Description
Need a door phone that weathers the elements without sacrificing style or giving up clear video of every visitor? The Viking E-65-PB-EWP delivers high-resolution color video and handsfree two-way audio in a distinguished polished brass finish built to handle demanding outdoor environments.
This unit mounts flush in a standard double gang electrical box, keeping installation clean and straightforward. Enhanced Weather Protection means the internals are sealed with foam rubber gaskets, gel-filled butt connectors, and urethane or thermoplastic-potted circuit boards — built to handle rain, condensation, and harsh outdoor conditions day after day. Volume controls for both speaker and microphone let you tune audio on-site, while selectable auto-answer enables passive remote monitoring without a visitor needing to press anything. Intelligent call progress detection automatically ends calls when the conversation is done, so lines stay free and the system keeps running efficiently.
Whether you're managing entry at an upscale apartment building, corporate campus, medical facility, or secure outdoor gate, the E-65-PB-EWP pairs reliable visitor verification and access control with a polished brass aesthetic that complements premium architectural finishes.
Our Expert Take: The polished brass finish makes the E-65-PB-EWP the right call when appearance matters as much as performance — think luxury residential buildings, hotel entrances, or historic properties where stainless steel would feel out of place. You still get the same EWP sealing and field-adjustable DIP switches and trim pots as the stainless steel E-65-SS-EWP, so installers don't give up any flexibility. For surface mounting, pair it with Viking's VE-5x5 Series Surface Mount Box. If you need a replacement faceplate down the road, the PNL65-PB is the compatible option to order.
