Comelit EX-700H Hands-Free Monitor Add-On
Overview
The Comelit EX-700H is a hands-free monitor add-on and replacement unit designed for wall and rack mount deployment in multi-unit residential and commercial access control systems. This unit functions as an expansion display or standalone replacement within Comelit intercom ecosystems, enabling remote door communication and system monitoring from fixed installation points. The EX-700H (often searched as EX 700H) integrates into existing Comelit video intercom and access control networks without requiring separate control systems or standalone configuration.
Key Features
- 850nm Infrared Night Vision: The EX-700H delivers 850nm infrared illumination, allowing monitoring and communication in low-light or no-light conditions. This wavelength provides reliable night vision across supported system configurations — useful for lobbies, entry vestibules, and secured areas monitored during off-hours or in naturally dim environments.
- Wall Mount Configuration: Purpose-built for wall installation in lobbies, hallways, and common areas. Mounting flexibility accommodates standard wall-mounting hardware and integrates cleanly into architectural spaces where fixed monitoring stations are required.
- Rack Mount Option: The EX-700H supports rack-mount deployment, enabling centralized monitoring in control rooms, security stations, and multi-site coordination centers. This configuration is ideal when consolidating multiple intercom feeds into a single operator workspace.
- Hands-Free Operation: Designed for ambient monitoring without operator intervention, allowing users to view entry points and intercoms passively. The hands-free design reduces operator fatigue during extended monitoring periods and supports concurrent multi-unit observation without dedicated button presses.
- Comelit System Integration: The unit integrates directly with Comelit video intercom and access control systems, leveraging existing wiring and infrastructure. No standalone network configuration required — the EX-700H functions as a native display endpoint within the Comelit ecosystem.
- Multi-Unit Residential and Commercial Deployment: Suited for apartment buildings, office complexes, and mixed-use facilities where distributed monitoring stations enhance security oversight. The add-on model allows incremental expansion without system redesign.
Integration and Compatibility
The EX-700H integrates within Comelit video intercom and access control platforms. It supports both wall and rack mounting, making it suitable for lobby installations, control rooms, and distributed monitoring environments. When deployed as an expansion display, the unit leverages the host Comelit system's camera feed, storage, and control logic — no additional storage or processing overhead on individual monitors. The 850nm infrared capability enables reliable night vision operation across supported system configurations, with distance ratings consistent with Comelit's standard IR performance specifications.
When selecting an access control display, consider whether the EX-700H's hands-free, fixed-location design matches your deployment model. If you require portable monitoring, handheld devices, or mobile app-based viewing, explore portable intercom handsets or smartphone integration within the broader Comelit range. The EX-700H is purpose-built for stationary, always-on monitoring; it is not intended for mobile or temporary installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Comelit EX-700H compatible with non-Comelit intercom systems?
A: No. The EX-700H is designed exclusively for integration with Comelit video intercom and access control systems. It will not function as a standalone monitor or with third-party vendors' systems.
Q: Can the EX-700H be used as a replacement monitor for an existing Comelit installation?
A: Yes. The EX-700H functions as both an add-on expansion display and as a replacement unit for damaged or obsolete Comelit monitors, provided it is compatible with your installed Comelit system generation and configuration.
Q: Does the EX-700H support two-way audio communication?
A: The EX-700H is a hands-free monitor designed for ambient viewing and listening. Confirm with your Comelit system integrator whether two-way talk capability is available through your specific system configuration.
Q: What is the maximum distance of the 850nm infrared night vision?
A: The EX-700H supports 850nm infrared; specific maximum distance ratings depend on the camera and system configuration. Consult the Comelit datasheet or your integrator for exact IR range specifications for your deployment.
Q: Can the EX-700H be mounted outdoors?
A: The EX-700H is designed for indoor wall and rack mount deployment. For outdoor monitoring, consult your Comelit integrator regarding outdoor-rated monitor options or weatherproof enclosures.
Q: What power supply does the EX-700H require?
A: Power requirements depend on your Comelit system configuration. The EX-700H typically receives power from the main intercom system via integrated wiring. Confirm power specifications with the manufacturer datasheet or your system integrator.

The Comelit EX-700H is a purpose-built fixed monitor for integration into existing Comelit intercom ecosystems — not a generic display and not a standalone network camera. If you're expanding a multi-unit residential or commercial Comelit system and need additional monitoring stations, the EX-700H delivers 850nm infrared night vision and flexible wall/rack mounting. The hands-free design removes the friction of button-based operation, useful for lobby stations and control room consoles running 24/7.
Technical Highlights:
- 850nm Infrared Night Vision: Enables reliable monitoring in low-light entry vestibules and common areas during off-hours. Distance performance depends on paired camera specifications, but the wavelength choice ensures compatibility with standard Comelit camera IR output.
- Wall and Rack Mount Flexibility: Accommodates both distributed lobby installations (wall mount) and centralized control room deployment (rack mount). This dual orientation reduces installation constraints and supports various facility layouts without additional hardware adapters.
- Hands-Free Ambient Monitoring: Designed to display Comelit feeds continuously without requiring operator interaction. Reduces fatigue during extended monitoring periods and allows concurrent observation of multiple entry points without menu navigation or button presses.
Deployment Considerations:
- The EX-700H is a display endpoint only — it does not record, store, or process video independently. Recording and analytics remain on the host Comelit system. Confirm your Comelit system version supports this monitor model before purchase.
- Hands-free operation means the unit displays whatever the Comelit system sends; you cannot independently configure camera selection or view switching on the monitor itself. Control is delegated to the main system panel or app if available.
Deploy the EX-700H when you need to add a fixed monitoring station to an existing Comelit intercom network — especially in multi-unit residential buildings where lobby or main office stations benefit from continuous visibility into entry points. Skip this if you require standalone operation, portable monitoring, or integration with non-Comelit systems.
