Valcom VIP-172AL-VRSS Ip Intercom Vandal Resistant

Product Description

The VALCOM VIP-172AL-VRSS is a vandal-resistant IP intercom door station built for demanding access-control and communication applications. Constructed with a stainless steel faceplate, it is engineered to withstand physical abuse in high-traffic or unsecured entry points while maintaining reliable voice communication over a standard IP network. The unit ships as a single device and is intended for professional installation by low-voltage or access-control technicians in commercial and institutional environments.

The VIP-172AL-VRSS is suited for door entry, lobby, stairwell, or controlled-access deployments where a flush-mounted or surface-mounted intercom point is required. The vandal-resistant construction makes it appropriate for correctional facilities, schools, multifamily residential buildings, parking structures, and other locations where standard intercom hardware would be vulnerable to tampering or damage. It integrates into IP-based intercom and paging systems that support SIP or proprietary IP communication protocols.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or communications technician familiar with IP network configuration and access-control systems. Disconnect power to the network switch or PoE injector supplying the unit before making or modifying wiring connections. Consult local building codes and NEC Article 800 requirements for communication circuit wiring. Do not overtighten mounting hardware against the stainless steel faceplate, as this may distort the housing or compromise the vandal-resistant rating.
