Viking VCAM-2-SS Stainless Steel Single Gang Color Camera Kit

Viking Electronics VCAM-2-SS Brushed Stainless Steel Single Gang Color Camera Kit

Overview

The VCAM-2-SS is a compact color video camera kit in a brushed stainless steel finish, designed to flush mount in a standard single gang electrical box or surface mount using the optional VE-3x5 surface mount box. This kit solves a specific problem: integrating a discreet, vandal-deterrent camera into entry vestibules, corridors, and intercom stations where aesthetics matter and the mounting surface is already a single gang rough-in. The 1/4" color CMOS sensor delivers 640x480 at 30 fps — appropriate for identity verification at close range in door-entry and access control applications. The 18-gauge 304 stainless steel faceplate and stainless steel camera mounting plate hold up to repeated contact and provide scratch resistance in high-traffic installations. For integrators specifying Viking Electronics door entry and intercom products, the VCAM-2-SS pairs naturally with Viking's panel and intercom ecosystem.

Compatibility

The VCAM-2-SS is compatible with Viking Electronics video entry systems and panels that accept composite analog video input over coaxial cable. The 80-degree viewing angle and 12V DC power input are matched to Viking's door station and intercom product families. It is available as a companion to the PNL-VCAM-2-SS panel kit for installations requiring a coordinated faceplate assembly. The VCAM-2-BN is the oil-rubbed bronze finish variant for installations where stainless steel doesn't match the hardware spec. Wire runs up to 750 feet are supported using RG59 or RG6 coaxial cable — covering most building perimeter and multi-floor entry scenarios without signal amplification. This is an analog composite camera; it is not an IP camera and does not integrate with IP camera systems or ONVIF-based VMS platforms directly.

Installation Notes

Mounts flush in a standard single gang electrical box (no additional adapter required) or surface mounts with the optional VE-3x5 box. Power is 12V DC via adapter — not PoE; a local power supply or conduit-run DC power is required at each camera location. Operating temperature range of -40°F to 185°F makes this suitable for unheated vestibules, cold-storage entries, and outdoor-adjacent spaces, but verify enclosure protection for fully exposed exterior installs. Overall dimensions are 4.875" x 3.125" x 1.0" — confirm rough-in depth before cutting. Use RG59 or RG6 for video runs; exceeding 750 feet will degrade image quality. Consult the access control category for compatible door controllers and entry panels to complete the installation.
