Fanvil i56A Touchscreen Android Indoor Doorphone

Fanvil i56A Touchscreen Android Indoor Doorphone

Answering the door shouldn’t mean walking to it first. The Fanvil i56A brings the door — or rather, a real-time view and voice connection to it — directly to a wall-mounted touchscreen anywhere inside a home, apartment, or office, letting residents and staff see who’s calling, speak with them, and release the door lock without ever leaving the room.

This is Fanvil’s Android-powered indoor SIP station, the natural indoor companion to Fanvil’s outdoor video intercoms, built for residential complexes, villas, and office buildings wanting genuine, real-time access control from inside the building.

A 10.1-Inch Color Touchscreen Running Android 9.0

At the heart of the i56A is a genuinely large 10.1-inch color capacitive touchscreen at 1280×800 resolution, running Android 9.0 for smooth, intuitive navigation. This isn’t a basic LCD intercom panel — it’s a full Android computing platform capable of supporting customization and secondary development for businesses needing to tailor the interface to specific industry or property requirements.

Real-Time Monitoring of Door Phones and Cameras

The i56A provides real-time monitoring directly from its touchscreen, letting residents or staff view the outdoor intercom camera feed and connected security cameras before deciding whether to answer, speak with a visitor, or remotely release the door — genuine visual verification rather than answering blind based on audio alone.

HD Voice With Dual Speakers and Echo Cancellation

Built-in 1W dual speakers paired with Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) deliver crisp, clear HD voice communication between the indoor station and the person at the door, ensuring conversations remain natural and audible even in echo-prone hallways or entryways.

Built-In Bluetooth 5.0 and Dual-Band Wi-Fi

With built-in Bluetooth 5.0 and dual-band 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi, the i56A offers genuine installation flexibility, connecting wirelessly where running Ethernet isn’t practical, while Bluetooth support extends compatibility to additional paired accessories.

Extensive Interface Support for Security System Integration

The i56A includes a pair of RS-485 interfaces, 8 alarm input interfaces, and 2 short-circuit output interfaces, giving the device genuine integration capability with existing alarm systems and other intelligent security devices rather than functioning as an isolated door communication tool. This makes the i56A a genuine hub for a property’s broader access control and security ecosystem, not just a standalone doorphone.

Micro USB and TF Card Support

Integrated Micro USB and TF card interfaces provide additional connectivity and local storage options, supporting firmware updates, data logging, or expanded functionality as a property’s security needs evolve.

Flexible Wall-Mounted or Desktop Installation

The i56A supports both wall-mounted installation and desktop use with an optional external desk stand, giving properties flexibility in how the indoor station gets deployed depending on room layout and resident preference.

Broad Platform Interoperability

Compatible with major platforms including 3CX, Avaya, Asterisk, Broadsoft, Metaswitch, and Elastix, the i56A integrates directly into whatever SIP infrastructure a property already runs, working seamlessly alongside Fanvil’s outdoor video intercoms like the i16SV for a complete, end-to-end access control communication system.

Remote Access Control From Anywhere in the Building

Beyond simple communication, the i56A enables genuine remote access control, letting residents or staff release door locks directly from the touchscreen without physically walking to the entrance — a meaningful convenience and security improvement for apartment complexes, villas, and office buildings alike.

The Practical Case for a Complete Indoor/Outdoor Intercom Pairing

For properties already deploying an outdoor video intercom like the Fanvil i16SV, the i56A completes the system, giving residents and staff a genuinely capable indoor interface for viewing, communicating with, and controlling access for visitors — rather than relying on a basic audio-only handset that offers none of the visual verification a video-capable system provides.

Perfect For

• Apartment complexes and residential buildings wanting genuine video-verified access control
• Villas and single-family homes upgrading from basic audio intercoms
• Office buildings needing indoor reception and access control for visitors
• Retail stores with multiple sites needing centralized security monitoring
• Properties already running Fanvil’s outdoor video intercom systems like the i16SV
• Businesses requiring integration with existing alarm systems via RS-485 or alarm inputs
