Comelit UT9279M Numerical Keypad Module
The Comelit UT9279M is a networked numerical keypad designed for IP-based access control and intercom integration. This accessory simplifies credential entry in residential and commercial entry points without requiring separate power infrastructure, making it practical for retrofit and new deployments where conduit runs are limited.
Key Features
- PoE+ Power (802.3at) — Draws full power over a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for 12V auxiliary wiring or local AC power. Reduces installation labor and cable clutter in wall-mounted applications.
- 4MP Video Capability — Integrated video sensor provides snapshots during access events, useful for audit logs and verification of credential entry. Supports monitoring of the entry point during keypad interaction.
- Numerical Keypad Input — Dedicated numeric entry interface for PIN codes, door unlock commands, and system navigation within Comelit IP intercom ecosystems. Physical button tactile feedback aids user confidence in low-light conditions.
- IP-Based Connectivity — Uses standard Ethernet (RJ-45) to connect to Comelit network hardware and network video recorders. Integrates with existing IP infrastructure without requiring proprietary wiring.
- Indoor Wall-Mount Design — Compact form factor suitable for hallways, residential foyers, and commercial lobbies. Verify mounting substrate compatibility before final installation.
- Comelit System Integration — Works within the Comelit access control family and compatible IP intercom platforms. Confirm system compatibility with your existing Comelit infrastructure before purchase.
Integration & Compatibility
The UT9279M integrates with Comelit IP cameras and control systems that support ONVIF standards or proprietary Comelit protocols. Verify that your network video recorder or access control server supports the UT9279M model before deployment. Installation requires standard PoE+ capable network switches — check your switch power budget if deploying multiple PoE+ endpoints simultaneously. For guidance on PoE power planning across mixed device types, consult your network infrastructure documentation.
Typical Deployment Scenarios
Deploy the UT9279M at secure entry points where integrated video verification of keypad entry adds value — apartment buildings, office foyers, data center access vestibules, and storage facilities. In scenarios requiring high-speed throughput or complex analytics, pair with a dedicated network video recorder to offload processing and enable extended retention.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the UT9279M require a separate power supply?
A: No. The UT9279M operates entirely on PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) delivered over standard Ethernet cable. Ensure your network switch supports PoE+ output on the port where you connect the unit.
Q: What compression formats does the UT9279M support?
A: The 4MP video capability supports standard IP video compression formats compatible with Comelit intercom servers. Refer to your Comelit server documentation for specific codec support (typically H.264 and H.265 variants).
Q: Can I mount the UT9279M outdoors?
A: The UT9279M is designed for indoor use. For outdoor or wet-environment entry control, consult Comelit's weatherproof keypad variants or protective enclosure options.
Q: Is the UT9279M compatible with non-Comelit systems?
A: The UT9279M is optimized for Comelit IP intercom and access control platforms. Compatibility with third-party systems depends on ONVIF support and integration protocols. Verify compatibility with your system integrator before purchase.

The UT9279M delivers practical value in environments where unified access entry and video logging matter — the PoE+ power model cuts installation friction significantly compared to traditional keypads requiring separate 12V wiring runs. The 4MP camera integration on the UT9279M gives you timestamped entry attempts without a separate bullet or turret camera, which saves cost and simplifies maintenance in residential multi-unit buildings.
Technical Highlights:
- PoE+ (802.3at) Single-Cable Power: One Ethernet run eliminates dual-wiring complexity. Most modern enterprise switches support PoE+ on multiple ports — verify your switch's per-port budget (typically 30W max at the source) before parallel deployment.
- 4MP Integrated Video: Captures entry events at meaningful resolution for PIN-code verification and audit trails. Storage footprint is manageable on reasonably-sized recordings — typically 1–2 TB per month at standard frame rates depending on compression and your Comelit server configuration.
- Comelit Native Integration: Works directly with Comelit IP intercom controllers and access servers without protocol translation or third-party adapters. ONVIF Profile S support enables basic integration with non-Comelit VMS if needed, but functionality may be limited.
Deployment Considerations:
- The UT9279M assumes indoor mounting — rain splash or humidity ingress will degrade the keypad and optics. Do not install in vestibules without protection from direct spray.
- PoE+ budget scales linearly with unit count. Five UT9279M units draw approximately 60–65W total at peak; confirm your switch's backplane and PSU capacity before scaling to a dozen or more units on a single access line.
- Keypad tactile feedback and numeric entry are standard; if your deployment requires biometric factors (fingerprint, card reader co-location), you'll need supplementary hardware integrated separately into the Comelit server.
Choose the UT9279M for multi-unit residential or small commercial access points where a unified entry log and basic video verification justify integrated hardware — it's a solid fit for apartment buildings, office lobbies, and secured storage entry where PoE infrastructure already exists. Skip it if you need outdoor hardening or facial recognition pre-screening.
