Video Door Station Commax DRC-8MLFD/RFID — 8-Unit FHD 1080p with RFID

Commax DRC-8MLFD/RFID — 8-Unit FHD 1080p with RFID is a multi-tenant video door station designed for apartment blocks and small commercial entrances. It integrates a Full HD 1080p camera, two-way audio, and an RFID reader to allow visual visitor identification and secure entry control for up to eight units. The unit is intended for wall- or surface-mounted installation at a shared entrance where clear video monitoring and streamlined access management are required.

Advantages

The device provides Full HD 1080p video for clear identification of visitors in varied lighting conditions and supports two-way communication between the entrance and resident handsets. Integrated RFID access enables keyless entry with compatible tags or cards, reducing the need for mechanical keys. Designed for multi-unit installations, the station supports addressing and call routing to up to eight indoor stations, simplifying management in residential or small commercial buildings.

Suitable for

• Multi-apartment residential buildings with up to eight units
• Small commercial properties or offices requiring controlled access
• Entrances where visual confirmation of visitors is needed
• Installations where RFID-based keyless entry is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This door station is intended for up to eight units; larger apartment complexes that require support for more tenants will need a system with higher capacity or multiple stations. It does not replace a full access control system with advanced enterprise features such as centralized user management across multiple buildings or integrations with complex security platforms.

Key specifications

• Video resolution: Full HD 1080p
• Number of supported units: up to 8
• Access method: integrated RFID reader for tags/cards
• Audio: two-way voice communication
• Mounting: surface or wall-mounted installation
• Suitable environment: outdoor entrance installation with weather protection (unit designed for external use)

How to use

Install the station at the main entrance according to local electrical and mounting requirements, ensuring proper cable connections to the associated indoor intercom units and power supply. Register RFID tags or cards to the station following the manufacturer's programming procedure to enable keyless entry. When a visitor presses a call button, the corresponding indoor unit is alerted and the resident can view the Full HD video feed and speak with the visitor before granting access remotely. Routine checks of camera cleanliness and RFID functionality help maintain reliable operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the number of units in the building does not exceed eight per station
• Verify compatibility of existing indoor intercom units or required wiring infrastructure
• Check local mounting environment and weather protection needs for outdoor installation
• Plan for power supply and any required auxiliary equipment (power adapter, mounting backbox)

Usage recommendations

Position the station at a height and angle that gives an unobstructed view of visitors’ faces. Use labeled RFID tags or cards for residents to simplify access management and maintain an inventory of issued credentials. Schedule periodic maintenance to clean the camera lens and test RFID reads to ensure consistent image quality and entry response.
