Description
When you need a tough, weather-sealed video entry phone that can take a beating and keep working, the Viking K-1705-3-EWP delivers vandal-resistant construction, built-in color video, and enhanced weather protection in one rugged stainless steel package.
This 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 a wide viewing angle with tilt and swivel adjustment, an impact and scratch resistant lens, and a potted circuit board sealed against moisture — all rated to perform from -30°F to 150°F. Whether you're protecting a hospital entrance, apartment complex, school, or industrial facility, the K-1705-3-EWP is built to handle exposure, abuse, and the elements without missing a beat.
Advanced call progress detection handles the tough scenarios automatically — disconnecting on busy signals, detecting return to dial tone, CPC reorder tone, and configurable silence or maximum call timeouts. A selectable auto-answer feature even allows for passive monitoring when needed, and push button disconnect can be enabled or disabled based on your application.
Our Expert Take: What sets the K-1705-3-EWP apart from standard entry phones is the layered approach to both vandal resistance and weather protection working together. The internally sealed IP67-rated keypad and push button, combined with the potted camera board, faceplate gasket, and mylar speaker, mean this unit is genuinely designed for the worst-case outdoor environment — not just rain-tolerant. If your installation is in a high-traffic public area prone to tampering or direct weather exposure, this is the unit to specify. For flush mounting, the included zinc plated steel rough-in box gets you started, and the optional VE-6x7 surface mount box works if flush mounting isn't an option.
