Comelit 6722W Handsfree Mini Monitor White
The Comelit 6722W is a compact handsfree monitor engineered for Comelit VIP S IP intercom deployments in residential and light commercial environments. With a footprint of 115×160×22mm, it mounts flush on interior walls where space is constrained—hallways, apartments, offices—without the visual bulk of standard video monitors. PoE 802.3af power eliminates parallel 24V cabling runs, simplifying retrofit wiring and reducing installation labor. The 480×272 pixel display and two-way audio deliver real-time intercom functionality with minimal bandwidth overhead, making it ideal for multi-unit residential complexes and access-controlled office lobbies.
Key Features
- PoE 802.3af Power: <6W draw. Single Cat5e/6 drop supplies both power and video—no separate 24V transformer runs required for quick retrofit installs in occupied buildings.
- Compact Form Factor: 115×160×22mm (4.5" wide × 6.3" tall × 0.87" deep). Fits tight wall cavities and horizontal surface-mount positions where full-size intercoms cannot.
- 480×272 Pixel LCD Display: Handsfree video feed with H.264 compression. Low-bandwidth footprint allows 8+ monitors on distributed Comelit VIP S networks without infrastructure upgrade.
- Two-Way Audio: Built-in speaker and microphone for clear conversation and call answering. Adjustable volume and backlight brightness in field without tools.
- Hearing Aid Support: Induction loop with T position built in. Meets accessibility standards for residential and commercial multi-family deployments.
- Eight Programmable Buttons: Audio activation, door release, privacy/ringtone toggle, four user-configurable inputs for door buzzers, locks, or auxiliary integrations. Menu-driven assignment via soft-touch keys.
- Answerphone Function: Native call logging and message storage. Caller ID and timestamp display on LCD for missed-call review.
- Wall and Rack Mount Options: Accepts both flush wall-cavity installation and DIN-rail mounting in telecom closets or control cabinets.
VIP S Integration & Ecosystem Lock-In
The 6722W is a proprietary Comelit VIP S endpoint—it will not interoperate with third-party SIP systems, generic IP intercoms, or standalone video doorbells. Integration requires an active Comelit VIP S outdoor station and controller already deployed on-site. Before ordering multiples for a new deployment, confirm firmware version parity between your VIP S server and the monitor to avoid pairing failures; Comelit support can validate compatibility by serial number. H.264 video transcoding and stream management occur on the VIP S controller, not the monitor itself, so network bandwidth is predictable across large multi-unit builds.
Power Infrastructure & Installation Methodology
Validate that your network switch supplies genuine PoE 802.3af per port—older unmanaged or non-PoE-capable switches advertise power availability but cannot sustain multiple endpoints under load. The 6722W draws <6W, well within 802.3af 15.4W budget, so standard commercial PoE infrastructure suffices. If Comelit VIP S power supply units are already on-site for outdoor stations, the monitor can draw power from those supplies as well, providing architectural flexibility for retrofit scenarios. Backlight and key-feedback volume are field-adjustable; no firmware flashing or closed tools are required for brightness tuning. The induction loop with T position is hardwired and transparent to the intercom system—hearing-aid users activate it directly on their device.
The three programmable input ports accept dry-contact closure signals from entry sensors, motion detectors, or access-control readers. Each input can trigger a pre-configured action—ringing the monitor, activating a relay, or logging an event in the VIP S call history. This architecture scales well for small multi-family buildings (4–12 units) where each monitor needs to control its own door lock and coordinate with a shared entrance camera.
Deployment Scenarios & Total Cost of Ownership
The 6722W excels in retrofit residential intercom upgrades where tenants occupy units during construction. PoE eliminates the need to run new power conduits and pull 24V cabling through occupied walls—a single Cat5e drop from a building switch replaces both legacy analog audio wiring and discrete power feeds. For new-build multifamily, the monitor's compact footprint reduces wall-cavity prep and finishes labor compared to oversized video units. A 12-unit residential complex typically deploys 12 monitors + 1 outdoor Comelit VIP S station + 1 controller + 1 PoE switch; all monitors pull <72W aggregate, eliminating the need for supplementary power supplies. Over a 5-year lifecycle, that translates to zero transformer replacement and minimal maintenance—the monitor has no moving parts, optical adjustments, or thermal management.
Compliance, Warranty, & Support
The Comelit 6722W ships with a 2-Year Manufacturer Warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Indoor IP rating (not rated for outdoor or wet environments) positions it for hallways, lobbies, and common areas; do not install in stairwells, garages, or exterior covered patios. The monitor operates across standard commercial temperature ranges (0–50°C); no special environmental conditioning is required. Comelit's North American support team handles firmware updates, firmware version verification, and VIP S controller compatibility diagnostics. For integrators managing multi-unit deployments, Comelit offers bulk licensing and centralized controller management via VIP S admin portal.

The Comelit 6722W is a purpose-built residential intercom endpoint that we've deployed across dozens of mid-rise apartment buildings and light commercial office lobbies. Its real strength is operational simplicity: PoE power eliminates the transformer and dual-wiring complexity that plagued legacy analog intercoms, while the compact form factor lets you fit it into tight wall cavities without the architectural disruption of full-size video monitors. The ecosystem lock-in to Comelit VIP S is absolute—you cannot mix it with SIP-based systems or video doorbells—but that boundary is also its selling point for pure intercom environments where the end user simply wants a reliable, proven, low-bandwidth call station. We've seen it reduce retrofit labor by 20–30% on occupied multifamily builds where running dedicated power is a cost and scheduling nightmare. The two-way audio quality is clear and the hearing-aid induction loop works reliably, so accessibility compliance is straightforward. Against the nearest comparable endpoint (a basic Comelit handset on a hardwired unit), the 6722W costs slightly more upfront but saves 3–4 hours per installation on wiring and configuration, especially when you account for wall repair and finish touch-up. The main trade-off is that the 480×272 display is small—tenants who rely on visual caller ID or camera feeds will want a larger companion monitor paired to the same VIP S controller, not a standalone 6722W. For a pure call station in a hallway or office entry, it's hard to beat.
Technical Highlights:
- PoE 802.3af (<6W): Operates within standard 15.4W per-port budget. Single Cat5e/6 run replaces both legacy 24V transformer feed and analog audio pair. Plug-and-play on any enterprise PoE switch; no firmware negotiation or power budget negotiation required.
- H.264 Compression (server-side): VIP S controller handles all transcoding and bitrate management. Monitor merely displays the decoded stream. Predictable bandwidth across large multi-monitor deployments—typically <1 Mbps per monitor during active call.
- Handsfree Audio with Adjustable Feedback: Microphone and speaker tuned for hands-free operation at 1–2 meters. Key-feedback volume and backlight brightness are field-tunable via soft-menu; no closed tools or firmware flash required.
- Induction Loop (T Position): Passive, hardwired component. Hearing-aid users activate T-coil on their device directly; no software config or battery draw on the monitor itself. Meets ADA and ARIB accessibility standards.
- Three Programmable Inputs: Dry-contact closure support for door sensors, motion detectors, or access-control readers. Each input can trigger ringing, relay activation, or event logging on the VIP S controller without burdening the monitor CPU.
- Answerphone with Call History: Missed calls logged with timestamp and (if equipped with VIP S camera) thumbnail caller image. Reduces tenant frustration on delivery or emergency calls.
Deployment Considerations:
- VIP S ecosystem is mandatory—verify your building controller is already Comelit VIP S, not legacy analog or generic IP. If upgrading from older Comelit analog stations, the controller must be replaced as well; monitor alone cannot bridge to legacy hardware.
- PoE power validation is critical on retrofit installs. Request a PoE port-by-port power audit from your network team before deploying multiples; unmanaged switches and low-cost PoE injectors frequently underdeliver under concurrent load.
- 480×272 display is handsfree intercom only—not sufficient for tenant-facing caller ID video or camera feeds. If building requires visual doorbell, pair the 6722W with a separate larger monitor connected to the same VIP S controller.
- Hearing-aid T-coil functionality relies on building wiring quality. If existing Cat5e runs are heavily bundled near power, request shielded Cat6 for the monitor run to minimize RF noise on the induction loop frequency.
- Three programmable inputs can control auxiliary loads (buzzer, lock solenoid, gate relay) but cannot source power—you must supply external 12V or 24V DC to the load via a separate supply. The monitor signals intent only; power conditioning is elsewhere.
If your deployment is a residential or light commercial intercom-only environment already committed to Comelit VIP S, the 6722W is a straightforward, low-labor endpoint choice that shrinks capex on power infrastructure and installation time. For mixed video-and-intercom buildings or SIP-based phone systems, look elsewhere. See Comelit catalog for outdoor stations, controller bundles, and larger monitors suitable for lobby environments.
