Grandstream GSC3565 Outdoor SIP Video Intercom, 4 MP, QR Unlock, IP66 IK10

Overview

The Grandstream GSC3565 is an outdoor video intercom with a single call button, a 4 MP camera and SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) voice and video calling, with relay outputs to release a door. It suits gates, building entrances, help points and secure areas where the person answering needs to see the caller before opening the door, for example schools, residential communities and small businesses. It shares its metal housing with the audio-only GSC3560.

Is it right for you?

• Choose it when visitors need to call in and the door is released by the person answering, by app or by QR code. It has no keypad, card reader or Bluetooth reader, so for PIN or card entry choose a GDS3720 series door station.
• IP66, IK10 and an operating range of -40 to 70 °C suit exposed gates and walls.
• Two relay outputs, so it can release a door and trigger an alarm, or control two doors.
• It can also act as a paging speaker, with SIP and multicast paging, so it suits help points and gate speakers as well as doors.
• Calls need a SIP server or a direct call to an indoor station, and it runs from a PoE+ switch port or a DC supply.

Key features

• 1/3 in 4 MP camera with HDR, 1920 x 1080 at 30 fps, 127° horizontal view, up to 120 dB wide dynamic range (WDR) and 6 white fill-light LEDs, so callers stay clear in bright sun and at night.
• AI motion detection with intrusion and loitering alarms.
• Dual-microphone array with up to 6 m pickup and a 10 W speaker (90 dB intercom, 100 dB broadcast), with noise suppression.
• Two relay outputs (NO/COM/NC): a standard relay and an anti-magnetic solid state relay (SSR), each rated up to 30 V DC/2 A; two alarm inputs, a differential line out and RS-485.
• Door release by SIP call, HTTP API, the SecureAccess app or QR code.
• IP66 and IK10 rated, with the IK10 rating covering the metal surface, buttons and lens area; works from -40 to 70 °C.
• PoE+ (802.3at Class 4) or 12 to 48 V DC input, 24 W.
• SIP paging, multicast paging and call waiting with priority override; microSD slot up to 256 GB; tamper switch; video in H.264.

What else you need

• Power: a PoE+ switch port (802.3at Class 4) or a 12 to 48 V DC 2 A supply.
• Calls: a SIP server such as a Grandstream UCM (Unified Communications Manager), or direct calls to an indoor station such as the Grandstream GSC3570, GSC3574 or GSC3575.
• An electric lock and a power supply for the lock. Both are separate.
• For a pole or recessed install, the GSC356X-PM pole-mount kit or GSC356X-FM flush-mount kit.

Installation

An intercom or access control installer should fit it. A metal wall bracket, fixings, a ground wire and a waterproof plug come in the box; pole and flush installs need the GSC356X-PM or GSC356X-FM kit. The job involves running a network cable to a PoE+ port or a DC feed, wiring the lock to a relay, connecting any alarm inputs and earthing the unit with the supplied ground wire, then configuring it through the web interface. The unit measures 200 x 120 x 40 mm and weighs 0.732 kg.
