Grandstream GDS3726 IP Video Door Phone, Call Button, RFID/NFC, IP66 IK10

Overview

The Grandstream GDS3726 is a video door phone (IP video door station) with a single doorbell key, a 4 MP camera and a card reader in a metal housing. Visitors press the button to call; staff or residents enter by card, phone or QR code. It suits visitor entrances with steady traffic, such as apartment lobbies, office reception doors and campus gates, and the camera doubles as a security camera at the door.

Is it right for you?

• Choose it when visitors only need one button to call and entry is by card, phone or app. It has no keypad, so PIN entry at the door is not available: the GDS3725 covers that.
• If each visitor button should ring a different person, the GDS3726Q has four call keys in the same housing.
• The metal housing is rated IP66 and IK10, so it suits exposed and busy entrances. The compact GDS3727 suits sheltered doors where Wi-Fi matters more than impact resistance.
• Up to 5,000 users and 5,000 cards, so it covers an office block or residential building.
• Calls need a SIP server or an indoor station, and it runs from a PoE switch port or a DC supply.

Key features

• One illuminated doorbell key, easy for visitors to find at night.
• 1/3 in 4 MP camera with HDR, 1080p at 30 fps, 127° horizontal view and up to 120 dB wide dynamic range (WDR), so faces stay clear against bright light behind the visitor; 6 white fill-light LEDs with auto brightness.
• Reads 13.56 MHz IC cards (MIFARE Classic 1K/4K, Ultralight, Plus and DESFire) and 125 kHz ID cards, plus NFC, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.0 and QR codes.
• Two relay outputs (NO/COM/NC) rated 30 V DC/2 A, including an anti-magnetic solid state relay (SSR), for lock control and alarm linkage.
• 3 alarm inputs, a Wiegand port (26/34/58-bit) and RS-485 with OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol), so it can also feed a separate access controller.
• IP66 weather rating and IK10 impact rating on the metal surface, buttons and lens area; works from -30 to 60 °C.
• AI motion detection, loitering alarms, a PIR sensor with 3 to 5 m range and a tamper switch.
• 2 microphones and a 3 W speaker, a microSD slot up to 256 GB, and ONVIF Profile S so the camera can record to a video recorder.

What else you need

• Power: a PoE switch port (802.3af Class 3) or a 9 to 36 V DC supply, 12 W. Neither a PoE injector nor an adapter is listed in the box.
• Calls: a SIP server such as a Grandstream UCM (Unified Communications Manager), or direct IP peering with an indoor station such as the Grandstream GSC3570.
• An electric lock and a power supply for the lock. Both are separate.
• Cards and fobs: one MIFARE Classic EV1 card is listed in the package. For more users, order G-AC1 (MIFARE Classic EV1) or G-AD2 (MIFARE DESFire EV3) cards or fobs.
• Optional: the GDS372X flush-mounting box for a recessed finish, the GDS372X rain cover for exposed walls and the GDS37XX L-bracket for stud walls.

Installation

An access control or intercom installer should fit it. It surface mounts on the supplied bracket, or recesses into solid wall, drywall or a stud wall with the GDS372X flush-mounting box. The job involves running a network cable to a PoE port, wiring the lock to a relay, connecting any alarm inputs, and configuring the unit through its web interface. The unit measures 204 x 87 x 35.5 mm and weighs 1.55 kg.

Software and licences

• Managed from its local web interface, with GDS Manager software, or through GDMS (Grandstream Device Management System) UC and GDMS SecureAccess.
• The SecureAccess app handles Bluetooth and QR code entry and remote unlock on a phone.
• SIP, ONVIF Profile S, HTTP API and TR-069, with Home Assistant integration supported. No licence is listed.
