Comelit UT9240M Metal Information Module
The Comelit UT9240M is a metal-housed information module purpose-built for integration into Comelit unified video intercom and access control systems. Operating on PoE+ (802.3at) power delivery, it provides 4MP resolution imaging in a compact form factor designed for both indoor and outdoor installation scenarios. Metal construction delivers durability and corrosion resistance — a practical choice for facilities that demand long-term reliability without frequent replacement cycles.
Key Features
- 4MP Resolution (2688 x 1520): Delivers clear facial detail and scene context at typical intercom distances (1–3 meters), sufficient to verify visitor identity without requiring extreme close-focus. Not a wide-area surveillance device — this is optimized for access point documentation.
- PoE+ (802.3at) Power: Draws power directly from your network infrastructure with no separate power supply required. 802.3at delivers up to 30W, plenty for this module's needs. Simplifies cabling to a single Ethernet drop per location.
- Metal Housing: Resists weathering and minor impact better than plastic alternatives. Suitable for covered outdoor entries, loading docks, and high-traffic interior points where cosmetic damage is a concern. Not rated for full submersion or direct UV exposure without additional shielding.
- Network Integration: Integrates with Comelit's unified communication platform via standard Ethernet. Supports network-based configuration and control — no proprietary cabling or analog modulators. Simplifies system troubleshooting and firmware updates across multiple units.
- Indoor/Outdoor Deployment: Flexible placement at entry points, building perimeters, and interior checkpoints. Verify environmental rating (IP and temperature specs) in the full datasheet before mounting in high-humidity or extreme-temperature zones.
- Comelit System Compatibility: Designed as a component within the broader Comelit intercom and access control ecosystem. Verify your existing Comelit control platform version supports the UT9240M before procurement — cross-compatibility is good but not universal across all Comelit product generations.
Integration & Compatibility
The UT9240M integrates into Comelit's network-based video intercom architecture. It requires a compatible PoE+ network switch (802.3at capable) or PoE+ injector. Standard Ethernet cabling (Cat5e or Cat6) runs from your switch to the module — no special cable types or adapters needed. Configuration is handled through Comelit's unified management interface, the same toolset you likely use for other Comelit devices on site.
This is not a standalone device — it is a system component. Confirm your Comelit control unit, software version, and network topology support the UT9240M before design. If you are migrating from an older analog intercom system to a networked Comelit platform, budget time for network readiness (PoE+ power availability, Ethernet backbone) and system integration testing.
When to Choose a Different Model
If you require higher resolution (8MP or greater) for detailed facial biometrics or license-plate capture at distance, explore higher-megapixel variants within the Comelit line. If you need specialized analytics (intrusion detection, crowd counting, heat mapping), verify the UT9240M's analytics capability in the manufacturer datasheet — this module may require external VMS intelligence rather than on-camera processing. If you are deploying in extreme outdoor conditions (salt spray, direct sunlight, temperature swings beyond typical HVAC ranges), confirm IP and operating-temperature ratings support your environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the Comelit UT9240M work with non-Comelit video management systems?
A: The UT9240M is designed for integration into Comelit platforms. ONVIF compatibility or third-party VMS support is not confirmed in available documentation. Verify with your Comelit systems integrator before assuming cross-platform compatibility.
Q: What is the power consumption of the UT9240M?
A: Powered via PoE+ (802.3at); exact wattage draw is not specified in current documentation. PoE+ supplies up to 30W, well above typical module requirements. Confirm actual draw in the full datasheet if you are planning power budgets across many units.
Q: Can the UT9240M be mounted outdoors without additional protection?
A: The metal housing supports both indoor and outdoor placement, but environmental rating specifics (IP rating, operating temperature range) require confirmation in the manufacturer datasheet. Covered outdoor areas (entry overhangs, sheltered walls) are safer bets than fully exposed sun or rain zones.
Q: What image compression formats does the UT9240M support?
A: Compression and codec support are not detailed in current evidence. Check the full datasheet or consult your Comelit integrator to confirm H.264, H.265, or MJPEG availability — relevant if you are designing storage and network bandwidth plans.
Q: Is the UT9240M NDAA or TAA compliant?
A: Compliance certifications are not confirmed in current product documentation. If your deployment requires Section 889 or TAA compliance, verify with the manufacturer or your authorized integrator before committing.

The Comelit UT9240M sits in a specific niche: it's a network intercom camera, not a surveillance camera. The 4MP resolution and PoE+ design make sense for access-point identity verification at typical intercom distances. This is not a device you deploy across a warehouse perimeter for broad coverage — it's one you mount at a door buzzer, loading dock gate, or reception desk where someone is actively using it to confirm who's outside.
Technical Highlights:
- PoE+ (802.3at) Power: Eliminates separate 12VDC power supplies at each intercom location. Single Ethernet cable per module streamlines installation and reduces infrastructure complexity compared to legacy analog intercom systems that required both power and coax runs.
- 4MP Resolution: Adequate for facial recognition at 1–3 meter distances typical of entry point scenarios. Not enough for detail at longer ranges or for wide-area crowd monitoring, but precisely right for the intercom use case where the module is close to the access point.
- Metal Construction: Resists mechanical wear and minor corrosion — matters in high-traffic loading areas, secure entries, and covered outdoor passages where plastic modules would show cosmetic failure within 2–3 years.
Deployment Considerations:
- This is a system component, not a standalone device. Confirm your existing Comelit control platform and software version support the UT9240M before design. Cross-generation compatibility exists but is not guaranteed.
- PoE+ availability is not universal — older network infrastructure may only support PoE (802.3af). If your switch or injector is limited to 802.3af, the UT9240M may not function correctly or may operate in a degraded mode. Verify your power delivery infrastructure before procurement.
- Environmental specifications (IP rating, temperature range, humidity tolerance) are not detailed in the current summary. Confirm these in the full datasheet if you are installing in salt-spray zones, extreme temperature facilities, or high-humidity environments.
Best fit: replacing aging analog intercom cameras in networked Comelit installations where you need a durable, simple IP module at each access point and you already have PoE+ infrastructure in place. Avoid if you are deploying a standalone system or if your network backbone is still purely PoE (802.3af).
