A new 2MP video intercom from IDIS – the vandal-resistant and waterproof DC-I6212WRX – is the first NEMA 4X, IK10 and IP66 rated product of its kind offered by any video surveillance vendor, the company has revealed.

According to IDIS, the DC-I6212WRX gives systems integrators and their customers a host of performance benefits, including advanced user functions and unmatched durability in harsh environmental conditions.

Housed in a toughened casing with a choice of flush and surface mount options, the DC-I6212WRX can withstand extreme temperatures from -22F degrees to 133F degrees and humidity up to 90%.

A robust video intercom

With intelligent trigger events including active tampering, motion detection and trip zones, the intercom features a robust built-in speaker to protect against criminals’ intent on degrading security.

Easy to integrate with the company’s choice of video management systems (VMS), including the cost and license-free IDIS Center, as well as third-party systems, including access control systems and electromagnetic door locks, the DC-I6212WRX adds a practical and affordable access device to IDIS’ range of NDAA compliant products, IDIS reports.

Access control and visitor management are further boosted with two-way VoIP (SIP) audio, enhanced by echo canceling and noise reduction.

In addition, superior image quality and simultaneous two-way audio and video recording, thanks to forensic voice and video evidence, ensure complete audit trails and effective investigations.

The DC-I6212WRX provides a clear foreground focus of who is calling and sharp image capture of the scene behind and around them, even in challenging lighting conditions.

It features superior 2MP (1920×1080) image capture with a 180-degree fisheye view, true 120dB wide dynamic range (WDR) and an IR LED nighttime range of 16 feet.

Its push button placement also ensures easy use for adults of average height, children and wheelchair users.

Increased security

“Standard video intercom devices are vulnerable to today’s increasingly harsh environmental conditions, including heavy rain, sub-zero temperatures, heatwaves, wildfires and extreme events causing high pollution and dust levels,” said Andrew Myung, President, IDIS America.

“IDIS’ first-of-a-kind video intercom tackles these problems head-on, reassuring users of a long and reliable service life, regardless of extreme weather.”
