Balter ENTRI M review
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.
The conclusion The version most houses should actually buy. Same specification, no masonry, and the second monitor included.
This is the ENTRI set for a house that already exists. Everything about it
matches the flush version except the one thing that decides whether the
installation is an afternoon or two weeks: the outdoor station fixes to the
face of the wall rather than into it.
Why that is the right default
Cutting a recess into an existing masonry wall, making it good, and weathering
it properly costs more than the difference between the two sets, and it is not
work most people want at their front door. Surface mounting leaves a visible
edge and loses a little resistance to levering — which is precisely why the
IK07 rating and the tamper alarm matter more on this model than on the flush
one.
Two monitors, and why they are in the box
A single panel in a hall is not answered from a bedroom. This set supplies
two, which covers a normal two-story house and costs less than buying a
second panel afterwards.
The rating to respect
IP54: dust and splashing water. Under a porch or an overhang, fine. On a wall
that takes driving rain, this station wants shelter — and an intercom that is
sheltered also lasts far longer, whatever it is rated for.
Who it suits
An existing two-story house wanting a proper wired system without opening a
wall.

The questions we are asked
Flush or surface — which should I choose?
Surface, unless the wall is already open. Flush looks better and resists levering slightly better; cutting a recess into an existing wall is masonry work that costs more than the difference between the two sets. Balter sells both precisely because the answer depends on the wall, not on the product.
Why two monitors rather than one?
Because an intercom answered only from the hall is an intercom you run downstairs for. On two floors the second panel is what makes the system used rather than tolerated, and the pair costs less than adding one later.
Does the tamper alarm need the system to be armed?
It is a function of the outdoor station reporting interference to the system. It is not a burglar alarm and it does not summon anybody — it tells you the outdoor unit has been meddled with, which on a street-facing entrance is worth knowing.

Flush-mounted outdoor unit · 150° Full HD · 7-inch monitor · app · IP54 and IK07 · tamper alarm
A complete single-family set with a flush-mounted outdoor station, a 150° Full HD camera, a 7-inch monitor and app access. Balter states IP54 and IK07 ratings and a tamper alarm on the outdoor unit.
Best for: A new or renovated entrance where a recess can be cut and the outdoor unit should sit flush in the wall.
7-inch master station · die-cast aluminum vandal-resistant door station · 24 V DC · 165 ft on 22AWG, 330 ft on 18AWG — the only cable run length on this shelf · 30 stored still images · expandable to 1×2 only · the page lists JV-series parts in its bullets and JO-series parts in its description
The only listing here that tells you how far the cable can run — on a page that names two different product families for the same box.
Best for: A long cable run to a gate, where the distance figure and die-cast construction justify seven hundred dollars

Best for: A gate or an entrance where the job is to speak and release, and a specified strike contact matters more than a picture
