Dahua DHI-VTO4202FB-MK Black Backlit Keypad Module for Modular Video Intercom Door Stations, IP65 & IK07

Product SKU: DHI-VTO4202FB-MK

Product Overview

The Dahua DHI-VTO4202FB-MK is a black backlit keypad module designed to add physical numeric input to compatible VTO4202FB modular video intercom door stations. When supported and configured through the main door-station module, visitors can use the keypad to dial room numbers, while authorised users can enter configured passwords for door access. Its mechanical keys and backlighting make the controls easier to locate at apartment, office and shared-building entrances, including areas with limited ambient light. The module occupies one 100 × 100mm position and connects to neighbouring components through uplink and downlink ports within the modular assembly. Aluminium-alloy construction, IP65 ingress protection and IK07 impact resistance support properly installed outdoor applications. This is not a standalone access-control keypad or complete intercom station, so the main VTO module, lock interface, mounting enclosure and other required functions must be selected separately.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Apartment Entrances: Allows visitors to dial configured room numbers from a shared modular door station.
• Password-Based Access: Provides numeric input for supported password-unlock functions managed by the main VTO system.
• Office and Commercial Buildings: Suits entrances where several rooms or internal destinations must be called from one station.
• Low-Light Entry Areas: Backlit keys remain easier to identify when the surrounding entrance lighting is limited.
• VTO4202FB Modular Systems: Best used where the main door station, module arrangement and enclosure have already been planned.

Why Choose the DHI-VTO4202FB-MK

The DHI-VTO4202FB-MK is a practical choice when a modular entrance station needs flexible numeric input rather than relying only on dedicated call buttons. Visitors can dial configured room numbers, while authorised users can enter passwords where that access method has been enabled through the compatible main VTO. Its full-size backlit mechanical keypad is easier to operate in dim conditions and provides tactile feedback that a flat information panel cannot offer. The module also shares power and communication through the modular cascade, avoiding a separate power supply at the keypad position. Available through Security Wholesalers, it should be selected only after confirming the main VTO model, module order, lock-control requirements and mounting enclosure, as it does not operate independently.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose this model if: A compatible black modular door station needs room-number or password input.
• Choose a call-button module if: Visitors only need one or more dedicated destinations without entering numbers.
• Choose a card-reader module if: Credential-based access is preferred instead of password entry.
• Choose a standalone keypad if: The project does not include a compatible modular video intercom door station.
• Confirm the enclosure first if: The current panel or mounting box does not have an unused 100 × 100mm module position.

FAQs

1. What does the Dahua DHI-VTO4202FB-MK keypad module do?
   The DHI-VTO4202FB-MK adds a physical backlit keypad to a compatible Dahua modular video intercom door station. When supported and configured by the main VTO system, it can be used for numeric entry such as dialling room numbers and password-based access. It is not a complete door station, so the camera, calling, lock-control and network functions must come from compatible modules in the finished assembly.
2. Can the DHI-VTO4202FB-MK unlock a door with a password?
   Yes, password-based unlocking is supported within a correctly configured compatible modular VTO system. The keypad provides the physical numeric input, while the main door-station module manages users, access settings and lock control. The keypad does not operate a lock independently. Confirm that the selected main VTO, firmware, lock interface and system configuration support the required password workflow before installation.
3. Can visitors use the keypad to call an apartment or room?
   Yes, compatible modular VTO systems can use the keypad to dial a configured room number and start a call. The room directory, numbering structure and call destination must be programmed through the main door-station system. This makes the module useful at apartment, office and shared-building entrances where visitors need to enter a destination rather than use one dedicated call button.
4. Does the VTO4202FB-MK work as a standalone access-control keypad?
   No. The DHI-VTO4202FB-MK is an expansion module and does not provide standalone network, relay or lock-control operation. It receives power and communicates through the compatible modular door-station chain. A suitable main VTO module and properly configured access system are required. Choose a dedicated standalone keypad instead when the project does not include a compatible Dahua modular video intercom platform.
5. How is the keypad connected and powered?
   The keypad has IN and OUT connections for uplink and downlink within the modular assembly. It receives 5V DC from another compatible module and can pass 5V DC to the next supported module. Its maximum power consumption is 0.5W. The module should follow the approved cascade order and should not be connected directly to mains power or treated as an independent network device.
6. Can the DHI-VTO4202FB-MK be installed outdoors?
   Yes. The keypad is rated IP65 and IK07 and operates from -30°C to +60°C at 10%–90% relative humidity. Silicone sealant is required during installation to achieve the stated IP65 protection. Outdoor performance also depends on using the correct panel or enclosure, sealing cable entries and following the installation requirements for the complete modular door station.
7. Can the keypad be flush mounted or surface mounted?
   Yes. The DHI-VTO4202FB-MK supports both flush-mounted and surface-mounted installation when used with the appropriate compatible panel, box or rain-cover arrangement. The 100 × 100mm module occupies one full module position, so the enclosure must be selected after the total number and layout of modules are known. Wall preparation and projection from the surface differ between the two mounting methods.
8. How do I confirm that the VTO4202FB-MK is compatible with my intercom?
   Confirm that the main door station belongs to the compatible VTO4202FB modular family, then check the module count, cascade layout, mounting style and intended password or room-dialling functions. When ordering through Security Wholesalers, provide the full main VTO model and planned module arrangement so the keypad, panel and enclosure can be checked together before installation.
