Know before you buy
The JO-1MD requires a dedicated 2-conductor wire for operation. While it is a simple wiring setup, it is not designed to run on standard low-voltage doorbell transformers, so you will need to ensure the correct cabling is in place.
Yes, the unit features a built-in door release function. You can remotely unlock a door or gate directly from the touchscreen interface, provided your door strike or lock is wired to the system.
The master station is designed with a slim profile, measuring only 20mm in depth. It mounts flush against the wall using a standard 3-gang electrical box, keeping the installation clean and unobtrusive.
The system uses half-duplex communication, which allows for clear, hands-free audio. While it is not a full-duplex system like a telephone, the built-in microphone and speaker provide reliable communication between the master station and the door station.
The JO-1MD is specifically designed to function as the master control for the Aiphone JOS-1A, JOS-1V, and JOS-1F series. It is not universally compatible with other Aiphone series or third-party video doorbells.
Yes, the master station includes the capability to activate external devices. This allows you to integrate and control additional hardware, such as external lighting or secondary security triggers, directly from the interface.
