Channel Vision CAT5 Whole-House Intercom System — Specifications (P-0930)

Product specification sheet for the Channel Vision CAT5 Whole-House Intercom System, built around the P-0930 Intercom Hub — an affordable, CAT5-based intercom that connects Intercom Stations, front-door stations, and a master remote control into a single expandable whole-house communication system.

System Overview

The CAT5 Whole-House Intercom System lets homeowners communicate directly between rooms, the front door, or the entire house through Intercom Stations located in each room. Only standard CAT5 cable is required to connect the Intercom Hub to keypads and door stations, and the system is expandable to up to 24 Intercom Stations, including up to two (2) door stations — making it adaptable to virtually any size home. Since every Intercom Station is a master unit, the system provides direct room-to-room communication and features not typically offered by other intercom systems, including remote-control-driven hands-free calling from anywhere in the home.

Key Features & Benefits

• Category 5 Cabling — affordable and easy to install; only CAT5 cable is needed to connect the Intercom Hub to keypads and door stations.
• 6 Direct Call Buttons per Intercom Station — enables room-to-room calling with customizable room labels.
• Room-to-Room Communication — speak discretely and directly with individual rooms on the system.
• Global Paging — whole-house broadcast announcements through Intercom Stations located throughout the home.
• Master Remote Control Included — provides complete system control; can program basic learning remotes directly, or download HEX/CCF files from the Channel Vision website for more advanced programmable remotes.
• Built-In IR Repeating Backbone — creates a base platform for connecting and controlling other household IR-based systems, including multi-room audio/video systems, from any room equipped with an Intercom Station.
• Expandable to 24 Zones — adaptable to virtually any size home.
• Screw-On Station Expanders — additional direct call buttons are added to an existing Intercom Station simply by screwing the extender onto the station, with no additional wall holes required.
• Room Monitoring — discretely monitor a single room at a time; ideal for monitoring children or the elderly.
• Two Do Not Disturb Modes — Ring Only mode, or complete privacy with Do Not Disturb mode.
• Talk & Page from Every Station — no need to be at a main console to talk or page other stations in the home.
• Page Out Audio Integration — connects easily to Channel Vision's CAT5 Audio Distribution module (P-1014); interrupts the main audio source so pages can be heard through the audio system's speakers, ideal for areas without an Intercom Station installed.
• Hands-Free Reply / Push-to-Talk — answer intercom calls without pressing a button, or use push-to-talk to communicate in the presence of background noise.
• Double-Gang Keypad Style — one double-gang hole is all that's needed for every Station, even with zone expansions.
• Integrated Speaker — no separate speaker module required.
• Up to Two Door Stations with Chime Option — built-in support for up to two Front Door Intercom Stations with integrated chime options.
• Integrates with Channel Vision's DP & IU Series Front Door Intercoms — any room equipped with an Intercom Station is ready to communicate with and grant access to visitors (with the addition of a door strike module).
• 9 Door Intercom Finishes, 2 Sizes — the largest selection of 100% brass front door intercoms on the market.
• Pro Series Chassis Design — simple installation in structured wire enclosures, or in a rack with the Channel Vision Hinged Rack (P-1300).
