Viking X-35-SS HD Video IP Intercom 1080p SIP Stainless Steel

Viking Electronics X-35-SS IP Entry Phone with HD Video — Stainless Steel Flush Mount

Overview

The Viking Electronics X-35-SS is a SIP-based IP video intercom designed for commercial entry control where durability, weather resistance, and HD video verification have to coexist in a single flush-mount unit. Machined from 316 brushed stainless steel, it installs into a standard double-gang box or surface mount with an optional VE-Series box — no custom cutouts, no proprietary housings. The X-35-SS (often searched as X 35 SS) ships ready to register on any SIP 2.0 infrastructure and starts delivering 1080p video calls the day it's installed.

This is a purpose-built entry phone, not a repurposed camera with a button bolted on. That distinction matters when you're specifying a product that will take physical abuse at a loading dock or parking structure entrance for years. Explore more in the Viking Electronics intercom and access control line to see how the X-35-SS fits alongside companion door controllers and call management hardware.

Key Features

• Up to 1080p SIP Video Calling: Full HD video over standard SIP 2.0 (RFC 3261) means callers at the door are visually verified before the relay trips — not just heard. The H.264 codec keeps bandwidth manageable on congested networks while maintaining evidence-grade image quality at the entry point.
• 126° Wide Viewing Angle: A 126-degree field of view captures the full width of most entry approaches without a supplemental camera. Visitors can't step out of frame to avoid identification — useful at covered vestibules, loading bays, and ADA-compliant ramp entrances where the approach angle varies.
• Separate NVR Stream with Audio: The X-35-SS outputs a dedicated NVR stream alongside the SIP video call, so your network video recorder captures continuous entry footage independent of whether a call is active. You get both live intercom video and recorded evidence without a second camera.
• H.264 and MJPEG Video Codecs: H.264 is the primary codec for SIP calls and NVR streams; MJPEG remains available for legacy VMS systems or integrations that don't handle H.264 natively. No need to rearchitect your recording platform to add this device.
• G.711u, G.711a, and G.722 Audio Codecs: G.722 delivers wideband audio (50 Hz–7 kHz) — noticeably clearer two-way voice than standard G.711 narrowband. On noisy exterior entries (HVAC, traffic, loading equipment), the difference is whether you understand the caller on the first exchange or the third.
• 316 Brushed Stainless Steel Faceplate: Grade 316 stainless resists chloride corrosion — a meaningful upgrade over 304 SS at coastal installations, pool facilities, or anywhere salt or chemical exposure is a factor. The brushed finish hides surface scratches from daily contact and maintains a professional appearance over time.
• PoE Class 1 (IEEE 802.3af): Class 1 PoE draws under 3.84W — the lowest PoE power class. Your existing 802.3af PoE switches handle it without budget concerns, and you don't need to run a separate power circuit to the entry point. Single Cat5e/Cat6 run handles data and power together.
• 2A Relay Contacts: The onboard relay handles electric strikes and small magnetic locks rated at 2A directly — no intermediate relay board required for most standard entry hardware. Verify your specific lock's inrush current before wiring, but most commercial electric strikes fall well within this rating.
• Operating Temperature -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C): This range covers northern Minnesota winters and Arizona summers without a heater or cooling element. For installations in unheated vestibules, parking garages, or exterior walls in extreme climates, the thermal envelope is a real specification — not a marketing qualifier.
• EWP Variant Available (Up to 100% Humidity): The standard X-35-SS is rated 5–95% non-condensing. If your installation is in a car wash, aquatic facility, or any space with condensation risk, the X-35-SS-EWP variant extends humidity tolerance to 100%. Specify the right variant at the design stage — don't field-modify a standard unit.
• 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet: Gigabit network compliance future-proofs the connection at high-throughput sites and ensures compatibility with modern managed switch infrastructure without forcing a port downgrade.
