Description
Need a rugged, camera-equipped entry phone that can take a beating and still deliver clear video and audio day after day? The Viking K-1705-3 is a vandal-resistant video door phone built for demanding environments where durability, weather resistance, and reliable access control are non-negotiable.
This stainless steel 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 in temperatures ranging from -30°F to 150°F. A yellow "In Use" LED provides instant visual confirmation that a call is active, and volume controls for both the microphone and speaker let you fine-tune audio to suit any environment.
From hospital entrances and school campuses to apartment complexes and industrial facilities, the K-1705-3 is engineered to hold up against vandalism, harsh weather, and heavy daily use. 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. A zinc plated steel rough-in box with conduit knockouts is included, and an optional VE-6x7 surface mount box is available for flexible installation.
Our Expert Take: The K-1705-3 is a smart pick when you need video door access in a location prone to both vandalism and weather exposure. The combination of 14-gauge louvered stainless steel construction and a potted camera circuit board gives it a level of physical and environmental protection that most entry phones simply can't match. If your site has truly extreme outdoor exposure or requires NEMA-rated protection, look into the optional enhanced weather protection upgrade. The selectable auto-answer feature is also a standout for security teams who want passive monitoring capability without requiring a visitor to initiate a call.
