Frequent Problems and Questions when choosing a Hikvision IP intercom:

The main problem when installing an ip-video intercom is the correct cabling around the house. Often, electricians wire the cable according to the old analog circuit, namely directly between the call and the monitor, which is not true. To connect the ip intercom system You need a twisted pair (UTP) network cable. Both devices are connected to your local network, for example, through a switch (preferably a POE switch). This issue is covered in more detail in the Support section. But you can connect the monitor and the call panel directly with a cable, however, in this case, to connect such a system to the Internet, you need to use the Hikvision video intercom ip monitor with the letter W in the modification, which means a built-in Wi-Fi module.
