Viking E-65-WH Video Entry Phone White Flush Mount IP67

Viking Electronics E-65-WH Satin White Video Entry Phone with Color Camera

Overview

The Viking Electronics E-65-WH is a compact, telephone-line-powered video entry phone engineered for commercial entryways, apartment vestibules, and access-controlled doors where a separate power supply isn't practical. It delivers two-way hands-free audio alongside a wide-angle color video camera — all over a single CAT5E cable run — making it a straightforward drop-in for new construction or retrofit installations that already have structured cabling in place. The E-65-WH ships in a satin white finish and mounts flush in a standard double-gang electrical box or surface-mounts using the optional VE-5x5 enclosure.

This is not an IP-networked video device. The E-65-WH operates on an analog telephone circuit, which means integration targets are traditional PBX systems, analog door-phone interfaces, and analog video monitors — not SIP-based VoIP platforms or NVR-connected IP camera streams. If your deployment is built around SIP or IP video, Viking's IP intercom line is the correct branch to explore instead.

Key Features

• Color Wide-Angle Video Camera: Delivers recognizable facial detail at close range — the kind of image that matters at a residential entrance or a controlled-access lobby door. Wide viewing angle reduces the blind spots common with narrow fixed lenses.
• Single CAT5E Carries Both Audio and Video: Audio and video transmission run on one CAT5E cable, so you're pulling one cable instead of two. For retrofit installations in conduit with limited fill capacity, this is a meaningful labor and materials reduction.
• Telephone-Line Powered: The E-65-WH draws power directly from the telephone line — no separate power supply, no 802.3af PoE switch port, no local power outlet required. The circuit that carries the call also powers the device, which simplifies rough-in and eliminates a failure point.
• IP67 Ingress Protection (Sealed Components): IP67 means the sealed internal components can withstand temporary water immersion — more than adequate for rain-exposed vestibule or exterior door installations. Note: EWP-suffix models carry IP66 certification instead, which covers direct water jets but not immersion. The E-65-WH (non-EWP) hits the higher IP67 benchmark.
• -30°F to 150°F Operating Temperature: This range covers unheated exterior vestibules in cold-weather climates as well as sun-baked exterior walls in southern exposures. Few entry phones are spec'd to both extremes; the E-65-WH handles either without a heated housing.
• Blue LED Call Indicator: Provides a visible cue that the unit is active and a call is in progress — useful in noisy environments where audio feedback alone isn't reliable.
• Adjustable Microphone and Speaker Volume: Field-adjustable volume controls let you tune the audio to the ambient noise level of the installation site without returning to the programming interface — useful at high-traffic lobbies or industrial entryways.
• Automatic Disconnect via CPC, Silence, Busy Signal, or Timeout: Call progress detection ends the call automatically when the far-end hangs up (CPC), the line goes silent, a busy signal is detected, or a configurable timeout expires. This prevents the entry phone from staying off-hook indefinitely if the station is unattended.
• Vandal-Resistant Construction: The E-65-WH is described as vandal resistant, making it appropriate for semi-public or unattended entry points where physical tampering is a realistic risk.
• Flush or Surface Mount Options: Flush-mounts in a standard double-gang electrical box (faceplate: 4.875" x 4.938" x 0.17") or surface-mounts via the VE-5x5 enclosure for locations where a wall box isn't already present. The phone body itself measures 2.84" x 1.8" x 1.65".
• Available in Five Faceplate Finishes: The E-65 platform covers Brushed Stainless Steel, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Brass, Satin Black, and Satin White (this listing). Finish selection lets the unit blend with architectural hardware at upscale residential or hospitality installations.

Integration & Compatibility

The E-65-WH (often searched as E 65 WH) integrates with analog telephone systems and standard POTS circuits. Pairing with a Viking-compatible analog video monitor or an analog door-phone interface board in a PBX gives you both audio and video at the receiving station. Surface-mount deployment is supported via the VE-5x5 enclosure, sold separately. The unit is not compatible with SIP or IP-based intercom platforms — verify your receiving equipment is analog before specifying this model. For projects already running PoE network infrastructure, consider a SIP-based entry phone instead to take advantage of existing IP infrastructure.

If your project requires a higher-megapixel or IP-networked video stream for recording to an NVR, this model does not support that integration path. The E-65-WH is purpose-built for analog telephone-circuit deployments where simplicity, power-over-line, and single-cable installation are the design priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the E-65-WH require a separate power supply?

A: No. The E-65-WH is powered entirely by the telephone line — no external power supply, PoE injector, or local outlet is required. Power is drawn from the analog phone circuit.

Q: What cable is needed to connect the E-65-WH?

A: A single CAT5E cable carries both audio and video transmission. You do not need separate cables for the camera feed and audio circuit.

Q: What is the ingress protection rating of the E-65-WH?

A: The sealed components on the E-65-WH are rated IP67, meaning they can handle temporary water immersion. EWP-suffix variants in the E-65 family are rated IP66 (direct water jet resistance). The standard E-65-WH carries the higher IP67 rating.

Q: What mounting options are available for the E-65-WH?

A: The E-65-WH flush-mounts in a standard double-gang electrical box using the included faceplate (4.875" x 4.938"). For surface-mount applications, the optional VE-5x5 enclosure is available separately.

Q: Is the E-65-WH compatible with VoIP or SIP phone systems?

A: No. The E-65-WH is designed for analog telephone circuits and traditional PBX analog door-phone interfaces. It is not compatible with SIP-based VoIP platforms or IP video systems.

Q: What is the operating temperature range of the E-65-WH?

A: The E-65-WH operates from -30°F to 150°F, covering both cold-climate exterior installations and high-temperature sun-exposed wall locations.
