Description
Need a compact, weatherproof door phone with live color video that blends into your building's décor without sacrificing durability? The Viking E-50-BN-EWP delivers high-resolution color video and clear two-way audio over a single CAT5E cable, all housed in a striking oil rubbed bronze faceplate built to handle extreme conditions.
Designed to meet IP66 ingress protection standards, the E-50-BN-EWP is loaded with weather-resistant details — a Mylar speaker, faceplate gasket, internally sealed push button, potted camera circuit board, and sealed camera lens work together to keep moisture and debris out. Vandal resistance is equally serious, with an 18-gauge 304 stainless steel faceplate, 316 stainless steel push button, carbon fiber reinforced plastic speaker screen, and hex drive mounting screws that discourage tampering. The operating temperature range of -30°F to 150°F means it performs reliably whether it's mounted at a ski lodge entrance or a sun-baked industrial facility gate.
Its single-gang footprint makes installation straightforward — flush mount into a standard single gang electrical box or surface mount with the optional Viking VE-3x5 enclosure. Audio and video both run over one CAT5E cable, keeping the wiring simple and clean. Programmable call progress detection, selectable auto answer for monitoring, and adjustable VOX switching speed give you precise control over how the unit behaves once it's up and running.
Our Expert Take: The E-50-BN-EWP is an excellent fit for upscale residential entrances, boutique hotels, or corporate lobbies where aesthetics matter as much as function. The oil rubbed bronze finish pairs naturally with high-end door hardware, and the compact single-gang size keeps the installation looking clean and intentional. If you're working on a multi-unit project with mixed finishes, Viking also offers this same platform in brushed stainless steel, polished brass, satin white, and satin black — so you can match every entrance without compromising on performance. For replacement or upgrade projects, the PNL-50 faceplate is available separately in all five finishes.
