video entry system, video door entry, video station, aiphone The KC 1 x 3 Color Video Sentry series is a video entry system with capacity for one video door station and up to three inside monitor/handset stations. It allows access control of 1 entrance from up to 3 different stations (rooms), which includes a camera unit (KC-DAR), master monitor (KC-1GRD), sub monitor (KC-1GRD) and audio-only sub station (KC-1SD).

The video room stations are equipped with a 4" flat color monitor, connected to a video door station located at an entry area. The video door station contains a CCD chip camera with illumination LEDs for low light applications, giving you extremely clear and bright images are shown on the inside video screen. The camera angle is adjustable up and down from the inside monitor, allowing the viewer inside to adjust the camera’s angle to their needs. An incoming call from the door station sounds a 4 stroke chime. The monitor(s) come on displaying the image of the caller. The person at the inside station picks up to answer, and the visitor speaks hands free. The entry area can be monitored by pressing the "monitor" button on any room station. This allows both audio and video monitoring, staying on for approximately 30 seconds. And with the optional door strike and relay, you can also unlock the front door from the inside master station. To place an all call between all the inside stations, just simply pick up the handset on the monitor, press the All Call button and make the announcement. There is also an optional stainless steel housing for the door station as well as a Picture Memory Unit available for the system.

The KC series features some of the best characteristics in the market with an easy to install system, and installation requires only 2 wires (+ 2 for power supply) and no coaxial cable.
