Product Overview
Built for residential entry points and small commercial premises, the HiLook HA-KIT-IP1 pairs a 2MP outdoor door station with a 7-inch touch screen indoor monitor to create a complete IP video intercom solution. Both components support PoE and WiFi connectivity, reducing cabling complexity during installation and allowing flexible placement throughout the property. The indoor monitor operates as a Plug and Play unit with a straightforward interface, while the door station carries an IP65 weatherproof rating to handle direct outdoor exposure at front doors, gates, and building entries. Remote access is handled through a mobile app, allowing residents to receive video calls and trigger door releases from any location. The indoor monitor also supports live view from up to 16 connected IP cameras, extending its function beyond intercom use into a basic on-site monitoring terminal. Note that this kit has been discontinued and superseded by the HA-KIT-IP2.
Key Capabilities
7-Inch Touch Screen Indoor Monitor
The indoor station features a 7-inch touch screen display with a user-friendly interface, making day-to-day intercom operation accessible without specialist training. Its Plug and Play design reduces initial setup time during installation at residential or small commercial sites.
2MP Outdoor Door Station Imaging
The door station captures visitor footage at 2MP resolution, providing sufficient detail for identifying visitors at entry points. Its IP65-rated housing protects internal components against rain, dust, and general outdoor exposure at front doors, gates, and building facades.
Mobile App Remote Access
Residents and property managers can receive video calls from the door station and trigger door unlocks remotely through a mobile app. This is useful for managing deliveries, tradespeople, or entry events when occupants are away from the premises.
PoE and WiFi Dual Connectivity
Both the door station and the indoor monitor support PoE and WiFi, giving installers flexibility in how each unit is connected. Wired PoE delivers power and data over a single ethernet cable, while WiFi support reduces cabling demands where running cable is impractical.
Live View of Up to 16 IP Cameras
The indoor monitor can display live feeds from up to 16 connected IP cameras, allowing it to function as a basic on-site monitoring terminal in addition to its primary intercom role. This expands its value in small installations where a dedicated NVR screen is not available.
Best For
- Residential Front Door Entry: The door station’s IP65 rating and 2MP imaging make it a practical fit for single-dwelling front door installations where visitor identification and remote unlock are the primary requirements.
- Small Apartment or Unit Entry: The mobile app unlock feature supports multi-occupant properties where residents are frequently away and need to manage entry remotely.
- Small Business Shopfront or Office Entry: Web-based door station configuration and PoE connectivity suit commercial entry points where installation is managed by an IT-familiar staff member or integrator.
- Existing IP Camera Installations: Sites that already have IP cameras deployed can leverage the indoor monitor’s 16-camera live view capability to centralise monitoring without adding a separate display.
Why Choose the HA-KIT-IP1
The HA-KIT-IP1 brings together a door station and indoor monitor as a matched kit, removing the guesswork of pairing compatible intercom components. The door station’s IP65 weatherproof rating ensures it handles outdoor exposure at entry points without degradation, while the 7-inch touch screen monitor provides a visible, easy-to-use interface for household members. PoE and WiFi support on both units gives installers genuine flexibility, particularly in retrofit situations where running additional cabling is disruptive. The mobile app integration extends access management beyond the physical monitor, which is especially relevant for renters, Airbnb operators, or frequent travellers. Note that this kit is discontinued, and buyers should confirm stock availability or consider the replacement model. The HA-KIT-IP1 is part of the Security Wholesalers range of HiLook intercom products.

Buyer Decision Tips
Network Infrastructure Required: This kit does not include a PoE switch. You will need a PoE switch to connect both the door station and indoor monitor via ethernet. If you also want remote mobile app access, the PoE switch must be connected to your modem or router. Plan these components before purchase to avoid delays on installation day.
Discontinued Stock Consideration: The HA-KIT-IP1 has been officially discontinued. If you are specifying this product for a new installation, confirm current stock availability before committing. For ongoing or multi-site deployments, the replacement HA-KIT-IP2 is likely the more supportable long-term choice.

Ideal Use Cases
Residential Front Door
The IP65-rated door station handles rain and dust exposure at a main entry door, while the 7-inch indoor monitor gives household members a clear view of visitors and a straightforward interface for managing access.
Rental Property or Airbnb
Mobile app door unlock allows property owners to manage guest arrivals remotely without being on-site. Guests can be let in from a smartphone regardless of the owner’s location, removing the need for physical key handovers.
Small Office or Shopfront Entry
Web-based door station configuration and PoE connectivity make this kit a practical fit for a small commercial entry point managed by an owner-operator or IT-familiar staff member without requiring specialist commissioning tools.
IP Camera Monitoring Integration
Sites with existing IP camera deployments can connect up to 16 cameras to the indoor monitor for on-site live viewing, consolidating entry management and camera monitoring onto a single screen without adding separate hardware.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You have located remaining stock and need a straightforward IP video intercom kit with PoE and WiFi support, a 7-inch touch screen monitor, and mobile app remote unlock for a residential or small commercial entry point.
- Choose a different model if: You are specifying a new installation and require long-term product support, firmware updates, and parts availability. As this kit is discontinued, the replacement model is the better choice for any ongoing or future-proofed deployment.
- Choose a different model if: Your entry point requires multi-apartment or multi-tenant management with individual unit directories, as a basic kit format may not support the access logic required for larger residential buildings.
FAQs
- Does the HA-KIT-IP1 include a PoE switch?
No. The kit includes the outdoor door station and the indoor monitor only. You will need a separate PoE switch to connect both units via ethernet. If remote mobile access is required, the PoE switch must also be connected to your modem or router via ethernet cable.
- Can I unlock the door from my phone when I’m away from home?
Yes. The indoor monitor supports a mobile app through which you can receive video calls from the door station and trigger door unlocks remotely. This requires the PoE switch to be connected to your modem so the system has internet access.
- Is the door station weatherproof enough for outdoor installation?
The door station carries an IP65 rating, which means it is protected against low-pressure water jets and dust ingress. This is appropriate for outdoor mounting at front doors, covered entry porches, and building facades in typical Australian residential conditions.
- Can the indoor monitor display my existing IP security cameras?
Yes. The indoor monitor can show live feeds from up to 16 connected IP cameras. This allows it to double as a basic monitoring screen for sites that already have IP cameras installed on the same network, without requiring a separate NVR display.
- Is the HA-KIT-IP1 still available to buy?
This product has been officially discontinued. Limited stock may still be available through Security Wholesalers, but it is not a guaranteed ongoing supply item. For new installations, the HA-KIT-IP2 is the confirmed replacement and is the more supportable option for long-term use.
- Does the indoor monitor need to be connected via PoE, or can it run on WiFi only?
Both the indoor monitor and the door station support PoE and WiFi, so either connection method is valid. PoE is recommended for reliability and power delivery over a single cable, but WiFi connectivity provides an option where routing ethernet cable to the monitor location is not practical.
Cabling Considerations
- Cable Type: Cat5e or Cat6 ethernet cable is required for PoE connections between the door station, indoor monitor, and PoE switch.
- Maximum Cable Run: Standard PoE ethernet runs are rated to 100 metres per segment. Keep individual cable runs within this limit between each device and the PoE switch.
- PoE Considerations: Both the door station and indoor monitor are powered via PoE. Ensure the PoE switch has sufficient ports and power budget to supply both devices simultaneously.
- Wiring Layout: Run an ethernet cable from the door station to the PoE switch, and a separate ethernet cable from the indoor monitor to the PoE switch. For remote mobile app access, connect the PoE switch to your modem or router with a further ethernet cable.
- WiFi Alternative: Where running ethernet cable to the indoor monitor is not practical, the WiFi support on both units allows wireless connection to the local network, removing the need for a direct cable run to each device.
