If you’ve been in the security industry for a while, you might look at the Aiphone JV Series and think, “I installed something like this 25 years ago.” Well, you may not be wrong! Aiphone systems are known for their reliability, and it wouldn’t be surprising if the intercom you installed all those years ago is still operational today. However, the new Aiphone JV Series KIT is here with significant updates that make it stand out from its predecessors.
The Aiphone JV Series KIT includes:
- JV-1MD Master Monitor Station
- JV-DV Door Station
- Power Supply
Key Upgrades:
- Wet and Dry Relays: The door and master station now include wet and dry contacts for more versatile door release options. This feature is particularly useful for connecting to emergency exit doors (Rex inputs), ensuring that the system is adaptable for both residential and commercial installations.
- Easy Installation: The entire setup is straightforward, thanks to its two-wire configuration, perfect for installers who may be familiar with older systems.
Features of JV-1MD Master Monitor Station
Now that we know what’s included in the Aiphone JV Series KIT, let’s delve into the specific features that make the JV-1MD Master Monitor Station so appealing to professional installers and users alike.
- 7-Inch Indoor Monitor The JV-1MD monitor offers a clean, modern design with a 7-inch screen, providing users with a clear, wide-angle view of whoever is at the door. It supports hands-free communication, allowing two-way conversations between the indoor monitor and the outdoor station.
- Picture Memory One of the standout features of the JV-1MD monitor is the picture memory function. Every time someone rings the doorbell, the system automatically captures an image, storing it for later viewing. This allows users to see who visited, even if they weren’t home at the time.
- Sleek Installation Panel Another great aspect of the JV-1MD Master Monitor is its installation-friendly design. The sleek installation panel ensures that the setup is simple and clean, avoiding unnecessary wall damage. Installers can easily mount the unit and complete the wiring in no time.

Features of JV-DV Door Station
One of the standout components of the Aiphone JV Series is the JV-DV Door Station. Designed with both security and ease of use in mind, this outdoor station ensures excellent video quality and durability, making it a reliable choice for any entry system.
Key Features:
- Wide-Angle Camera: The door station is equipped with a wide-angle camera that provides a full view of the visitor standing at the door, enhancing security and reducing blind spots. This is essential for monitoring who’s at the door, ensuring you don’t miss any important details.
- Durability with Diecast Aluminum: The JV-DV is built from diecast aluminum, giving it both sturdiness and weather resistance. Rated IP54, it can withstand the elements, making it an ideal choice for outdoor installation in various weather conditions. Whether it’s rain, dust, or wind, this station is designed to last.
- Backlit Nameplate: The door station includes a backlit nameplate where users can display their name or office location, ensuring easy identification. This is especially useful in multi-tenant or office building settings where clarity is crucial.
PS-2420S (PS-2420UL, PS-2420BF, PS-2420-O) Power Supply Adaptor
Every security system needs a reliable power source, and the Aiphone JV Series is no exception. Included in the kit is the PS-2420S Power Supply Adaptor, which is crucial for powering both the indoor monitor and the door station.
Power Supply Overview:
- Multiple Versions: The PS-2420 series includes several versions such as the PS-2420UL, PS-2420BF, and PS-2420-O, ensuring compatibility with different power standards and requirements. This flexibility makes it easier for installers to choose the right version based on their specific installation needs.
- Simple Power Link: The power supply connects directly to the indoor monitor. From there, the indoor monitor powers the outdoor door station, making the installation process incredibly simple. You don’t have to worry about running separate power lines to the outdoor station – the system takes care of it all with a single connection.
Installation of the JV Series KIT
If you’ve installed an intercom system before, particularly one from Aiphone, you’ll be glad to hear that the JV Series is incredibly easy to set up. In fact, 70% of the job is already done if you have existing doorbell wiring in place. Let’s break down the installation process to show just how user-friendly it is.

Installation Process:
- Two-Wire Setup: The JV Series KIT is a two-wire installation, making it perfect for retrofitting into older systems. If there’s already a doorbell installed, you can use the same wires to connect the door station to the indoor monitor. No complex rewiring is required!
- On the back of the JV-DV Door Station, you’ll find two terminals marked A1 and A2.
- Simply connect the existing doorbell wires (or new wiring if required) to these terminals.
- Next, run the two wires from the door station to the indoor monitor and connect them to the corresponding A1 and A2 terminals on the monitor.
- This creates a seamless connection between the indoor monitor and the door station, allowing for two-way communication and video feed from the outdoor camera.
- The PS-2420S Power Supply Adaptor is then connected to the indoor monitor, providing power to the entire system. The indoor monitor, in turn, supplies power to the door station, meaning you don’t need separate power lines for the outdoor station.
- Once everything is connected, simply plug the power adaptor into an electrical outlet, and the system will power up.
- After powering up, the system is ready for use, offering seamless intercom communication and secure door entry functionality. The whole installation process is quick, efficient, and can be completed in minutes.
The Aiphone JV Series KIT is truly a game-changer in the world of intercom systems, combining simplicity with state-of-the-art features. With its two-wire installation, durable design, and enhanced video monitoring, it’s a fantastic choice for both professional installers and end-users looking for reliable security solutions.
I’m concluding my comprehensive review of the Aiphone JV Series Intercom, a system that’s truly redefining the way we think about door entry solutions. In this part, we will dive into the core working principles of the JV Series, as well as a detailed conclusion to wrap up everything we’ve covered so far.
Let’s take a closer look at how the Aiphone JV Series functions and why it’s a game-changer for both professional installers and users alike.
How Does This Work?
Understanding how the Aiphone JV Series operates is essential for any installer or integrator, and the good news is that the system is incredibly straightforward. With the JV-DV Door Station acting as the central hub, this intercom system integrates seamlessly into any building, be it residential or commercial.
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the system in action:
- Imagine this: a visitor approaches your door and presses the doorbell button on the JV-DV Door Station. The action immediately triggers the wide-angle camera to capture a full view of the visitor standing at your entrance.
- The indoor JV-1MD master monitor station will instantly display the visitor on the screen, allowing you to see exactly who is at your door.
- Using the talk button on the indoor monitor, you can start a two-way conversation with the visitor. The built-in microphone and speaker on both the door station and the indoor unit ensure crystal-clear communication. Whether it’s a guest, delivery person, or even a client at a business, you can interact with them from the comfort of your home or office without opening the door.
- One of the most impressive features of the Aiphone JV Series is the ability to unlock the door remotely. By pressing the key button on the indoor monitor, you activate the wet and dry relay built into the door station, allowing you to unlock the door for the visitor without needing to physically open it yourself.
- When the door is unlocked, a blue LED light on the door station will blink to signal that access has been granted, adding a visual cue to the unlocking process.
- The wet and dry relay is a crucial component that allows for different types of electrical connections based on the specific needs of your door lock system. Whether you’re using a traditional electric strike or a more modern magnetic lock, the relay ensures compatibility, making the Aiphone JV Series versatile for various installations.
- This feature alone can be a game-changer for installers, as it allows them to work with multiple types of doors and locks without needing to source separate hardware.

Why the Two-Wire Installation Is a Game-Changer
As we've covered in earlier sections, the two-wire installation is what makes the JV Series stand out from other intercom systems. Whether you’re retrofitting an older system or installing it for the first time, the process is simple and efficient. Here’s why:
- Time-Saving: With only two wires to manage, installers can complete more projects in less time, allowing them to take on additional jobs and increase profitability.
- No Complex Wiring: The simplicity of the two-wire setup eliminates the need for complex electrical work, reducing the chance of installation errors and minimizing the time spent on the job.
- Retrofit-Friendly: If the property already has a doorbell system in place, the existing wires can be used to install the Aiphone JV Series, making it a perfect solution for older buildings without the need to open walls or run new wires.
