Commercial & Residential Video Intercom | Secondary Answering Monitor | Hands-Free Communication | Remote Door Release

The Aiphone JO-1FD Video Expansion Station is a professional-grade indoor video intercom monitor designed to expand compatible Aiphone JO Series systems with an additional answering location.

Featuring a 7-inch color TFT LCD display, capacitive touch buttons, and hands-free two-way audio, the JO-1FD allows users to view visitors, communicate with individuals at the entrance, monitor connected door cameras, and activate compatible electric door locks from a secondary location.

Designed for integration with the Aiphone JO-1MDW video master station, the JO-1FD provides additional convenience for commercial offices, reception areas, residential properties, and facilities requiring intercom access from multiple indoor locations.

Its slim white housing, intuitive touch-button controls, adjustable communication volume, and flexible wall or desktop mounting options make it an excellent addition to existing Aiphone JO Series video intercom systems.
