So, what devices make up a Selous Doorbell system?
At a Glance
| Doorbell |
One Selous Video Doorbell |
| Monitor |
Up to Four Muse monitors |
| Power Supply |
One Model 4001 Power Supply Unit |
| Other |
One Model 4110S monitor hub if you have more than one monitor |
The basic system is the doorbell- the device at your front door which houses the video camera- and a power supply unit. The Selous video doorbell is a seriously robust, quite large doorbell camera which suits larger properties, and ones which require a tough doorbell which can put up with some abuse. A 3mm stainless steel fascia will definitely give you that.
The Selous video doorbell has a built-in proximity reader which means you don't need a door key- just scan your key fob or entry card across the doorbell and the electric lock will open. Is this secure? That depends mainly on the electric lock. If you need high-level security, get a serious electric lock. Do I have to use the proximity reader function? No, if you just want to use the doorbell without the proximity reader, do not wire it up to a lock.
To complete the system, you now select between one and four monitor devices, so you can view the images coming from the video doorbell. This system offers the Muse monitor. If you buy more than one Muse monitor, you will automatically recieve a distributor hub, Model 4110S. Rounding out your Selous Doorbell system you will receive a power supply, Model 4001 which can power up to four monitors.
Selous video doorbell
Almost everyone who sees the video output from this particular camera mention the superb depth and clarity of the picture. It really is outstanding.
The doorbell unit also has a voice enunciation function, giving a kind of audible report of what it is doing at that moment.
The camera itself is adjustable, so if you have a large doorway, or just an annoyingly-shaped entry hall, the camera can still cover the crucial area.

For systems with more than one Muse monitor, you will receive an additional device called a monitor hub. The cables from the monitors will meet at this device, which is then connected to the video doorbell.
Requires CAT-5/CAT-6 cables with RJ45 Connectors
CAT-5E or CAT-6 cable, otherwise known as ethernet cable is usually used for computer networks. It has copper cores, and is very dependable for systems like video doorbell systems.
RJ45 connectors are small plastic plugs used to connect the ends of CAT-5 cables to hubs and devices.
