Description
Need a tough, compact entry phone that fits a standard single-gang box and shows you exactly who's at the door? The Viking E-50-SS delivers two-way handsfree audio and live color video in a vandal-resistant stainless steel package built to handle whatever comes at it.
Designed for homes, small businesses, delivery entrances, and gated properties, the E-50-SS transmits both audio and video over a single CAT5E cable, keeping installation clean and simple. It shares a single phone line with existing telephones when paired with a Viking C-200 or C-2000A Entry Phone Controller, or connects directly to an unused analog station port with a Viking K-1900-5 auto dialer. Expand your setup by controlling up to four E-50 units on one phone line with the C-2000A, and add unique front and back door chimes and paging with a Viking SLP-1.
From the sealed, potted camera circuit board to the IP67-rated push button and hex drive mounting screws, every detail is engineered to resist both weather and vandalism. With an operating range of -30°F to 150°F and telephone-line power, there are no batteries to replace and no separate power supply to run.
Our Expert Take: The E-50-SS is an ideal fit for small businesses or multi-door residential installs where space is tight — that single-gang form factor is a genuine advantage when retrofitting older construction. If you're managing more than one entry point, the C-2000A pairing is the smart path since it supports up to four E-50 units on a single line and adds door/gate control. For surface mounting without an in-wall box, pick up the optional Viking VE-3x5 surface mount box separately.
