into a compact bronze housing that flush-mounts in any standard double-gang electrical box, this entry phone is tough enough for daily use in homes, small offices, warehouses, and gated properties. The weather and vandal resistant bronze finish holds up to regular handling and the elements, while selectable auto-answer mode lets you monitor the entry point remotely without lifting a finger. Intelligent call progress detection handles automatic hang-up, keeping operation clean and hands-off.
The E-65-BN works seamlessly with Viking's proven analog controllers—the C-200, C-250, C-500, and C-2000B—and can also connect directly to any analog station port or phone line using the Viking K-1900-5 or K-1900-30 dialers. If you already have an analog-based access control setup, this phone drops right in without overhauling your infrastructure.
Our Expert Take: The E-65-BN hits a sweet spot for budget-conscious installations where analog infrastructure is already in place and IP connectivity isn't needed. The composite video output pairs cleanly with Viking's controller lineup, making it a natural fit for small apartment buildings, gated driveways, or back-office entrances. If your installation is fully exposed to rain or severe weather, step up to the E-65-BN-EWP for enhanced weather protection. And if you're building out a new IP-based system, Viking's SIP entry phones will be a better long-term fit.
