Algo 8028 SIP Doorphone (G2) is a PoE IP intercom for hands-free visitor communication at a secure entrance door or gate. This IP intercom / doorphone is outdoor-rated and is also a fully compliant 3rd party SIP endpoint. As a result, the 8028 is compatible with most hosted / cloud and premise-based VoIP telephone systems. Powered via PoE and UL/CSA, FCC and CE certified, this doorphone kit includes a controller, an intercom station with stainless steel faceplate, and a surface mount bracket for wall mounting. The intercom station can also be flush mounted into a double gang box (not included). Mounting gaskets are also included in the kit for installing the intercom in any outdoor environment. A brass faceplate is available for separate purchase. Visitors press the call button on the 8028 intercom station to initiate calling to a configured extension such as a security desk or hunt group. Answering the intercom call enables two-way communication with the visitor. Any telephone, device or client on the UC platform can communicate with the doorphone  (e.g., mobile or wireless phone, soft client on a tablet or laptop, desk phone). A controller + intercom station are two components of the 8028 IP doorphone. The controller provides the network connection and the relay for door / gate access control. As the controller is generally located inside the premise, the 8028 is a secure solution in the event where there is tampering of the public-facing intercom station. The relay and network connection are in no way exposed, and unauthorized entry to the building or access to the network is prevented.
