Hello everyone,
I am currently considering which video door entry system to buy for our single-family house on a hillside.
I find the video feature very useful since our living and dining area is located in the basement, so you don’t have to go upstairs every time the doorbell rings.
There are many versions on the market, and unfortunately, they vary significantly in price.
Do you have any recommendations on which ones to buy?
What do you think about this one?

oh, I had seen several pictures and it looked pretty good.
The 2N IP Verso is quite expensive at nearly €1000 (about $1100) in my opinion. Yes, I have the 2-module set with keypad (for about €1100 (around $1200)), because I already have a fingerprint reader (which is supposed to be available for this system later this year). Alternatively, there is NFC or RFID, and also versions without an indoor unit.
But this system can do a lot: app control for iOS and Android, and integration with SIP devices like the FritzBox. I have already set that up, and it works perfectly with our old MT-F terminals, including an image from the camera (not a real video stream, but it updates every few seconds).
You can also create multiple user profiles and assign door codes that can be enabled or disabled either manually or on a schedule. And much more.
Before, I had also considered Gira, but I want a larger video image on a panel later, be able to integrate the phone, and connect my home automation. With Gira, including a wall panel that only controls the system, you’re looking at around €3500 (about $3800)....
I can recommend the Samsung SHT-7017XM.
7" TFT LCD color screen with touchscreen.
Expandable with up to 4 indoor stations, 1 outdoor station, and 1 surveillance camera.
Mute mode.
Alarm function if the outdoor station is dismantled.
However, it does not take snapshots when the doorbell rings.
3x SHT-7017XM
1x SHT-CP611
1x flush-mounted box for outdoor station
1x DIN rail power supply
=1,200
I find the GOLIATH AV-2DI-01, also 7", even better, but unfortunately learned about it too late.
- MicroSDHC memory card slot
- Recording of visitor messages
- Image, audio, and video recording (also when away)
- Mobile app available for iOS and Android
- Support for up to 8 IP cameras
However, it is also more expensive.

Instead of the surface-mounted SHT-CN610E, I chose the flush-mounted SHT-CP611 outdoor station.
This is a flush-mounted outdoor station, and the camera is hardly visible from the outside, which I personally like.
However, this is also a disadvantage when it comes to the detection range.
For example, Gira has a large lens in front of the camera, which I didn’t find appealing—big camera outside and a tiny monitor inside.
The SHT-CP611 outdoor station has only a 75° detection range. I simply cut my external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) panels in the entrance area diagonally on the right and left sides so that the cut surface is perpendicular to the area in front of the door, and the outdoor station is mounted on the front edge of the insulation.
This ensures good alignment of the camera, and with the angled cuts, the entrance area looks nicer.
The disadvantages of the system:
The manual is only available in (I believe) Korean and English. However, it contains many images and is easy to understand.
The SHT-CP611 outdoor station emits a quiet humming sound. This is only noticeable in the evening when it is quiet outside, but it does not disturb communication. I don’t know how other outdoor stations behave in this regard.

I also had one of these here and sent it back without even connecting it. I find the quality of the housing awful. We will soon be installing a 2N IP Verso.Do you know if the VDV610 takes a snapshot when the doorbell rings? I can’t find any information about that..
