7-Inch Touchscreen

The IX-MV7-HB features a large 7" touchscreen interface for controlling everyday intercom functions.

Operators can use the display for:

• Answering calls

• Selecting stations

• Viewing entrance cameras

• Monitoring stations

• Door release

• Paging

• Reviewing the station directory

• Selecting speed-dial functions

• Accessing system controls

The touchscreen format is especially useful at security, reception, and administrative desks where multiple stations may need to be managed.

Built-In Camera

The IX-MV7-HB includes its own camera, allowing supported two-way video communication between compatible stations.

A physical:

Privacy Shutter

is built into the station so the local camera can be covered when video transmission is not desired.

Hands-Free Communication

The answering station supports:

Full-Duplex Hands-Free Communication

allowing both parties to speak naturally without using a handset.

This is ideal for:

• Security desks

• Reception counters

• Offices

• Administrative workstations

• Dispatch locations

Privacy Handset

The IX-MV7-HB also includes a traditional handset for conversations that require additional privacy.

Handset mode provides:

Full-Duplex Communication

and allows the operator to communicate without broadcasting the conversation through the station speaker.

Push-to-Talk Mode

In high-noise environments, the station can also operate using:

Push-to-Talk / Simplex Communication

This can help provide clearer communication where background noise makes automatic full-duplex operation difficult.

8 Programmable Speed-Dial Buttons

The IX-MV7-HB provides:

8 Customizable Speed-Dial Buttons

These controls can be configured for functions such as:

• Call a station

• Page a station or group

• Monitor a station

• Activate a contact closure

This allows frequently used functions to be accessed without navigating through the full station directory.

500-Station Address Book

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

500 Stations

Stations can be selected through the directory or by direct dialing the assigned station number.

This makes the IX-MV7-HB suitable for both small commercial systems and large campus-style IP intercom installations.

Station Monitoring

The operator can select and monitor a compatible station directly from the IX-MV7-HB.

The station can also perform:

Scan Monitoring of Up to 500 Addressed Stations

according to the configured system and monitoring permissions.

This can be useful for:

• Security entrances

• Emergency stations

• Campus locations

• Parking areas

• Building entrances

Line Supervision

The IX-MV7-HB supports system supervision functions that help monitor the status of addressed devices.

This includes:

• Line supervision

• Scheduled device checks

These tools help security and facility personnel identify communication devices that may no longer be available on the network.

Video Entrance Monitoring

Compatible IX and IXG video door or entrance stations can be viewed directly from the 7" display.

Depending on the system configuration, operators can monitor entrances before or during communication.

Typical compatible station families include:

• IX video door stations

• IX emergency video stations

• IXG entrance stations

• Other compatible Aiphone IP video stations

Picture-in-Picture

The IX-MV7-HB supports Picture-in-Picture video.

This feature allows the operator to view:

• The Aiphone intercom camera

and:

• An associated ONVIF Profile S IP camera

at the same time.

This provides additional visual coverage of the entrance.

For example, an operator could view:

• Close-up video from the intercom station

• Wide-angle video from a nearby surveillance camera

simultaneously.

ONVIF Profile S Compatibility

The station is:

ONVIF Profile S Compliant

This allows integration with compatible network cameras and supported video-security systems.

Actual integration capabilities depend on the third-party device and system configuration.

SIP Compliance

The IX-MV7-HB is also:

SIP Compliant

This provides integration capabilities with compatible SIP communication platforms.

The exact features available through a third-party SIP system depend on:

• SIP server

• Network design

• System programming

• Third-party platform capabilities

Door Release

The IX-MV7-HB provides door-release control for the entrance associated with the active door-station communication.

Aiphone specifies:

2 Normally Open Dry Contact Outputs

rated:

24V AC/DC, 1A

These outputs can also be assigned for applicable programmable control functions.

Door-Release Applications

Compatible locking equipment may include:

• Electric strikes

• Access-control relays

• Gate interfaces

• External locking relays

Always verify the connected load against the station's contact rating.

Higher-current equipment should be controlled through an appropriately rated external relay.

Four Trigger Inputs

The IX-MV7-HB provides:

4 Programmable Trigger Inputs

These inputs can be incorporated into compatible system functions.

Possible applications can include:

• External push buttons

• Alarm inputs

• Security-system interfaces

• Auxiliary contact inputs

• Other dry-contact devices

Function is determined by station programming.

Paging

The IX-MV7-HB can provide paging to:

• Individual groups

• Selected station groups

• All applicable stations

This makes the unit useful for facilities requiring intercom and paging from the same workstation.

External Speaker Output

A built-in:

8Ω, 0.5W Speaker Output

can be used with compatible external speaker equipment to increase announcement coverage near the answering station.

The connected speaker must match Aiphone's specified impedance and load requirements.

600-Ohm Audio Input

The station also provides:

600Ω Audio Input

for compatible external audio integration.

This can support project-specific paging or audio-source applications when properly configured.

Bell Schedule

The IX-MV7-HB supports an internal bell schedule with up to:

50 Events Per Day

Scheduled events can be used in applications such as:

• Schools

• Industrial facilities

• Shift changes

• Break schedules

• Facility announcements

Actual bell and paging design depends on the complete IX / IXG configuration.

microSD Recording

Audio and video from active conversations can be recorded to a:

microSD Card

The card is:

Not Included

Recording capability provides additional documentation of applicable intercom activity directly at the answering station.

Storage capacity depends on the installed card and recording activity.

CAT-5e / CAT-6 Network Connection

The IX-MV7-HB connects to the IP network using:

• CAT-5e

• CAT-6

Maximum standard Ethernet distance between the station and network node:

330 ft / 100 m

Longer distances require appropriate network infrastructure such as additional switches or approved network-extension equipment.

PoE Power

The IX-MV7-HB is powered by:

IEEE 802.3af Class 0 PoE

Power draw:

4.32 Watts

This eliminates the need for a dedicated low-voltage power cable at the station when connected to a compatible PoE network switch or injector.

Network Protocols

The IX-MV7-HB supports network protocols including:

• IPv4

• IPv6

• TCP

• UDP

• SIP

• HTTP

• HTTPS

• RTSP

• RTP

• RTCP

• IGMP

• MLD

• SMTP

• DHCP

• NTP

• DNS

Aiphone also documents secure file-transfer functionality in current technical literature.

IEEE 802.1X

The station supports:

IEEE 802.1X Port Security

This provides authentication capability for managed enterprise networks that require device authentication before permitting network access.

Desktop Installation

A multi-angle desk stand is included.

Available desk positions:

• 30°

• 45°

• 60°

This allows the viewing angle to be adjusted for:

• Seated operators

• Standing counters

• Security consoles

• Reception desks

Wall Mounting

The IX-MV7-HB can also be wall mounted using the:

Included Wall-Mount Bracket

This is useful when desktop space is limited or the station needs to remain in a fixed location.
