Video intercom DoorBird D1101KV Black — 1080p, telephoto lens, 140° horizontal, IR LED, IP65, IK08, Fast Ethernet

DoorBird D1101KV Black is a compact video intercom designed for secure door communication and monitoring. It captures and streams video in 1080p using a telephoto lens with a 140° horizontal field of view and integrated IR LEDs for reliable low-light performance. The unit is rated IP65 for weather resistance and IK08 for impact protection, and connects to a network via Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbit/s). It supports two-way audio and can control an electric door opener through a configurable relay. The station requires a 15 V AC adapter and has a maximum power consumption of 15 W.

Advantages

The DoorBird D1101KV combines full HD video, night vision and a telephoto lens to provide clear identification of visitors at the front door. Its IP65 and IK08 ratings make it suitable for outdoor installation in exposed locations. With PoE capability or Fast Ethernet connection, plus a configurable bistable relay, the device integrates with existing door openers and smart home systems while offering live audio and push-notification alerts to a smartphone via the DoorBird app.

Suitable for

• Residential front doors and apartment entrances
• Small commercial premises requiring visitor identification
• Homes where remote answer and two-way communication are needed
• Installations that require weatherproof and impact-resistant hardware

When it may not be suitable

This unit has a telephoto lens with a 140° horizontal viewing angle which is optimized for focused coverage of the entrance area rather than extremely wide panoramic views. Properties that require multi-camera wide coverage of large outdoor areas may need additional cameras. The D1101KV requires a 15 V AC adapter (or PoE where supported) and a wired network connection for full functionality; locations without network access or power options that meet these requirements may not be suitable.

How to use

Use the app to view live video in 1080p, speak with visitors, and review recorded events depending on your storage configuration.

What to consider before purchase

• Availability of a wired network connection (Fast Ethernet) or PoE infrastructure
• Power supply option: 15 V AC adapter required if PoE is not used
• Placement to ensure the telephoto 140° field of view covers the desired area
• Compatibility with existing door opener or smart home platform for relay control

Recommendations

Mount the unit at typical eye level for best identification, protect the connection points from direct weather exposure where possible, and test the relay operation with your door opener during installation. Regularly check firmware updates in the DoorBird app to maintain security and feature compatibility.
