The VTO2202F-P-S2 is an outdoor station from the new generation of Dahua Video Intercom products. The communication of this generation of video intercom products uses the SIP protocol. This protocol ensures a good speaking-listening connection and offers options for integration with third parties. The appearance of the outdoor station has been modernized, vandal-resistant and IP55. The VTO2202F-P-S2 is suitable for both IP and/or 3rd generation 2-wire Intercom products. The VTO2202F-P-S2 is compatible with all Dahua Video Intercom IP products from firmware version 4.3.

Pros:

• PoE: This intercom is suitable for PoE. This makes it possible to provide the module with power and network connection with one network cable. This does not include power supply for the door lock.
• 2nd Door control from secured area with the DEE1010B: The DEE1010B is a module that can be connected to the main module via RS485. This allows additional contacts to be added to the VTO2202F-P-S2 system over a secure connection. The most important connection on the module is the NO/NC relay. This can be used as a 2nd door control.
• Suitable for PoE and 2-wire communication: The VTO2202F-P-S2 is suitable for IP technology with power supply over PoE and can simultaneously combine this with 2-wire communication.
• Push notifications in DMSS app: It is possible to receive push notifications in the DMSS app. By adding the outdoor station to the app. An internal post is not necessary for this VTO.

Points of attention:

• H.265: By default, the video compression is set to H.265, but some indoor units only support H.264. The compression can be changed in the VTO settings
• Lighting: The nameplate of the VTO is not illuminated, which makes the nameplate less readable in the dark
• 3rd generation 2-wire switches cannot be used in combination with 2nd generation 2-wire switches: The S2 models support 3rd generation 2-wire communication. This also means that they are not suitable for combining with the previous 2nd generation switches. Based on IP, these generations are compatible with each other. By linking both switches together based on IP, mutual communication is possible
• Door lock power supply not via PoE: An external power supply is required to power a door lock.
• Sealing: The front of the outdoor station is IP65, the rear still needs to be sealed
• Reports/Notifications in DMSS may arrive with a delay: When the doorbell rings, the notifications are sent directly by the outdoor station, so they generally arrive quickly. But they can also arrive delayed. Various factors influence this, such as internet speed on the sending and receiving side, traffic on Dahua's cloud servers and the status of the notification servers of Apple and Android.
• External bell/buzzer only possible in combination with VTH: without an internal unit, this outdoor unit cannot control an external doorbell

Advice:

• Outdoor installation: The intercom unit is IP65 and therefore suitable for outdoor installation. It is spray-proof up to 12.5 liters per minute. The rear must be completely sealed off. Too much water can have a negative effect on the operation of the outdoor station. It is therefore advised to be careful when placing the intercom in the direct outdoors where wind and rain have free rein.
• DMSS app and push notifications for multiple users: Be careful with the number of users who will work with the app and this intercom system. The advice is to use no more than 5 users per push button. Also, the module is not powerful enough to send video and audio data to a large number of users at the same time,
• Multiple Dahua Outposts: It is possible to use multiple and different outposts in one system. Please note that a maximum of 1 outdoor station can serve as a SIP server. The rest becomes subordinate.
• Keep the firmware versions the same: Try to work as much as possible with the same firmware versions for the indoor and outdoor stations. The latest firmware can be found with the product under the downloads tab.
