2MP Full HD Starlight Camera
The DH618 features a 2-megapixel Starlight camera capable of delivering Full HD 1080p video through a compatible DH Series digital intercom system.
With a 150° horizontal viewing angle, the camera provides a wide view of visitors standing at the entrance.
Starlight camera technology helps improve image capture under challenging lighting conditions.
Actual viewing quality depends on the entrance lighting, installation position and compatible indoor monitor.
1.8-Inch Colour Information Display
Selected DH618 versions feature an integrated 1.8-inch TFT display with a resolution of 240 × 284 pixels.
The display can provide convenient visitor information and supported customisable details, such as a resident name, room identification or call status.
Available display functions depend on the model version, connected monitor and installed firmware.
Please Note: The manufacturer's product documentation identifies the 1.8-inch display as an optional feature. Confirm that the supplied unit includes this display before ordering.
Two-Way Video & Audio Communication
When a visitor presses the outdoor call button, the DH618 sends a call to the corresponding compatible indoor station.
With a compatible video monitor, the resident can:
- See the visitor through the outdoor camera.
- Answer the call using two-way audio.
- Monitor the entrance using supported indoor monitor functions.
- Activate a compatible electric lock or door-release circuit.
The DH618 can also be used with suitable DH Series audio-only indoor stations, although video will not be displayed on an audio-only device.
Digital 2-Wire DH Series Technology
The V-TEC DH618 operates using the dedicated 2EASY DH Series digital 2-wire BUS system.
Compatible intercom devices communicate through the system's two-wire connection, simplifying installation compared with traditional multi-core video intercom systems.
Suitable existing two-core cabling may be reusable when its condition, conductor size, length and installation layout meet the manufacturer's requirements.
The DH618 is compatible with selected DH Series power supplies, including:
- V-TEC PC7
- V-TEC PC7H
- V-TEC PC9
- V-TEC PC9D
- V-TEC PC7D
Power supply selection must account for the number of indoor stations, outdoor stations and other connected equipment.
Important: This is a DH Series digital 2-wire intercom device. It is not a standard Ethernet PoE door station and is not directly interchangeable with V-TEC DT Series equipment.
Smartphone Connectivity with Compatible Wi-Fi Monitors
The DH618 can be used with compatible V-TEC DH Series Wi-Fi video monitors to provide supported smartphone intercom functions.
Depending on the selected monitor, firmware and supported mobile application, these functions may include:
- Receiving visitor calls on a smartphone.
- Viewing visitors remotely.
- Two-way audio communication.
- Supported remote door-unlocking functions.
Please Note: The DH618 does not provide standalone Wi-Fi or smartphone connectivity. These features require a suitable compatible Wi-Fi indoor monitor, internet connection and correctly configured mobile application.
Electric Door Lock Control
The DH618 includes a built-in dry-contact relay output for controlling a compatible electric door lock or suitably interfaced gate controller.
The manufacturer specifies a dry-contact relay with a current rating of up to 3A.
As this is a dry-contact output, an appropriate separate power supply may be required for the electric lock.
The lock power supply must match the lock's voltage and current requirements, and the entire switching arrangement must comply with the manufacturer's electrical ratings.
Important: The DH618 should not be assumed to provide a powered 12V lock output. Refer to the manufacturer's wiring diagram before connecting an electric lock or gate controller.
Second Door or Gate Control
The DH618 features one built-in dry-contact lock relay.
Customers who need to operate a second independently controlled electric door lock or gate must use an additional compatible DH Series lock-control interface or relay solution, where supported by the system.
Any additional lock-control equipment, external power supplies and wiring must be selected according to the manufacturer's compatibility and installation requirements.
Please Note: DT Series relay modules, including the DT-RLC, should not be assumed compatible with the DH618. Additional lock-control equipment is not included unless specifically stated.
Compact Surface-Mount Design & Dimensions
The DH618 features a compact anodised aluminium housing designed for surface-mounted installation.
At just 48mm wide, it is particularly suitable for narrow entrance pillars, door frames and residential entrance locations where installation space is limited.
Product Dimensions:
- Height: 130mm
- Width: 48mm
- Depth: 26mm
- Overall Dimensions: 130 (H) × 48 (W) × 26 (D) mm
The manufacturer uses a self-locking mounting mechanism that allows the outdoor station to be released from its mounting bracket using the designated release point.
Installation must follow the manufacturer's instructions to maintain the IP54 weather-protection rating.
