DoorBird door intercoms · Kansas City.

IntegrateIT carries and installs DoorBird across the Kansas City metro — IP video door stations for the front door and the gate that ring the touch panel and the phone, with keypad and fingerprint options for the door itself. One precision first, because the trade is sloppy about this word: DoorBird is a line we carry and install under distribution, not one we hold our own dealer agreement on, so we do not call ourselves an authorized DoorBird dealer. What we are is the people who look at the door, the wire behind the old doorbell and the lock it has to open, design the call path, and commission the station so it rings where you actually are. Phone: (913) 804-7575 or office@integrateit.tech.

What we carry and install from DoorBird

DoorBird presents its D22x Series as communication, access control and security in one unit, and lists HD video, a 180-degree Wide-Eye lens, a 4D Motion Sensor, RFID, PoE, SIP, an API, infrared night vision and an IP65 rating for it. Its shop sorts the range into door stations, indoor stations, access-control units and accessories. Model names below are DoorBird’s, as the shop lists them. We specify, install and commission to order.

• Single-family door stations. The shop lists models such as the D2201V and D1101V, offered with call buttons, with a keypad or with a fingerprint reader. This is the front-door and gate station for a house. For the doorbell side of the same question, see our video doorbell installation page.
• Multi-tenant and commercial stations. Models such as the D2202V and D2204V for entrances serving more than one household or tenant, and the D31TDV with a display, listed for multi-tenant and commercial use. Those sites go through our access control scope, because the door has to be opened as well as answered.
• Indoor stations. The A1101, A1103 and A1104T, with a table stand (A8003) and a wall mounting base (A8011). For a house without touch panels, the indoor station is where the call is answered.
• Keypad and fingerprint access units. The A1121 with a keypad and the A1122 with a fingerprint reader, each in surface-mount and flush-mount versions, and a retrofit version of the A1121.
• Door controllers and the chime. The Door Controller A1081 and the Smart Door Controller D410, which are the parts that switch the lock, the strike or the gate, and the IP Door Chime A1061W. Locks and gates are covered on our smart locks page.
• Accessories and housings. Surface-mount and flush-mount housings, call buttons, letterboxes, a Bluetooth keyfob remote and transponder key fobs, an IP Video Mini Dome Camera (A1131), and network parts such as a 2-wire PoE+ converter (A1072) and a Gigabit High-PoE injector (A1093).
• Control-system integrations. DoorBird’s integrations page lists Control4 and Crestron Home among the automation systems it works with, and says every IP video door station includes DoorBird Connect. It also offers an API and a built-in SIP module for systems it does not list. See Control4 for how we build that system.

How we put DoorBird into a door

An intercom is three jobs at once: a camera, a call and a lock. It fails at the weakest of the three, and the weakest is easy to miss before the station is ordered.

• The door first. Where the station goes and at what height, what the surface is made of, what the sun does to the lens at four in the afternoon, and where the old doorbell wire actually ends. The video doorbell page sets out how we read a door.
• Power and network. A DoorBird station is an IP device powered over Ethernet, and the shop lists a 2-wire PoE+ converter among its network parts. We check the existing wire before we say whether it can be reused, and the switch port and power budget are planned with the rest of the network rack.
• Ringing the right places. The touch panel, the phones, an indoor station or a SIP phone, set up so that the call reaches the person who is home. We test the call, the video and the speech from each place before handover.
• Opening something. The door controller switches a strike, a maglock or a gate-operator input, and we test it with the actual lock rather than a bench supply. Many gate operators expose a dry contact, which is all the controller needs.
• Documented. Station and controller models, network addresses, the account and API settings and the lock details go into your project record, so the next change starts from a list.

Where DoorBird sits beside the other lines we carry

We carry more than one intercom answer, so the recommendation can follow the building. Axis fits a commercial entrance, or a site already built on Axis cameras that wants one device catalogue. Ubiquiti UniFi is the proportionate choice when the building already runs UniFi and a small or medium door count wants one management console. Brivo belongs where several sites need one cloud access platform. DoorBird is the one to reach for at a house, where the front door should ring the touch panel and the phone.
