The new IST-5 touchpanel elevates system control in all commercial and residential settings. It starts with a hi-resolution 5” capacitive-touch screen with a 854x480 resolution with true-black display filter for exceptional clarity. With an ultra-thin bezel, near-flush mount (just 0.47”/12mm off the wall), and elegantly compact form-factor, the IST-5 makes an elegant statement in landscape or portrait mount. Built-in Ethernet with PoE enables seamless two-way system control, video, and remote programming.
The hi-res display is perfect for the 100% customizable RTI user interface, with fast response and easy swiping. The proximity sensor enables a fast hands-free wake while the ambient light sensors automatically adjust display brightness. With elevated processing power and enhanced memory, the IST-5 plays hi-resolution video in H.264 or H.265 format and is ideal for viewing security camera feeds. Dual speakers, far-field microphone array, SIP-readiness, plus full duplex capability make the IST-5 perfect for intercom and as an interface with video doorbells. The 2-mic array features a mute button plus hardware-based echo cancellation.
With its included mounting bracket, the IST-5 mounts easily in a US single gang box and is compatible with standard wall boxes in most countries.
Included in the box:
IST-5, metal wall bracket (1), mounting bracket screws (4), single gang low voltage mounting bracket (1)
