Description
Need a tough, good-looking way to see and talk to visitors at your front door or security gate? The Viking E-65-SS combines clear two-way handsfree audio with a built-in high-resolution color video camera — all packed into a sleek brushed stainless steel faceplate that stands up to vandalism and tough weather.
Whether you manage an apartment building, run a small business, or simply want better visibility at your front entrance, the E-65-SS lets you see and speak with visitors before releasing the door. It connects to standard analog phone lines, unused analog station ports programmed for ring down, or pairs with Viking entry controllers and dialers — keeping installation straightforward and affordable without requiring a full IP infrastructure upgrade.
The compact double-gang design fits standard electrical boxes right out of the box, and surface mount options are available separately with the VE-5x5 series for added flexibility.
Our Expert Take: The E-65-SS hits a practical sweet spot — you get real color video and durable stainless steel construction without the added cost and complexity of a SIP-based video door phone. It pairs cleanly with Viking's C-200, C-250, C-500, and C-2000B entry controllers, making it a natural fit if you're already running a Viking access control setup. One important note: while the brushed stainless steel finish handles everyday weather well, if your installation is directly exposed to driving rain or heavy condensation, step up to the E-65-SS-EWP model with Enhanced Weather Protection for added peace of mind.
