FARHD is proud to announce the launch of our latest 2-wire apartment video intercom system—combining easy retrofit installation with advanced access control. Designed for apartment buildings, residential complexes, and gated communities, this new system supports four convenient unlock methods: Face Recognition, RFID/IC Card, Password, and Mobile App.
Upgrading an apartment intercom used to mean complex rewiring, high labor costs, and weeks of disruption. The new FARHD 2-wire apartment video intercom changes that. It uses the existing two-core cabling already inside many buildings, enabling a fast, clean, and cost-effective upgrade to modern video intercom functionality.
Whether you are a property developer, system integrator, or building manager, this new solution delivers the security, convenience, and scalability that modern residential projects demand.
Why 2-Wire Is Ideal for Apartment Buildings
For apartment buildings, the biggest challenge is often the wiring. Running new CAT5/6 or multi-core cables through occupied buildings is expensive and disruptive. The FARHD 2-wire system solves this problem.
Key advantages of 2-wire technology:
- Reuses existing wiring – Often works with old doorbell, telephone, or intercom cables.
- Non-polarity connection – Connect either way; no risk of reverse polarity damage.
- Fast installation – Any electrician can complete the setup quickly.
- Lower cost – Saves on labor, materials, and resident disruption.
- Long transmission distance – Supports up to 100 meters, ideal for multi-floor apartment buildings.
- Escalável – Supports up to 9,999 apartments, from small walk-ups to large residential towers.
For retrofits and new builds alike, 2-wire technology offers the best balance of performance, simplicity, and value.
Four Unlock Methods for Flexible Access Control
Different residents prefer different ways to enter. The new FARHD apartment video intercom supports four primary unlock methods, ensuring everyone—from children and elderly residents to tech-savvy users and temporary visitors—has a convenient option.
| Método de Desbloqueio | Melhor para |
|---|---|
| Reconhecimento Facial | Hands-free access for residents; supports up to 40,000 faces |
| RFID/IC Card | Daily use by children, elderly residents, and staff |
| Password | Temporary guests, delivery personnel, or backup access |
| Aplicativo móvel | Remote unlock, visitor management, and family sharing |
Residents can also unlock from the indoor monitor with a single tap. The system supports multiple credential types simultaneously, giving property managers maximum flexibility.
Face Recognition: Hands-Free, Secure, and Fast
Face recognition is one of the most advanced access methods available for apartment buildings. The new FARHD system supports up to 40,000 faces, making it suitable for large residential communities.
Benefits of face recognition:
- Hands-free entry – Residents simply walk up and the door unlocks.
- Fast throughput – Recognition in milliseconds, reducing queues at busy entrances.
- High security – Difficult to spoof or share credentials.
- Large capacity – Register every resident, plus staff and frequent visitors.
- Ideal for all ages – No need to carry a card or remember a password.
For property managers, face recognition reduces the burden of issuing and replacing cards. For residents, it delivers a seamless, modern entry experience.
Card, Password & App Unlock: Convenience for Every User
While face recognition is the headline feature, the system also supports three other unlock methods to ensure no one is left out.
RFID/IC Card Unlock
- Tap a registered card to enter.
- Ideal for residents who prefer a physical credential.
- Easy to issue and revoke through the indoor monitor or management software.
Password Unlock
- Enter a preset code on the outdoor keypad.
- Perfect for temporary guests, delivery drivers, or service providers.
- Can be changed or revoked at any time.
Desbloqueio por Aplicativo Móvel
- Use the Tuya Smart Life app to unlock from anywhere.
- Receive video calls, view live video, and manage visitor access remotely.
- Share access with up to 20 family members.
Together, these methods ensure that every resident and visitor has an appropriate, secure way to enter.

The new 2-wire apartment video intercom is designed specifically for multi-tenant residential buildings. Key features include:
- Supports up to 9,999 apartments – 1- to 4-digit room numbers.
- Room number and resident name display – Visitors can easily find the correct apartment.

These features make the system suitable for apartment buildings, gated communities, student housing, serviced apartments, and mixed-use residential projects.
Easy Installation with 2-Wire Simplicity
The system is designed for straightforward installation:
- Mount the outdoor station at the building entrance.
- Run the 2-wire cable from the outdoor station to the indoor monitor or 2-wire switch.
- Connect the wires – no polarity concerns.
- Power the system via the indoor monitor or 2-wire switch.
- Configure cards, faces, passwords, and app access through the indoor monitor or management platform.
For larger buildings, a 2-wire switch can distribute signals to multiple indoor monitors and door stations, simplifying wiring and reducing installation time.
Compatible with Electric Locks
The system includes relay outputs compatible with common electric locks:
- Electric control locks
- Magnetic locks
- Electric strikes
- Motor locks
Importante: The relay is a dry contact and does not power the lock. A dedicated power supply (typically 12V DC) is required for the lock.
