Know before you buy
Yes. The JO-1MDW supports Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to use the Intercom App Type B to view visitors and engage in two-way talk directly from your smartphone or tablet.
The system supports up to eight paired devices, allowing multiple users to receive notifications and manage visitor access remotely.
Installation is designed to be straightforward, as the unit utilizes a 2-wire connection. This makes it a practical choice for retrofitting or upgrading existing intercom setups without needing complex rewiring.
The master station records call history locally, which you can review later. If you need more space than the internal memory provides, you can expand the storage capacity by inserting a microSDHC card of up to 32GB.
You have the flexibility to choose either wall mounting or desk mounting, depending on your space and preference. Both options are supported out of the box.
The unit carries an IP54 rating, meaning it is protected against dust and water splashes. While it is durable, it is intended for indoor use as a master station, while the outdoor door station is the component that requires full weather resistance.
