Fanvil i51W IS EOL , REPLACED WITH I504W
The Fanvil i51W is a SIP indoor station designed for residential buildings, apartments, villas, offices, and access-control installations that require convenient communication with entrance door phones. It combines a 4.3-inch color display, four SIP lines, HD hands-free audio, built-in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, PoE, and five dedicated function keys for answering calls, monitoring entrances, unlocking doors, contacting a management center, and ending calls.
Designed to work with compatible SIP door phones, cameras, and security devices, the i51W can display video from authorized entrance devices while providing remote door-opening control from inside the building. Eight alarm inputs, an RS485 interface, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, flexible network configuration, and wall-mounted or optional desktop installation make it suitable for integrated residential and commercial intercom systems.
