SIM CARD SELECTION A SIM card is required for this product but not supplied by Videx. The GSM intercom can only accept a standard size SIM card (refer to the following SIM card size chart on page 5), both a micro-SIM and nano-SIM are not suitable. It is recommended to choose the SIM card which has the best coverage for the area in which the intercom panel will be installed.
Page 5
We would recommend using a GSM signal strength meter (not supplied by Videx) to survey the intended antenna location. Contact Videx for more information on where to purchase a tester.
DESCRIPTION A system comprises of an intercom panel, power supply, SIM card (SIM card not provided by Videx) and antenna. The intercom panel is part of the Videx 4000 series vandal resistant modular design allowing it to be customised to the installation requirements for example including coded access or including the correct number of call buttons (up to 24 call buttons).
