05.13.2008 — Russound's new ISK4 ComPoint Camera Door Station is a security camera that integrates with the company's ComPoint Intercom System, displaying the video on any TV or dedicated monitor in the house.

The low-light, weather-resistant camera is hidden behind a protective pane and at .05 Lux of sensitivity, the camera works in near total darkness.

The company says visitors can't see the security camera, and a wide range of camera adjustment allows clear visitor recognition from either side of the doorway.

"We all want to know who's at the door, but getting up to see isn't always desirable or possible," says Russound product manager Roger Soucy.

"Russound was one of the first companies to integrate security and intercom with multiroom entertainment through our ComPoint system, and the Camera Door Station is a great extension.

"Now it's easy to add video security monitoring into any installation, without detracting from the home's exterior with an unattractive camera."

The ISK4 can be flush mounted in a standard double-gang electrical work box and comes in antique brass or brushed chrome finishes.

It can be connected to the page video input of Russound's CAV6.6 Multiroom Controller, and it can also interface with third party video security devices with a standard NTSC composite video signal.

The ISK4 Camera Door Station works with the entire line of Russound ComPoint products.

Russound says it will ship the ISK4 Camera Door Station in June.
