7-Inch Touchscreen

The IX-MV7-B features a large 7" color touchscreen that provides an intuitive interface for everyday intercom and security functions.

The touchscreen can be used for:

• Answering incoming calls

• Calling other stations

• Viewing entrance cameras

• Monitoring stations

• Selecting stations from the directory

• Door release

• Paging

• Speed-dial functions

• Reviewing system information

This makes the IX-MV7-B well suited for security, reception, administrative, and property-management workstations.

Built-In Camera

The IX-MV7-B includes a built-in:

1/3" CMOS Camera

A physical privacy shutter is located on the station to cover the camera when local video transmission is not desired.

This allows compatible IX / IXG stations to provide two-way video communication while maintaining user privacy when required.

Camera Privacy Shutter

The integrated privacy shutter provides a physical method of blocking the IX-MV7-B camera.

This is particularly useful at:

• Reception desks

• Administrative offices

• Security desks

• Private offices

• Healthcare environments

where the local operator may not always want the answering-station camera active.

Hands-Free Communication

The IX-MV7-B provides:

Full-Duplex Hands-Free Communication

This allows both parties to speak naturally at the same time through the station's built-in microphone and speaker.

No handset is required.

Push-to-Talk Mode

The station also supports:

Push-to-Talk Simplex Communication

This mode can be useful in noisy environments where manually controlling the transmit direction improves communication clarity.

No Handset

The IX-MV7-B is the hands-free version of Aiphone's 7" IX answering station.

It does not include a handset.

For applications requiring private handset communication, consider:

• IX-MV7-HB – Black Station with Handset

• IX-MV7-HB-L – Black Station with T-Coil Supported Handset

• IX-MV7-HW-JP – White TAA-Compliant Station with Handset

8 Programmable Speed-Dial Buttons

The IX-MV7-B provides:

8 Customizable Speed-Dial Buttons

These can be programmed for frequently used functions such as:

• Call a station

• Page a station or group

• Monitor a station

• Activate a contact closure

This gives security or reception personnel fast access to commonly used functions.

500-Station Address Book

The IX-MV7-B supports an address book containing up to:

500 Stations

Operators can locate stations through the directory or direct-dial an assigned station number.

This allows the IX-MV7-B to scale from small commercial systems to large campus-style installations.

Station Monitoring

The IX-MV7-B can monitor an individual compatible station.

Possible monitored locations include:

• Building entrances

• Emergency stations

• Parking facilities

• Security gates

• Campus locations

• Other IX / IXG stations

Available audio and video depend on the station being monitored.

Scan Monitoring

The IX-MV7-B can also scan monitor up to:

500 Addressed Stations

This allows an operator to cycle through selected stations for security or facility monitoring.

Line Supervision

The station supports:

Line Supervision

to help determine whether addressed IX / IXG devices remain available on the network.

This can help identify:

• Disconnected stations

• Network failures

• Powered-down devices

• Communication problems

Scheduled Device Checks

The IX-MV7-B also supports scheduled checks of addressed devices.

This allows the system to periodically verify whether configured stations are responsive.

Picture-in-Picture

The IX-MV7-B supports:

Picture-in-Picture – PIP

This allows the operator to simultaneously view:

• Video from an Aiphone intercom station

and:

• Video from an associated compatible ONVIF Profile S camera

For example, a security operator could see a visitor close-up from the intercom while also viewing a wider surveillance-camera image of the entrance.

ONVIF Profile S

The IX-MV7-B is:

ONVIF Profile S Compliant

This provides integration with compatible third-party IP cameras and video-security systems.

Actual integration functionality depends on the connected third-party equipment.

SIP Compliance

The answering station is:

SIP Compliant

This provides integration possibilities with compatible:

• SIP servers

• IP PBX systems

• VoIP platforms

• Third-party communication systems

Available functionality depends on the SIP system and network configuration.

Entrance Door Release

The IX-MV7-B can release the entrance associated with an active door-station call.

Aiphone provides:

2 Programmable Normally Open Dry Contact Outputs

rated:

24V AC/DC, 1A

These contacts can be used for applicable door-control or auxiliary functions.

Locking Hardware

Compatible applications may include:

• Electric strikes

• Magnetic-lock relays

• Gate-control relays

• Access-control interfaces

Always verify the electrical load of the connected equipment.

Loads exceeding the station's contact rating should be controlled through an appropriately rated external relay.

Four Trigger Inputs

The IX-MV7-B provides:

4 Programmable Trigger Inputs

These inputs can be connected to compatible dry-contact devices for functions determined by system programming.

Possible uses include:

• External call button

• Alarm input

• Security-system interface

• Auxiliary control switch

• Other building-system inputs

Paging

The IX-MV7-B supports paging to:

• Individual groups

• Selected station groups

• All applicable stations

This allows the answering station to serve as both an intercom master and facility communication point.

Bell Schedule

The IX-MV7-B supports a bell schedule of up to:

50 Events Per Day

This can be useful in:

• Schools

• Manufacturing facilities

• Warehouses

• Corporate campuses

• Shift-based facilities

for scheduled tones or announcements.

microSD Recording

The station can capture and store:

• Audio

• Video

from active conversations on a compatible:

microSD Card

The card is:

Not Included

Available recording capacity depends on the card capacity and amount of intercom activity.

3.5mm Stereo Mini Jack

The IX-MV7-B includes a:

3.5mm Stereo Mini Jack

for applicable headset or audio applications supported by the station.

This can be useful in environments where the operator needs more focused audio without a built-in handset.

External Speaker Output

The station provides:

8Ω, 0.5W Speaker Output

for a compatible external speaker.

This can improve local call or paging audio coverage around the answering station.

600-Ohm Audio Input

The IX-MV7-B also provides:

600Ω Audio Input

for compatible external audio integration.

The exact application depends on the complete IX / IXG system design.

PoE Power

The IX-MV7-B receives power through:

IEEE 802.3af Class 0 PoE

Maximum published power draw:

4.32 Watts

This allows both communication and station power to use the same Ethernet cable.

CAT-5e / CAT-6 Wiring

The IX-MV7-B connects to the network using:

• CAT-5e

• CAT-6

Maximum standard Ethernet distance:

330 ft / 100 m

between the station and Ethernet network node.

Longer distances require suitable network-extension infrastructure.

Network Interface

Network interface:

10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX Ethernet

Connection:

RJ45

The IX-MV7-B operates as a network endpoint rather than using a proprietary hardwired intercom bus.

Supported Network Protocols

Aiphone documents protocols including:

• IPv4

• IPv6

• TCP

• UDP

• SIP

• HTTP

• HTTPS

• RTSP

• RTP

• RTCP

• IGMP

• MLD

• SMTP

• SFTP

• DHCP

• NTP

• DNS

IEEE 802.1X

The station supports:

IEEE 802.1X Port Security

This allows compatible managed networks to authenticate the intercom station before granting network access.

This can be especially valuable in:

• Government facilities

• Healthcare facilities

• Schools

• Corporate networks

• Higher-security environments

Desktop Installation

A multi-angle desk stand is included.

Available positions:

• 30°

• 45°

• 60°

This allows the station to be adjusted for different counter heights and viewing positions.

Wall Mounting

The IX-MV7-B can also be mounted to the wall with the:

Included Wall-Mount Bracket

This provides a compact fixed installation when desk or counter space is limited.

Compact Handset-Free Design

Without a handset, the IX-MV7-B measures only:

6-3/4" H × 8-11/16" W × 1-1/4" D

This makes it substantially more compact than the IX-MV7-HB handset model.
