Description
Need a rugged, camera-equipped entry phone that looks sharp, holds up against vandalism, and shrugs off the harshest weather? The Viking K-1705-3-BN-EWP is a vandal-resistant video door phone in an oil rubbed bronze finish, built with Enhanced Weather Protection for demanding environments where durability, curb appeal, and reliable access control are all required.
This bronze-finished entry phone transmits both audio and video over a single CAT5E cable, keeping installation clean and straightforward. The built-in high-resolution color camera features tilt/swivel adjustment and an impact and scratch resistant lens, giving you a clear, wide-angle view of visitors across temperatures ranging from -30°F to 150°F. A yellow "In Use" LED provides instant visual confirmation that a call is active, and adjustable microphone and speaker volume controls let you fine-tune audio to suit any environment.
From hospital entrances and school campuses to apartment complexes and upscale industrial facilities, the K-1705-3-BN-EWP is engineered to hold up against vandalism, severe weather, and heavy daily use. The Enhanced Weather Protection upgrade means this unit conforms to NEMA requirements, making it the right choice for truly exposed outdoor installations. The internally sealed keypad and push button switch, potted camera circuit board, sealed camera lens, faceplate gasket, and mylar speaker all work together to keep the elements out — and the oil rubbed bronze finish means it does it all while blending into architecturally finished entryways.
Our Expert Take: The K-1705-3-BN-EWP is the right call when you need the full protection package of the K-1705-3 but your entry point demands a more refined aesthetic. The oil rubbed bronze finish holds up to the same punishment as the standard stainless model while complementing upscale residential, hospitality, and commercial settings where a raw steel look won't fit. The Enhanced Weather Protection built into this version means you don't have to spec it as an optional add-on — it's already included, making this a cleaner choice for exposed coastal, high-humidity, or rain-heavy sites. The selectable auto-answer feature remains a standout for security teams who want passive monitoring capability without requiring a visitor to initiate a call.
