Commercial IP Video Intercom Adaptor | JK Series Compatibility | PC-Based Communication | Ethernet Network Integration

The Aiphone JKW-IP Network Adaptor Kit is a network interface designed to connect compatible Aiphone JK Series video intercom systems to a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN), enabling computer-based visitor monitoring, two-way audio communication, and remote door-release functionality.

Designed for use with Aiphone JK-1MED and JK-1MD master stations, the JKW-IP allows authorized users to receive entrance calls, view visitors, communicate with individuals at connected door stations, and control compatible electric locking hardware through the Aiphone JKW-IP PC application.

Supporting up to 20 connected JK Series systems and 10 networked computers, the JKW-IP provides centralized communication capabilities for commercial offices, security desks, schools, institutional facilities, and multi-building applications.

Featuring four sensor inputs, one auxiliary contact output, Ethernet connectivity, and PC-based recording capabilities, the JKW-IP extends the functionality of existing JK Series video intercom installations.

The JKW-IP is particularly useful for maintaining or replacing equipment within existing Aiphone JK Series systems requiring legacy IP network connectivity.
