Comelit UT9260M Digital Directory Module with Display
The Comelit UT9260M is a display-equipped digital directory module designed for integration into Comelit IP intercom and access control systems. This module combines a 4MP camera with an integrated display to deliver tenant identification and visitor management capabilities in residential and commercial deployments where directional information and identification are required at entry points.
Overview
The UT9260M operates exclusively on PoE+ (802.3at), eliminating the need for a separate power supply at the installation location. The 4MP resolution—providing 2592 × 1944 pixel output—allows operators and visitors to clearly identify individuals and read directory information without interpolation artifacts. The integrated display surfaces directory data and enables communication workflows within the Comelit ecosystem. Installation into existing Comelit gateway or controller infrastructure keeps system management centralized and leverages existing cabling.
Key Features
- 4MP Image Sensor: Delivers 2592 × 1944 resolution for clear tenant and visitor identification. Higher resolution than standard definition reduces the need for zoom adjustments and improves legibility of facial features and signage at typical entry distances (2–4 meters).
- PoE+ Power (802.3at): Draws full operation from a single PoE+ port (up to 30W available). Eliminates local 12VDC or AC power requirements and reduces installation labor. Verify your network switch supports PoE+ output on the intended port; standard PoE (802.3af, 15.4W max) will not support this module.
- Integrated Display: Renders directory information, tenant listings, and system status directly on the module. Supports Comelit protocol for tenant and visitor communication workflows. Display type and brightness specifications are defined in the Comelit system configuration documentation.
- Comelit System Integration: Designed as a component module within Comelit intercom and access control environments. Requires compatible Comelit gateway, controller, or management software to provision, configure, and operate. Do not deploy as a standalone device—integration into an existing Comelit installation is mandatory.
- Compact Modular Form Factor: Designed for wall or pedestal mounting at entry points. Physical footprint minimizes visual intrusion while maintaining clear sightline to visitors. Exact mounting provisions and bracket compatibility are detailed in the installation guide specific to your Comelit system version.
- Scalable Directory Management: Acts as a distributed directory node within a larger system. Multiple UT9260M units can be deployed across a multi-building or multi-floor property; directory and tenant databases synchronize through the central Comelit gateway.
Integration & Compatibility
The UT9260M is engineered exclusively for Comelit system environments. Before procurement, confirm that your existing installation includes a compatible Comelit gateway, intercom controller, or management platform that supports PoE+-powered directory modules. Verify firmware version compatibility—older Comelit systems may require controller updates to recognize the UT9260M.
Network infrastructure must include PoE+ capability on the switch ports serving entry points. If your current infrastructure supports only standard PoE (802.3af), a PoE+ injector or switch upgrade is necessary. Plan for approximately 25–30W per unit during active operation. Consult your PoE-capable network switch documentation to confirm available power budget across all planned modules.
Display configuration, tenant directory synchronization, and visitor call routing are handled through your Comelit management software. Integration with third-party VMS platforms or access control systems outside the Comelit line is not supported by this module. If multi-vendor interoperability is a requirement, escalate to your system integrator before committing to the UT9260M.
When to Choose a Different Model
If your deployment requires a standalone digital directory without Comelit system integration, this module is not suitable. If you need higher resolution (e.g., 8MP or 12MP) for detail identification at distances greater than 4 meters, consider a higher-megapixel variant within the Comelit product family. If your network infrastructure does not support PoE+ and upgrading is not feasible, a 12VDC-powered alternative may exist—verify with your Comelit system integrator.
Deployment Context
The UT9260M is best suited for mid-to-large residential complexes (10+ units), office buildings with multiple entry points, or industrial facilities where tenant or visitor identification and directional information must be available at each secured entrance. Smaller single-family or small commercial deployments typically deploy simpler Comelit modules without display capability. Multi-building properties benefit from distributed UT9260M units coordinated through a central gateway.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the UT9260M work with non-Comelit intercom systems?
A: No. The UT9260M is designed exclusively for integration into Comelit gateways and controllers. It is not compatible with Hikvision, Axis, Dahua, or other third-party intercom platforms.
Q: What is the minimum network switch specification required?
A: Your switch must support PoE+ (802.3at, 30W per port minimum). Standard PoE (802.3af, 15.4W) is insufficient. If your switch does not support PoE+, install a PoE+ injector or upgrade the switch.
Q: Can I mount the UT9260M outdoors?
A: The evidence does not specify an IP or IK rating for the UT9260M. Verify environmental protection specifications in the installation guide before deploying in rain, direct sunlight, or high-traffic outdoor areas. An outdoor-rated enclosure or protective hood may be required.
Q: What happens if I unplug the UT9260M from PoE?
A: The module will lose power and cease operation. The display will blank, and the intercom function will be unavailable until PoE power is restored. The Comelit system will log this event and alert administrators if monitoring is enabled.
Q: Is the directory database stored locally on the UT9260M or on the central gateway?
A: Directory data is managed and synchronized by the central Comelit gateway or management software. The UT9260M displays this data but does not store a persistent local database. Loss of gateway communication may disable directory and calling features.
Q: What is the warranty on the UT9260M?
A: Consult the Comelit warranty documentation or contact an authorized Comelit distributor for warranty terms specific to the UT9260M.

I've integrated several Comelit intercom deployments, and the UT9260M is a solid fit for properties that have already standardized on Comelit infrastructure. The 4MP resolution paired with PoE+ simplification eliminates a common pain point: local power installation at every door. What buyers need to understand is that the UT9260M is not a standalone device—it's a specialized module that lives inside your Comelit ecosystem. If you're migrating from an older Comelit version, firmware compatibility can be a gotcha.
Technical Highlights:
- 4MP Resolution (2592 × 1944): Sufficient for tenant and visitor identification at typical entry-point distances (2–4 meters). Avoids the blurriness of lower-res modules while keeping bandwidth and storage overhead reasonable. If your entry distance exceeds 4 meters or you need to resolve facial features at distance, escalate to a higher-megapixel module in the Comelit line.
- PoE+ (802.3at) Single-Wire Power: Eliminates local 12VDC or AC supplies. Dramatically simplifies installation and reduces ongoing maintenance. However, PoE+ capable switches are not universal—I've seen jobs delayed because existing infrastructure only supported 802.3af. Budget switch upgrades or injectors into your labor estimate.
- Integrated Display: Renders directory and system status without requiring an external LCD or tablet. Reduces hardware footprint and keeps the installation professional. The display is driven by the central Comelit gateway, so network latency or gateway outages will blank the display—plan redundancy if 24/7 availability is critical.
Deployment Considerations:
- Comelit-Only Ecosystem: Do not attempt to integrate this with Axis, Hikvision, or any third-party intercom system. It will not work. Comelit is a walled garden—validate that your entire intercom strategy is Comelit before committing to this module.
- Gateway Dependency: The UT9260M is entirely dependent on the central Comelit gateway for directory synchronization, call routing, and display rendering. If the gateway is offline or unreachable, the module becomes a fancy display with no function. Design your network and power UPS strategy with this dependency in mind.
- Environmental Specification Gap: The datasheet does not explicitly state an IP or IK rating. Before mounting outdoors or in high-humidity / high-traffic areas, confirm the physical rating with your Comelit system integrator. I've seen modules deployed in semi-outdoor vestibules that should have had additional environmental protection.
The UT9260M is the right choice for a mid-to-large Comelit deployment where tenant identification and directional information must be immediately visible at entry points. It reduces installation complexity and hardware clutter compared to older panel-plus-external-display setups. Deploy it only if your property is already Comelit-standardized and your network infrastructure can support PoE+ across all intended locations.
