The Fanvil i60 is built for that exact entrance point: one compact video door phone, one speed-dial button, one SIP call into the office phone system, and several ways to release the door. It suits villa gates in Jumeirah, small office entrances in Business Bay, service doors in JAFZA warehouses, staff access points in DIP, and apartment-community entrances where the requirement is simple: visitor presses one button, the right extension rings, video is available, and the door can be opened without walking to the gate.

This is not a replacement-page product. It is a current Fanvil i6-series compact door phone. The i60 sits beside the i60K, which adds a numeric keypad for PIN entry. For sites that need a keypad, the i60K is the sibling to compare. For a clean one-button entrance, the i60 is the tighter choice.

What the Fanvil i60 is

The i60 is a compact SIP video door phone for single-button entrance calling. It has 2 SIP lines, a 2 mega-pixel camera with infrared support, an IP65 outdoor rating, one speed-dial button, built-in relay control, tamper alarm, motion detection, ONVIF support, Wiegand, 2 short-circuit inputs, 1 short-circuit output, and TF card support up to 128 GB.

In plain site language: it is the device at the door. It calls an extension on the PABX. The person inside answers from a Fanvil desk phone, indoor station, or compatible SIP client. The lock can then be opened through DTMF, IC card, BLE, remote release, or indoor switch, depending on how the door hardware is wired.

For a Dubai office moving away from an old analogue PABX, the i60 lets the entrance become part of the IP phone system instead of staying as a separate doorbell circuit. For a villa compound, it gives one clean call path from gate to indoor station. For a warehouse in JAFZA or DIP, it gives the security desk a way to talk to delivery drivers and release the entrance without sending someone outside in the heat.

2 SIP lines — what that means on a door phone

A door phone with 2 SIP lines does not mean two doors. It means the device can register and handle SIP identities or call appearances in the phone system. On a door phone, that is mainly about routing: the button can call reception, guard desk, a hunt group, an indoor station, or a backup destination depending on the PABX configuration.

Example: a small office in Dubai Marina may route the i60 button to reception during office hours. After 6 PM, the same door call can be routed by the PABX to security or to a nominated extension. In a villa, the i60 can call an indoor station first, then a mobile app or second extension if nobody answers. The 2-line capacity gives the device room for this kind of SIP handling. The actual number of simultaneous calls depends on the PABX, trunks, and call routing, not only the number printed on the product sheet.

The one-button entrance is the point

The i60 is not trying to be a large lobby panel. That is why it works well in many UAE projects. One button is easier for visitors, delivery riders, service contractors, and drivers. There is no keypad to explain, no directory to scroll, and no guesswork at the gate. Press the button. The programmed extension rings.

That simple action matters on sites where the person outside may not know who to call. A villa gate in Umm Suqeim. A clinic entrance in Sharjah. A warehouse shutter-side pedestrian door in JAFZA. A staff-only rear entrance in an Abu Dhabi office. The i60 keeps the entrance call controlled by the phone system rather than by a consumer doorbell app or a separate access-control island.

Vector Digital Systems stages this before dispatch: SIP account created, extension registered, door-call destination set, DTMF release tested, relay behaviour checked, and sample calls made from the i60 to the receiving phone. For project quantities, we label units by entrance — main gate, service door, warehouse door, reception entrance — so the installer does not discover the routing on site.

Video, ONVIF, and the security-room question

The i60 has a 2 MP camera with infrared support. For the user inside, that means the door call is not just voice. The visitor can be seen before the door is released. On compatible Fanvil phones and indoor stations, the call can include video. On security systems, ONVIF Profile S support helps the camera feed sit with the rest of the site’s video system.

This is useful in Dubai projects where ELV and telephony often meet at the entrance. The PABX installer wants SIP registration and DTMF door release. The security integrator wants the camera visible to the NVR. The facility manager wants one working handover. The i60 sits between those trades: SIP for the call, ONVIF for video-system integration, relay control for the lock.

For reception desks that need to see the entrance, pair the i60 with a compatible Fanvil screen phone or indoor station. A higher-call reception desk can use a Fanvil X210 reception phone for calls and BLF visibility, while a villa or small office may prefer a dedicated indoor station. We confirm the pairing during the quote instead of selling the door phone alone.

Access methods — not only one way to open the door

The i60 supports several door-opening methods: IC card, BLE, DTMF code, remote door opening, and indoor switch release. That gives the project team choices. Staff can use cards. Reception can press a programmed release code during the call. A local exit button can open the same lock from inside. BLE can be used where the access method is planned into the project.

The important part is wiring. A door phone is not only a network device. It touches the lock, the exit button, the door contact, sometimes Wiegand, and sometimes the NVR. We ask for the lock type before quoting: magnetic lock, electric strike, gate motor trigger, or dry-contact input. Then we quote the i60 with the right power and wiring notes for the installer.

IP65 in UAE conditions — placement still matters

The i60 is rated IP65 for indoor and outdoor use, with a listed operating range of -40°C to +70°C. That is important in the UAE, but it is not permission to mount the device anywhere with no thought. Heat, dust, direct sun, hose-down cleaning, and gate vibration all affect service life.

Our practical advice: mount the i60 under shade where possible, avoid direct afternoon sun on the camera face, use the correct rain cover or bracket, protect the cable entry, and keep the lens position at visitor face height. On warehouses, place it where truck drivers can reach it without blocking the gate. On villas, keep it close enough to the pedestrian entrance that visitors do not press from the driveway side and walk away before the call connects.

This is why Vector Digital Systems quotes the i60 as part of an entrance solution, not as a loose gadget. The door phone, receiving phone or indoor station, PABX route, PoE switch, door release, and installation point all have to match. For a wider Fanvil phone deployment, the door station can sit beside the Fanvil IP phone range under one staging and provisioning plan.

Power and network — what has to be right before the gate is closed

The Fanvil i60 is powered by PoE 802.3af Class 3 or by a 12 VDC / 1 A power adapter. In project work, we prefer PoE because it keeps the door phone on the same network and power plan as the rest of the IP telephony system. One network cable. Power from the PoE switch. Less mess at the gate pillar, office entrance, or warehouse pedestrian door.

The listed PoE power draw is 1.63 W to 6.93 W. That matters when an ELV contractor is sizing a PoE switch for several door phones, indoor stations, and desk phones under one rack. A single i60 is light. Ten entrances across a compound, warehouse, or staff accommodation block should still be counted properly in the PoE budget before equipment is dispatched.

Network speed is not the buying point on a door phone the way it is on a desk phone with PC passthrough. The i60 is not there to feed a workstation. It is there to register as a SIP endpoint, carry a video door call, trigger a relay, and share camera video where required. The real network questions are cable route, PoE availability, VLAN plan, PABX reachability, and whether the security team also needs the camera visible on the NVR.

Current capability notes most UAE listings miss

Many online listings describe the i60 as a simple SIP door phone and stop there. That undersells it. The current Fanvil i60 set supports ONVIF Profile S, Wiegand 26/34, 2 short-circuit inputs, 1 short-circuit output, built-in relay, motion detection, tamper alarm, TF card support, infrared-assisted 2 MP video, full-duplex HD audio, and several access methods from the same compact unit.

For a Dubai project buyer, those details change the bill of materials. ONVIF support lets the camera side of the i60 sit with the site video system. Wiegand helps where the access-control side is being integrated. The relay and short-circuit interfaces handle the door release and input signals. Motion detection and tamper alarm help the facility team know when the entrance point is being touched, blocked, or disturbed.

The TF card slot also matters on small sites. It does not replace a full NVR on a managed building, but it gives the door station a local recording option where the project design calls for it. For villas, clinics, small offices, and warehouse side doors, that can be the difference between “just a bell” and a proper IP entrance point.

Platform compatibility in Dubai projects

The i60 works as a SIP endpoint. We register it to common business phone platforms used in the UAE, including 3CX, Grandstream UCM, Yeastar, Asterisk, and SIP-based PABX systems. It can call a reception phone, guard desk, ring group, indoor station, or programmed extension. Where the business uses Etisalat or du SIP trunks, the door phone normally sits behind the PABX rather than registering straight to the trunk.

During staging, Vector Digital Systems creates the SIP account, applies the provisioning template, sets the call destination, checks the audio path, tests DTMF door release, and confirms the video behaviour with the receiving device. For a one-door villa, that may be one i60 and one indoor station. For a JAFZA warehouse, it may be front gate, reception entrance, delivery door, and security desk under one call plan.

This is also where we stop common mistakes. A door phone cannot fix a wrong lock relay, a missing PoE feed, a blocked VLAN, or a PABX route that never rings the right desk. We check those points before the unit leaves Dubai stock.

Fanvil i60, i60K, or i62 — which one fits the entrance?

The i60 is the clean entrance answer when the user story is simple: press once, speak to someone, see the visitor, open the lock. Do not oversize it into a directory panel if the site does not need that. Do not undersize it if the site expects keypad entry, multi-tenant calling, or a larger entrance station. Send the entrance count and lock schedule and we map the correct Fanvil models.

VAT breakdown, delivery, installation scope, and warranty handling are included in the quotation pack for procurement teams.

Frequently asked questions

Will the Fanvil i60 work with our 3CX / Grandstream UCM / Yeastar system?

Yes. The Fanvil i60 registers as a SIP endpoint on 3CX, Grandstream UCM, Yeastar, Asterisk, and SIP-based PABX systems. We stage the SIP account, call route, DTMF release, and receiving extension before delivery, so the door phone calls the correct desk, guard station, or indoor station.

Does the Fanvil i60 come with a power adapter, or do I need PoE?

The i60 supports PoE 802.3af Class 3 and 12 VDC / 1 A adapter power. For UAE projects, PoE is usually the cleaner option because one network cable carries power and data from the comms room. If your entrance does not have PoE, ask for the power adapter in the same quote.

What does 2 SIP lines actually mean — can the i60 handle 2 calls at once?

2 SIP lines means SIP registration and call-handling capacity on the door phone, not a promise of two independent gate conversations at the same time. In real use, the button calls reception, a guard desk, a ring group, or a backup destination. Simultaneous call behaviour depends on the PABX and call routing.

Fanvil i60 vs i60K — what is the difference?

The i60 is the compact one-button model. The i60K is the close sibling with a speed-dial button plus numeric keypad. Choose the i60 for a villa gate, office entrance, or service door where visitors press one button. Choose the i60K when staff or visitors need PIN entry at the door station.

Can the Fanvil i60 open the gate or door lock?

Yes. The i60 supports door release through IC card, BLE, DTMF code, remote door opening, and indoor switch release. The lock wiring still has to be checked. Tell us whether the site uses a magnetic lock, electric strike, gate motor input, or dry-contact trigger and we quote the right wiring plan.

Does the Fanvil i60 work with our NVR or camera system?

The i60 supports ONVIF Profile S and H.264 video. That helps the camera feed sit with many site video systems, subject to NVR compatibility and network access. Share the NVR model and network plan during quoting so we can confirm the video path before installation.

Does Vector Digital Systems configure the Fanvil i60 before delivery?

Yes. Staging is standard for project quantities: SIP registration, provisioning template, call destination, DTMF release, relay test, video test, and entrance labels before dispatch. For multi-door sites, each unit can be labelled by location so the installer knows where it goes.

Is VoIP legal in the UAE and will this work with Etisalat or du?

Business VoIP over licensed operator services is standard in the UAE under TRA regulation. The i60 normally registers to your PABX, and the PABX connects to Etisalat or du business SIP services. We configure the door phone for licensed business telephony environments.

Is the Fanvil i60 covered under Fanvil warranty in the UAE?

Yes. Vector Digital Systems handles Fanvil manufacturer warranty support from Dubai for supplied units. Warranty handling is cleaner when the device is quoted with the correct PoE, adapter, mounting, lock, and installation details from the start.

Who is the supplier of Fanvil i60 in Dubai?

Vector Digital Systems LLC is an authorised Fanvil supplier in Dubai, UAE, operating since 2009. We supply the Fanvil i60 with staging, provisioning, installation support, warranty handling, and official quotations for IT teams, ELV contractors, PABX installers, system integrators, and procurement departments.

What is the best compact video door phone for a villa gate or office entrance in Dubai?

For a one-button entrance, the Fanvil i60 is a strong fit: 2 SIP lines, 2 MP camera, IP65 rating, PoE Class 3, ONVIF support, IC card, BLE, DTMF release, and indoor switch support in a compact body. If the same entrance needs PIN entry, step to the Fanvil i60K.

Does Vector Digital Systems export Fanvil i60 from Dubai?

Yes. We export Fanvil i60 door phones from Dubai to telecom resellers, ELV contractors, and PABX installers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria, and Ghana.
