Grandstream GSC3560 Outdoor SIP Audio Intercom, 1 Button, IP66 IK10

Overview

The Grandstream GSC3560 is an outdoor help point or door intercom for a car park, station, school gate or building entrance where clear two-way speech and a door release matter more than video. A visitor presses its single button to call a phone or indoor station, two microphones with noise suppression carry their voice, and two relays can release a gate or door. It has no camera: the GSC3565 is the video version.

Is it right for you?

• Suits help points and call points in car parks, metro and highway stations, school gates, senior living communities and building entrances.
• Choose it when speech and door release are enough. If you want to see the visitor, choose the GSC3565 with its 4 MP camera and QR code unlock.
• It has no keypad, card reader or Bluetooth reader, so visitors cannot let themselves in with a PIN or card. For that, choose a GDS3720 series door station.
• Built for exposed places: IP66 and IK10 rated metal housing, tamper switch, and an operating range of -40 to 70 °C.

Key features

• Dual microphones with up to 6 m pickup, AI and classic noise suppression, and a 10 W speaker (90 dB for intercom, 100 dB for broadcast).
• Two relay outputs with NO, COM and NC contacts, each rated 30 V DC 2 A: a standard relay and an anti-magnetic solid state relay (SSR).
• Two alarm inputs, a differential line out for an external speaker or induction loop, and RS-485 (access control integration pending).
• Door release by SIP call, HTTP API or the Grandstream SecureAccess app.
• SIP paging, multicast paging and call waiting with priority override, with G.711, G.722, G.726-32 and G.729 codecs.
• Powered by PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Class 4) or 12 to 48 V DC at 2 A (24 W).
• IP66 and IK10 rated metal housing with a tamper switch; TF (microSD) slot for cards up to 256 GB.
• 200 x 120 x 40 mm, 0.732 kg.

What else you need

• Power: a PoE+ switch port or injector (802.3at Class 4), or a 12 to 48 V DC supply.
• A SIP server such as a Grandstream UCM (Unified Communications Manager) for calls, or direct calls to an indoor station.
• Something to answer it: SIP phones, a Grandstream GSC3570, GSC3574 or GSC3575 indoor station, or the Wave softphone app.
• The lock or gate release and its power supply: these are separate from the intercom.
• Only if you mount it on a pole: the GSC356X-PM pole-mount kit. Only if you want it flush in a wall: the GSC356X-FM flush-mount kit.

Installation

An access control or intercom installer should fit it. The metal wall bracket, fixings, ground wire and waterproof plug are in the box; earth the unit using the supplied ground wire. Pole and flush installs need the GSC356X-PM or GSC356X-FM kit. Run the network cable (PoE+) or DC power to the position, wire the lock to the right relay contacts (COM and NC for a fail-safe magnetic lock, COM and NO for a fail-secure strike), connect any alarm inputs or line out, then register it to the phone system or indoor station.

Software and licences

Managed through the local web UI, GDMS (Grandstream Device Management System) UC, GDMS SecureAccess and the SecureAccess app, with Home Assistant support.
