Product Overview
The Dahua DHI-VTO6221E-P is an IP apartment door station engineered for controlled residential, strata, and shared-building entrances. Its integrated 2MP camera uses a wide 2mm lens to capture clear visitor footage close to the doorway, while supplemental white light illumination ensures optimal visibility in low-light entrance areas.
Residents and authorized users can release the connected lock via password entry or a compatible 13.56MHz Mifare access card using the mechanical keypad with Braille markings. Featuring a 2.3-inch OLED display, built-in omnidirectional microphone, and speaker for two-way audio, this aluminum station supports PoE or 12V DC power alongside surface and flush mounting options. Incorporating relay, door-feedback, exit-button, RS-485, Wiegand, and alarm interfaces, it provides complete access control integration. Note: This model is listed as discontinued; verify current stock and system compatibility prior to purchase.

Choosing the Right Model
Choose this model (DHI-VTO6221E-P) if…
- You are replacing or servicing an existing, compatible Dahua IP intercom installation.
- You require PIN password entry, Mifare card access, and wide-angle 2MP visitor video.
- You need the option to choose between surface mounting (VTM117) or flush mounting (VTM116-01).
Choose a different model if…
- You are designing a brand-new installation. Consider current-generation models to ensure long-term product availability and future system expansion.
- You require high-exposure weatherproofing. Entrances exposed to driving rain or heavy washdowns should select an outdoor station with a higher ingress rating than IP55.
