Why Choose the JO-1MDW?
The JO-1MDW is a strong choice for homes and small sites wanting a straightforward Aiphone video intercom monitor with modern app functionality. It gives users a large touchscreen indoor station, local call recording, and the ability to answer calls and trigger door release remotely from supported mobile devices. For customers who want the convenience of app access without moving to a full IP enterprise intercom platform, this is a practical middle-ground option within the JO Series. This is an analog answering station with Wi-Fi used to extend functionality through the mobile app, not a full network master station in the same sense as Aiphone’s IP ranges.

- Residential front door intercom systems
- Small offices
- Home entry monitoring
- Users wanting remote answering from smartphones or tablets
- JO Series upgrades where app capability is desired

What’s in the System / Compatibility Notes:
The JO-1MDW is part of the Aiphone JO Series and is intended for use within that system family. It also works with Aiphone’s Intercom App Type B to provide mobile device answering and remote door release functions. Aiphone also notes that if a normally closed dry contact or a larger relay contact is needed, the RY-18L should be used.
Installer Notes:
- This unit uses 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only, so it should be installed where stable 2.4GHz wireless coverage is available.
- For customers wanting larger relay handling or a normally closed output arrangement, Aiphone specifies the RY-18L relay accessory.
- A MicroSD card is not supplied, so extra recording capacity requires a separately sourced compatible card between 4GB and 32GB.
- Check compatibility with the rest of the JO Series devices before purchase if expanding an existing system.
