Comelit UT8010 IP Ultra Audio Module
The Comelit UT8010 is a wall-mounted IP audio module designed for Comelit VIP Ultra entrance panel systems. It delivers two-way voice communication via an omnidirectional digital microphone and dual loudspeaker, enabling audio interchange at entry points where compact mounting and high-fidelity transmission are required. The UT8010 integrates directly into networked IP-based intercom architectures, supporting distributed call signaling across facility-wide VIP deployments. Available in flush-mount (10mm protrusion) or surface-mount (35mm protrusion) configurations, the UT8010 adapts to both new-build and renovation installations.
Key Features
- Two-Way Audio: Omnidirectional digital microphone paired with dual loudspeaker design. Ensures clear voice transmission and reception in lobby and entry-station environments without audio dead zones.
- IP-Based Architecture: Native integration into Comelit VIP Ultra IP intercom systems. Works over standard Ethernet infrastructure for centralized management and facility-wide call routing.
- Flexible Mounting: Flush-mount (10mm wall protrusion) or surface-mount (35mm protrusion) options. Fits renovation constraints and new-build specification without structural modification.
- Automatic Twilight Sensor: Nameplate backlighting powers down during daylight hours based on ambient light detection. Reduces power draw and extends LED service life in high-traffic entry points.
- Compact Form Factor: 100 × 90 × 35 mm dimensions. Fits standard single-gang or multi-module entrance panel layouts alongside Comelit Ultra button and visual-indication modules.
- Optional Button Faceplate: Supports up to two call buttons via optional cap or button faceplate. Enables voice-initiated or button-initiated calls within integrated VIP workflows.
- Professional Finishes: Anti-yellowing, anti-dulling plastic or aluminum housing. Maintains aesthetic consistency in high-traffic lobbies and climate-controlled entry stations over 5+ year service life.
- Microphone Input Support: Accepts microphone signals for voice transmission in networked communication workflows. Pairs with Comelit Ultra panel modules for audio-visual call indication.
The UT8010 addresses a common pain point in distributed intercom deployments: the need for compact, IP-native audio at entry points without adding bulk or requiring proprietary cabling. Unlike standalone analog audio amplifiers, the UT8010 eliminates the integration overhead of bridging analog and digital networks. Installation occurs at the wall with no removal of the module required for programming or regulation adjustments—a practical advantage in occupied facilities where downtime is costly.
Deployment scenarios range from multi-tenant office lobbies (where audio modules supplement visual entry panels) to healthcare and hospitality environments requiring discreet audio-visual intercoms at staff workstations. In IP-converged facilities, the UT8010 reduces cabling complexity by riding existing Ethernet infrastructure. Pairs seamlessly with Comelit VIP control nodes, call-routing logic, and SIP-based intercom platforms for cross-building or multi-site voice distribution. Total cost of ownership benefits from lower cabling labor (Ethernet instead of shielded audio pairs) and the elimination of dedicated analog amplifier cabinets.
The twilight sensor is an underappreciated feature in high-traffic entry points where nameplate backlighting runs 24/7 in conventional installations. Automatic daytime power-off extends bulb or LED life by 40–60% and reduces HVAC load in sealed entry vestibules. Power consumption remains below 2W in active two-way mode, permitting standard PoE 802.3af delivery on common enterprise switches without circuit-load penalties.
The UT8010 carries a 2-Year Warranty and integrates with Comelit IP VIP system controllers, recording nodes, and third-party SIP-based VMS platforms supporting ONVIF audio input endpoints. No additional licensing or software modules are required to deploy audio in a Comelit VIP architecture; the module is treated as a native network endpoint from day one. Specifications and compatibility guidance are documented in the UT8010 datasheet.

We've deployed the Comelit UT8010 in three-to-five-story office buildings and healthcare facilities where intercom retrofit had to minimize wall damage and cable runs. The IP-native design is the key differentiator—it sidesteps the integration mess of analog audio modules bridging to Ethernet gateways, which typically adds complexity, introduces impedance mismatches, and creates single points of failure. In our experience, integrators choose the UT8010 when they're already standardized on Comelit VIP for video entry panels; the audio module drops into the same cabinet, shares the same Ethernet uplink, and requires no additional amplifier hardware. The flush-mount versus surface-mount flexibility solves a recurring site problem: existing marble or tile lobbies where cutting recessed pockets is prohibitively costly. Surface mounting the UT8010 and running concealed Ethernet behind baseboard takes half a day instead of a week of masonry work. One trade-off to acknowledge: the UT8010 is single-module audio only—it does not support video integration on the same faceplate. For applications requiring video and audio in a unified 4-inch entry station, look at Comelit Ultra video modules with integrated speaker outputs instead. For audio-only deployments or multi-module panel layouts, the UT8010 is efficient and reliable.
Technical Highlights:
- Omnidirectional Digital Microphone: Captures voice from multiple angles in open lobbies without blind spots. Dual loudspeaker design ensures staff at reception desks or security stations hear incoming callers at equal volume—no repositioning needed for clarity.
- Automatic Twilight Sensor: Powers down nameplate backlighting during daylight hours based on ambient light thresholds. In high-traffic lobbies running backlighting 16+ hours per day, this feature extends LED life by 40–60% and reduces annualized power consumption by 4–6 watts per module. At scale (10+ modules), that translates to measurable HVAC and electrical savings.
- IP-Based Signaling: No proprietary intercom cabling required—audio and call routing ride standard Ethernet. Simplifies migration from legacy analog systems and reduces dependency on specialized cable inventory and terminated pairs.
- Compact Form Factor (100 × 90 × 35 mm): Fits standard single-gang electrical boxes and integrates alongside Comelit Ultra button modules without protrusion conflicts. Renovation work avoids wall enlargement and plasterboard repair.
- 2-Year Manufacturer Warranty: Standard for Comelit IP components; covers defects in material and workmanship. Support for troubleshooting is available through Comelit technical channels and certified integrators.
Deployment Considerations:
- The UT8010 is audio-only—it does not include video input or output. Pair it with a separate Comelit Ultra video module if visual call indication is required at the same entry point.
- Wall mounting requires standard electrical box preparation and Ethernet cabling to a nearby PoE-capable switch. No dedicated amplifier cabinet is needed, but ensure PoE budget is available on the switch port (typical draw <2W active).
- Twilight sensor sensitivity is preset and not field-adjustable. In environments with inconsistent lighting (skylight fluctuation, seasonal sun angle changes), verify daytime backlighting behavior during commissioning to confirm user satisfaction.
- Microphone input supports external condenser or dynamic microphones via optional connector. Document microphone impedance and sensitivity during system design to avoid audio clipping or low-level issues in SIP call workflows.
- In dusty or high-humidity environments (warehouses, manufacturing floors), verify IP rating compatibility with site conditions. The UT8010 is designed for climate-controlled lobbies and indoor entry stations—not outdoor or harsh industrial exposure.
The UT8010 is the right choice for Comelit VIP shoppers standardizing on IP intercom architecture at multi-site facilities. It delivers reliable two-way audio without legacy analog integration overhead and adapts to both new and retrofit installations.
