Intercoms
Two monitors and an IK07 outdoor station, or one 2K panel that filters?
Balter publishes an impact rating for the part most exposed to blows, the street station, and supplies a monitor for each of two floors. EZVIZ answers with resolution, a wider lens, an RFID card for opening and detection that ignores anything that is not a person.

A tick marks the better answer on that line only. Counting ticks does not decide the page — the two verdicts below do, because these products answer different questions.
No amazon.com listing was found for this one. We hold references for other markets but none for the United States, so it may not be buyable here — which is the first thing to weigh against anything below.
Buy the ENTRI M for a two-story house and for the published ratings. A street-facing station at chest height gets struck, and IK07 speaks to that; against a pry bar under the edge of a surface-mounted station it says nothing.

Buy the CP7 for the picture and the filtering. A wider, sharper view that ignores passing cars is what makes an intercom worth answering.
A measure of impact resistance under EN 62262, as distinct from IP, which covers water and dust. IK07 means a 2-joule impact. On a street-facing outdoor station that can be struck, it is relevant; it says nothing, though, about resistance to a pry bar.
On a two-story house it is what makes the intercom used rather than run downstairs for. It is also the difference between one person being able to answer the door and everybody being able to.
Yes, for opening from the monitor, the app or the RFID card to do anything. If there is none, one goes into the frame; wiring its power supply to the mains is a job for an electrician.
Surface-mounted outdoor unit · 150° Full HD · two 7-inch monitors · app · IP54 and IK07
The surface-mounted version of the ENTRI set, supplied with two 7-inch monitors. Same 150° Full HD camera, same IP54 and IK07 ratings, same tamper alarm — and no recess to cut.
Best for: An existing house with two floors, where cutting into the wall is not on the table.
2K · 7-inch touchscreen · 162° view · three ways to open · person detection with custom zones
The 2K version of EZVIZ's intercom, with a 162° field of view and three ways to release the door — from the monitor, from the app, or with the supplied RFID card — plus person detection with a user-defined area.
Best for: The same job as the CP5 with a wider, sharper image and a detection zone that can exclude the pavement.
