Comelit UMVTF 4MP PoE+ Flush Video Kit
Overview
The Comelit UMVTF is a flush-mounted video kit engineered for integrated video entry and access control installations. With 4MP resolution and PoE+ power delivery, the UMVTF provides clear facial and visitor identification in standard indoor deployment environments while simplifying power infrastructure through standard Ethernet cabling. This form factor fits seamlessly into wall-mounted entry stations and intercom systems common in apartment, office, and light industrial access control architectures.
Key Features
- 4MP Resolution (2560 x 1440): Delivers sufficient detail for visitor facial identification and entry logging without overloading network bandwidth or storage on modest-sized systems. At 4MP, you'll see enough to identify a person at entry points, but won't waste storage if you're running dozens of these kits on a single NVR — a real consideration for multi-tenant buildings.
- PoE+ (802.3at) Power Delivery: Draws power directly from your network cable — no separate 12V supplies, no dual cabling runs, no clutter behind walls. PoE+ injectors or managed switches rated for PoE+ are standard infrastructure in modern security deployments, so integration is straightforward and cost-effective.
- Flush-Mount Form Factor: Designed to recess into wall cavities or existing entry station housings, creating a clean, integrated appearance that doesn't protrude. Critical for aesthetic-sensitive environments like modern office lobbies or residential entry vestibules where a protruding camera bracket is not acceptable.
- Comelit System Integration: The UMVTF is purpose-built within the Comelit IP camera and entry control ecosystem, ensuring video door entry, access control, and emergency communication functions operate from a unified platform. This eliminates proprietary connector adapters and simplifies provisioning for installers.
- Standard Network Infrastructure: Compatible with enterprise-grade PoE+ switches and injectors commonly deployed in managed network switching environments. No exotic power modules; your existing infrastructure works.
- Compact Wiring Footprint: Single Ethernet run handles both video transport and power, reducing installation labor and wall penetrations compared to separate video + power cabling.
Integration & Compatibility
The UMVTF integrates with Comelit video door entry and access control systems. PoE+ power support ensures compatibility with standard enterprise network infrastructure, managed PoE+ switches, and PoE+ injectors commonly deployed in security installations. If you're already running a Comelit intercom or access control backbone, the UMVTF video kit plugs into that same network and control fabric without additional gateways or proprietary adapters.
For storage and management, pair the UMVTF with a network video recorder that supports ONVIF-compliant IP camera streams. Video and event data from the UMVTF can be logged alongside access control events, creating a unified audit trail — essential for facilities requiring integrated entry documentation.
Deployment Context
The UMVTF is well-suited to entry vestibules, main lobbies, apartment building intercoms, and office building access points where integrated video capture and door control are required. The flush mount reduces vandalism risk compared to protruding domes, and 4MP is sufficient for visitor identification and legal hold-up footage in lower-risk settings. In high-security environments requiring extended IR range, facial recognition analytics, or outdoor weathering, evaluate whether a dedicated higher-resolution IP camera mounted alongside a separate door entry control unit might be a better fit — this kit prioritizes integration and aesthetics over maximum surveillance capability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the UMVTF support PoE (standard 802.3af)?
A: No. The UMVTF requires PoE+ (802.3at), which delivers higher power. Standard 802.3af will not power it. Verify your PoE injector or switch is rated for PoE+ before deployment.
Q: Can I use the UMVTF outdoors?
A: No. The UMVTF is designed for standard indoor installation environments. For outdoor entry points exposed to rain and direct sunlight, consult higher-rated weatherproof variants from the Comelit catalog.
Q: What is the frame rate and video codec supported by the UMVTF?
A: Codec and frame rate details are not specified in the available documentation. Contact the Comelit product team or your integrator for detailed video codec and frame rate specifications before finalizing storage calculations.
Q: Is the UMVTF compatible with Milestone XProtect or other third-party VMS platforms?
A: The UMVTF is designed to integrate with Comelit video door entry and access control systems. ONVIF compatibility is not confirmed in the available documentation. For third-party VMS integration, verify codec and API compatibility with your VMS vendor before purchase.
Q: What storage capacity do I need for the UMVTF?
A: Storage requirements depend on frame rate, resolution, compression codec, and retention period. With 4MP and standard compression, a multi-camera NVR system can accommodate multiple UMVTF kits on modest storage budgets, but exact capacity planning requires codec details from the product documentation.
Q: Does the UMVTF include mounting hardware?
A: Specific mounting hardware and installation materials are not detailed in the available source documentation. Contact the distributor or Comelit for a complete bill of materials and installation template before ordering.

The UMVTF is a focused integration play — it's not a standalone surveillance camera, but a flush-mount video capture module designed for seamless integration into Comelit's intercom and access control ecosystem. The 4MP sensor provides sufficient detail for visitor identification at entry points, and PoE+ power delivery eliminates the dual-cable headache common on retrofit installations. If your baseline requirement is a simple video log of who accessed the building (or apartment), the UMVTF delivers that without unnecessary complexity.
Technical Highlights:
- 4MP Resolution: Sufficient for facial identification at entry station distance, but does not exceed bandwidth or storage budgets for systems managing dozens of access points. Clear enough for legal visitor documentation.
- PoE+ (802.3at): Single Ethernet cable handles power and video — eliminates separate 12V supply runs and reduces installation labor on new builds and retrofits. Verify your switch or injector is PoE+ rated; standard PoE will not work.
- Flush-Mount Form Factor: Integrates into wall cavities and existing entry station housings. Critical for aesthetics in residential and modern office deployments where a protruding camera dome is a liability.
Deployment Considerations:
- Comelit-Centric Integration: The UMVTF is engineered for Comelit's video door entry and access control platforms. Third-party VMS compatibility (Milestone, Genetec, etc.) is not confirmed — verify before proceeding if you're running a mixed-vendor architecture.
- Indoor Only: No IP67 rating, no IR illumination, no weatherproofing. Do not deploy this to outdoor vestibules, covered porches, or any point exposed to rain or direct sun. For those locations, evaluate dedicated outdoor IP cameras with separate door control wiring.
- Codec and Frame Rate Unknown: The source documentation does not specify H.264 vs. H.265, frame rate at 4MP, or storage efficiency per 24-hour cycle. You must confirm these details with Comelit before finalizing NVR storage estimates or bandwidth calculations on bandwidth-constrained links.
The UMVTF is the right choice for apartment buildings, office lobbies, and light-commercial access points where integrated video entry and Comelit control are the primary goal, aesthetics matter, and PoE+ is already available on your network. Skip this if you need outdoor hardening, advanced analytics (facial recognition, object detection), or multi-vendor VMS flexibility.
