ᐅ Door Intercom System / Door Station – PoE (Power over Ethernet)

Hello everyone,

so far, the topic of door intercom systems is the most confusing for me regarding electrical installations.

What I’m looking for is basically a simple, expandable system that runs over Ethernet using PoE, so I can just run a CAT 7 cable and a J-Y(St)Y 2x2x0.8 cable to all doors and gates I might want to open at some point for the door opener.

This doesn’t seem like a very fancy requirement. However, I’m having trouble understanding the different systems. So far, I’m most interested in Doorbird.

Do you have any tips?

Regards,
Harv

2N Verso IP.

I had also considered using 2N, but then something else became more important.

There would also be Goliath and, of course, various Chinese manufacturers if it needs to be affordable. (Not necessarily good and affordable).

I have a Hager Elcom IP system. I believe it can be expanded up to 5 door stations (all of course with cameras). It works the same way using CAT cable and a control line for the door opener. You don't even need the control line because it's possible to connect the door opener directly to the speaker module. However, for safety reasons, it's better to connect the front door directly to the control cable and operate the door opener internally (in the distribution board).

By the way, we went with a Doorbird system. Very stylish, good image quality, powered entirely via PoE, and super easy to set up, so far very satisfied!
