Viking E-35-IP VoIP Door Entry Phone w/ Color Video Camera PoE

Viking Electronics E-35-IP VoIP Door Entry Phone with Analog Color Video Camera

The Viking Electronics E-35-IP is a SIP 2.0 VoIP handsfree entry phone with a built-in analog NTSC color video camera, engineered for door and gate access points where you need audio intercommunication and visual verification on a single PoE drop. If you're wiring an entry point into an existing SIP phone system and want camera coverage without a separate video appliance, the E-35-IP is the straightforward path — one cable handles power, voice, and network.

Overview

The E-35-IP integrates a weather and vandal-resistant stainless steel housing, a full-duplex handsfree speakerphone, and a wide-angle color video camera into a 5" x 5" x 2.25" flush-mount unit. It installs flush using the included rough-in box or surface-mounts with the optional VE-5x5 adapter. Power comes entirely from the network via IEEE 802.3af PoE Class 1 — drawing under 4 watts, it won't strain even a modest switch's PoE budget. For integrators managing tight power budgets across multi-door deployments, that sub-4W draw is a real advantage.

Key Features

• SIP 2.0 / RFC 3261 Compliance: Registers as a standard SIP endpoint, so it drops into Asterisk, FreePBX, Cisco UCM, 3CX, and virtually any RFC 3261-compliant platform without custom configuration. No proprietary middleware required — dial rules and ring groups apply directly.
• PoE Class 1 — Under 4 Watts: Draws less than 4W from a standard 802.3af PoE port. A single Cat5e/Cat6 run handles power and data, eliminating the need for a local power supply at the door frame. On a 150W PoE switch, you can power 37+ of these without approaching budget limits.
• Built-In Analog NTSC Color Video Camera: The wide viewing angle with tilt/swivel adjustment lets you frame the entry scene during installation rather than accepting a fixed view. The analog NTSC output provides a visual verification channel — confirm who's at the door before the call is answered. Check your VMS or analog input availability; this is an analog camera output, not an IP stream.
• 95 dB SPL Audio Output at 1 Meter: Enough output to cut through ambient noise in loading docks, parking structures, or mechanical rooms. G.711u, G.711a, and G.722 codec support means wideband HD audio is available if your SIP platform supports G.722 — noticeably cleaner voice quality over narrowband G.711.
• -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C) Operating Range: Full temperature range covers unheated vestibules in northern climates and sun-exposed exterior installations in desert environments. The EWP variant extends humidity tolerance to 100% for wash-down or truly exposed installations — standard units are rated 5–95% non-condensing.
• Stainless Steel Vandal-Resistant Housing: The flush 5" x 5" footprint installs over a standard 4" x 4" electrical rough-in box (included). Stainless construction at entry points resists casual vandalism and weathering better than painted or powder-coated alternatives.
• Dual Relay Contacts (2A): Two onboard relay contacts at 2 Amp capacity provide direct door strike or gate controller integration without an external relay module. Wire the strike directly; no intermediate relay board needed for most residential and light commercial lock hardware.
• 100BASE-Tx / IEEE 802.3 Network: Single RJ45 10/100 port with six gel-filled butt connectors for field splices. The gel-filled connectors are a practical detail — they provide a moisture-resistant termination point for in-wall or conduit runs exposed to humidity, avoiding a common failure point at outdoor entry locations.
• FCC Part 15 and Canada ICES-3 Class A: Regulatory compliance is established for US and Canadian deployments. No variance or special approval process for standard commercial installations.

Integration and Compatibility

The E-35-IP (often searched as E 35 IP) connects to any SIP 2.0-compliant phone system via a single RJ45 jack. G.711u, G.711a, and G.722 audio codecs are supported — confirm G.722 support on your SIP server if HD voice is a requirement. The analog NTSC color video output requires a compatible analog video input on your monitoring equipment or DVR; it is not an IP camera stream and does not integrate with IP-based VMS platforms directly. The dual 2A relay contacts support direct wiring to electric door strikes, magnetic locks, or gate controllers. For VoIP intercom systems requiring surface mounting, pair with the optional VE-5x5 surface-mount box (sold separately). The unit ships flush-mount-ready with the rough-in box included. If your project includes multiple entry points, review PoE switch sizing — at under 4W per unit, even a 30W PoE injector handles up to seven doors. See our PoE switch selection guide for deployment planning. For larger commercial entry systems, the Viking Electronics product family includes master stations and expansion modules compatible with the same SIP infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What SIP platforms is the E-35-IP compatible with?

A: The E-35-IP is compliant with SIP 2.0 (RFC 3261), which means it will register as a standard SIP endpoint on Asterisk, FreePBX, 3CX, Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and any RFC 3261-compliant IP PBX or hosted VoIP platform. No proprietary middleware is required.

Q: Does the E-35-IP require a separate power supply?

A: No. The unit is powered entirely via IEEE 802.3af PoE (Class 1, under 4 watts). A single Cat5e or Cat6 cable from a PoE-capable switch or PoE injector handles both power and data. No local power supply or transformer is needed at the door.

Q: Is the video camera on the E-35-IP an IP camera or analog?

A: The camera is an analog NTSC color video camera — it is not an IP camera and does not produce an RTSP or ONVIF stream. It requires a compatible analog video input on a DVR or monitor. It cannot be directly integrated with IP-based VMS platforms without an analog-to-IP encoder.

Q: What is the operating temperature range of the E-35-IP?

A: The standard E-35-IP operates from -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C). For installations exposed to high humidity or wash-down environments, the E-35-IP-EWP variant is rated up to 100% humidity. Standard units are rated 5–95% non-condensing.

Q: Can the E-35-IP trigger an electric door strike directly?

A: Yes. The unit includes two onboard relay contacts rated at 2 Amps, which can directly control most electric door strikes, magnetic locks, or gate controllers without an external relay module. Verify the current draw of your lock hardware against the 2A relay rating before wiring.

Q: What mounting options are available for the E-35-IP?

A: The E-35-IP ships with a 4" x 4" rough-in box for flush installation in a standard electrical box opening. For surface mounting on a flat wall, the optional VE-5x5 surface-mount adapter is available separately.

The E-35-IP is one of those units I spec when a customer wants door intercommunication and visual confirmation at an entry point without pulling a second cable run or adding an IP camera to the VMS license count. The sub-4W PoE Class 1 draw is what makes it practical at scale — on a 24-port PoE switch with a 370W budget, you can cover 90+ doors before touching the power ceiling. That math matters when you're pricing a multi-building campus rollout.

Technical Highlights:

• SIP 2.0 RFC 3261: Registers natively on any standards-compliant SIP platform — Asterisk, 3CX, Cisco UCM — without gateway appliances. Dial plan rules apply directly, so ring groups and hunt sequences work exactly as configured on the PBX.
• 95 dB SPL @ 1m with G.722 Support: Loud enough for noisy environments (loading docks, parking garages), and G.722 wideband codec delivers noticeably cleaner audio when both ends support it. That's a real usability difference in a medical or corporate lobby versus narrowband G.711.
• -40°F to 140°F Operating Range: Rated for outdoor use in genuinely harsh climates — unheated vestibules in Minnesota winters or rooftop access hatches in Phoenix summers both fall comfortably within spec. The EWP variant extends this to 100% humidity if you're dealing with wash-down or fully exposed coastal installations.

Deployment Considerations:

• The video output is analog NTSC — plan your head-end accordingly. If your VMS is IP-only (Milestone, Genetec, Axis Camera Station), you'll need an analog encoder at the DVR or a hybrid recorder with analog inputs. Don't spec this expecting an RTSP stream.
• The dual relay contacts are rated at 2A — adequate for most electric strikes and magnetic locks, but verify your lock hardware's inrush current. High-inrush magnetic locks at 24VDC can briefly exceed 2A on energize; use a relay booster module if your lock spec exceeds the rating.

This unit is well-suited for K-12 school main entries, multi-tenant office vestibules, or light industrial access points where a single Cat6 run needs to deliver voice, visual verification, and door release — and the SIP infrastructure is already in place. It is not the right pick for IP VMS-integrated door stations or applications requiring digital video over the network.
