The Avalonix ICM7 is a 7-inch PoE video intercom monitor designed to give you a dedicated indoor screen for answering calls from the IC1080POE video intercom. When someone presses the call button at the entrance, the ICM7 displays the incoming video call so you can see the visitor, speak with them using two-way audio, and remotely release a properly connected electric door strike.
The ICM7 is useful anywhere you want a dedicated indoor answering station instead of relying only on a smartphone. It works well at home entrances, reception desks, offices, storefronts, warehouses, shipping and receiving areas, and other controlled entry points. There is no required monthly subscription to use the ICM7 with compatible local intercom and camera equipment.

0:00 - ICM7 and IC1080POE overview
Ray introduces the ICM7 indoor touchscreen monitor and the IC1080POE PoE video intercom. The demonstration focuses on connecting an electric door strike to the intercom and then controlling that strike from the ICM7 over the network.
1:01 - Pair the intercom and monitor first
Before setting up door control, the ICM7 and IC1080POE should already be connected to the same local network and properly configured so they can communicate. The demonstration uses a PoE switch. When the ICM7 and intercom are purchased together from CCTV Camera World, compatible static IP addresses can be configured and the units can be paired before shipment.
1:46 - Equipment used in the demonstration
The bench setup includes the ICM7 indoor monitor, IC1080POE intercom, a PoE switch, and a 12VDC electric door strike with its own power supply. The PoE switch provides network connectivity and power to the compatible PoE devices.
2:02 - Electric strike wiring basics
The demonstrated electric strike is a power-to-unlock type. It remains locked when its circuit is open and temporarily releases when the circuit is completed. Door hardware varies, so the voltage, current, fail-safe or fail-secure operation, and wiring requirements of the specific strike should always be confirmed before installation.
2:21 - Intercom connections and PoE
The IC1080POE uses its connection harness when a door strike is being added. Ethernet is connected to the intercom for network communication and PoE power. During startup, the intercom's tamper switch can produce a loud warning sound when the unit is not mounted in its normal installed position.
3:40 - Door 1 relay connection
The IC1080POE controls one electric door strike through its Door 1 connection. The door-control wires on the intercom harness are used to switch the strike circuit. Follow the connection diagram on the intercom and the wiring requirements for the particular electric strike being installed.
5:15 - Not every harness connection is required
Several connections are available on the intercom and ICM7 harnesses. If wired alarm inputs are not being used, those alarm connections are not required for basic intercom operation. Likewise, the ICM7's alarm harness is not where the electric door strike is connected.
6:14 - The strike connects to the intercom, not the ICM7
This is an important distinction. The electric door strike must be wired to the IC1080POE intercom. The ICM7 is the indoor control and answering station. It communicates with the intercom over the network and sends the unlock command when the user presses the appropriate button.
7:07 - How the demonstrated door strike works
The 12VDC strike used in the video remains locked when it is not energized. When the IC1080POE closes the appropriate circuit, the strike receives power and releases the latch. The strike then returns to its locked state after the unlock period ends.
9:50 - Unlocking from the ICM7
Ray opens the intercom view on the ICM7 and presses the on-screen unlock control. The intercom acknowledges the command and the electric strike can be heard releasing. This demonstrates the ICM7 controlling the door through the IC1080POE rather than directly switching the strike itself.
10:28 - Unlock interval
In the demonstrated configuration, the intercom has a 15-second interval between consecutive unlock commands. This setting is controlled by the intercom rather than the ICM7.
11:26 - Adjusting door-control settings
The IC1080POE web interface includes access-control settings for the interval between unlock commands and the door unlock duration. The demonstration shows a default unlock duration of two seconds and a 15-second interval between consecutive unlocks. These values can be adjusted by an authorized user on the local network.
12:42 - What happens when someone is at the door
A visitor presses the call button on the outdoor intercom. The ICM7 receives the call, the user answers from the touchscreen, and both sides can have a two-way conversation. After deciding to allow entry, the user presses Door 1 on the ICM7 and the IC1080POE releases the connected electric strike.
13:12 - Practical entry-control setup
The finished setup provides a dedicated indoor video intercom station for a home or business without requiring a recurring software subscription. The system uses standard networking and PoE equipment together with compatible door hardware.
How the ICM7 works with the IC1080POE
A typical visitor call works like this:
- A visitor presses the call button on the IC1080POE at the entrance.
- The incoming call appears on the ICM7 touchscreen.
- You answer the call, view the visitor, and speak using the built-in microphone and speaker.
- If entry should be allowed, you press the on-screen Door 1 control.
- The ICM7 sends the unlock command over the network to the IC1080POE.
- The IC1080POE operates its connected door relay and releases the compatible electric strike.
The electric strike requires its own compatible power source and must be wired to the intercom. The ICM7 does not provide operating power to the electric strike.
Dedicated indoor monitor for homes and businesses
The ICM7 gives you a permanent wall-mounted answering station inside the building. A receptionist can place it near a front desk, an employee can use it near a secured office entrance, or a homeowner can install it in a convenient interior location. This can be especially useful when you do not want door access to depend entirely on someone having a smartphone nearby.
For commercial properties, the ICM7 and video intercom can be used alongside a larger business security camera system. The intercom handles communication and door access at the entrance, while the camera system can provide broader recorded coverage of offices, hallways, warehouses, loading areas, parking lots, and other parts of the property.
View compatible IP cameras from the touchscreen
The ICM7 can also display video from compatible ONVIF IP cameras connected to the same local network. This gives you a quick way to check another view around an entrance, side door, driveway, lobby, backyard, or other nearby area directly from the touchscreen.
The ICM7 uses the camera substream for viewing, with a maximum displayed stream resolution of 720P. ONVIF compatibility can vary by camera model and supported features, so basic video viewing should not be interpreted as a guarantee that camera-side audio, analytics, alarms, or other advanced functions will also be available through the ICM7.
If you want to add additional network camera views, browse our IP cameras. If your goal is continuous recording and playback from multiple cameras, the ICM7 is not a replacement for an NVR. A complete security camera system is the better choice for property-wide recording.
PoE networking and preconfiguration
The ICM7 supports standard 802.3af PoE, allowing network data and power to travel over the Ethernet connection. It can also be powered using 12VDC when appropriate for the installation.
The ICM7 and IC1080POE need to be properly addressed and paired on the local network before they can communicate. When both products are purchased together, CCTV Camera World can configure compatible static IP addresses and pair the devices before shipment. This reduces the network setup required when the equipment arrives.

Product Questions
Does this camera have audio detection?
Question by: Frank on Mar 13, 2026, 10:21 AM
Yes. Our professional Avalonix IP cameras support audio detection, and this setting can be managed through the camera’s built-in web interface.
To access these options, the user would open a web browser such as Chrome or Firefox on a Mac or PC that is connected to the same local network as the camera. After logging into the camera through the browser, they can go into the settings menu and turn audio detection on or off as needed.
In simple terms, audio detection lets the camera listen for sound changes in the area and respond when noise reaches a level you set. Through the web interface, the user can enable the feature, adjust how sensitive it is, set the threshold for what should count as an audio event, and choose what the camera should do when sound is detected. For example, the camera can be set to trigger recording or capture a snapshot when an audio event occurs.
