DoorBird A1081 IP I/O Door Controller with PoE and Wi-Fi for Up to Three Doors

The DoorBird A1081 IP I/O Door Controller delivers tamperproof control of up to three doors or gates over a network, installed remotely in a protected interior area such as a control cabinet and connected to any DoorBird IP video door station without physical wiring between the door and the station. Measuring 122 x 86 x 32 mm (4.8 x 3.39 x 1.26 in) and weighing 174 g, the unit connects via network cable with PoE capability (IEEE 802.3 af/at Mode-A) or 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) with external antenna, and all signals between the door station and controller are transmitted encrypted according to banking standards. Powered by 15 V DC or PoE, it is rated for operation from -5 to 55°C (-23 to 131°F) at 10 to 85% RH non-condensing, though it is not weather-proof and is intended for wall, ceiling, or control-cabinet mounting.

Key Features

  • Compact Dimensions: 122 x 86 x 32 mm (4.8 x 3.39 x 1.26 in), 174 g, suited for discreet installation in control cabinets or concealed spaces.
  • Flexible Power Options: Operates on 15 V DC or Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af Mode A) for simplified low-voltage wiring.
  • Bi-Stable Switching Relays: Three freely configurable relays (permanently open, permanently closed, or toggle) that retain their state even in the event of power loss.
  • Tamperproof, Encrypted Control: Signals between the door station and controller are transmitted encrypted according to banking standards, preempting tampering by short circuit or external voltage source.
  • Wireless and Wired Network Connectivity: Connects via 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) with external antenna or Ethernet with PoE (IEEE 802.3 af/at Mode-A).
  • External Sensor Monitoring: Connects and monitors two external sensors, such as a motion sensor or contact switch, to trigger further actions including alarm push notifications.
  • Multi-Door Control: Independently controls up to three electric door openers via separate, configurable NO/NC relay contacts, with relay status displayed in the DoorBird App.
  • Unlimited Network Scalability: No limitation on the number of I/O door controllers that can be connected to a DoorBird IP video door station on a network.

DoorBird 423860346 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the DoorBird A1081 door controller be mounted outside at the gate?
No. The A1081 is not weather-proof and belongs in a protected interior area, wall, ceiling, or control cabinet. That is the point of the design: the relays live inside where nobody can reach them, and the door station at the entrance talks to the controller over the network, so there is no unlock wiring running out to the door. For an exterior gate, run the network cable to the gate and keep the controller in the electrical room.
2) How many doors can one DoorBird A1081 controller operate, and can I add more later?
Three. The A1081 carries three freely configurable relays, each driving an electric door opener independently, with NO or NC contacts and relay status visible in the DoorBird App. There is no cap on how many I/O controllers you attach to a DoorBird IP video door station on the same network, so a four door or twenty door building just adds more A1081 units rather than replacing the one you have.
3) Will the A1081 work with my DoorBird video door station, or do I need a specific model?
Any of them. The A1081 I/O door controller is compatible with all DoorBird IP video door stations, and it pairs over the network rather than through a wiring harness, so the door station model does not constrain the choice. What it will not do is control a non-DoorBird intercom.
4) Do I need a separate power supply for the DoorBird A1081, or will PoE run it?
PoE runs it. The A1081 takes IEEE 802.3 af/at Mode-A power over the same Ethernet cable that carries its data, so one run from a PoE switch finishes the job. If you are on Wi-Fi or a non-PoE switch, it also accepts 15 V DC. Note that this powers the controller only, the electric strikes or maglocks on the relay outputs still need their own supply.
5) What happens to the doors if the DoorBird A1081 loses power?
The relays hold whatever state they were in. The A1081 uses bi-stable switching relays, configurable as permanently open, permanently closed, or toggle, and they retain their state through a power loss. That matters when you have a gate or a corridor door parked open for deliveries, it stays as you left it instead of snapping back on a blink of the mains.
6) Is it safe to control a door over the network, can someone force the strike by shorting a wire?
Signals between the DoorBird door station and the A1081 controller are transmitted encrypted to banking standards, and because the controller sits inside the building, the wiring at the entry panel carries no unlock circuit to short. That closes the classic attack of bridging the door station terminals or feeding external voltage into them.
7) Will the DoorBird A1081 fit in my control cabinet or a DIN enclosure?
It measures 4.8 x 3.39 x 1.26 in (122 x 86 x 32 mm) and weighs 174 g, so it drops into most control cabinets, above a ceiling, or into a surface backbox. The 1.26 in depth is the number to check against a shallow enclosure lid, and remember the Wi-Fi build needs clearance for the external antenna.
8) Should I run Ethernet to the A1081 or use Wi-Fi?
Hardwire it if you can, because the Ethernet run also powers the unit over PoE and you skip a second supply. Wi-Fi on the A1081 is 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n with an external antenna, which is what you want when the controller sits in a cabinet that already has 15 V DC but no data cable. Either way the network needs DHCP.
9) Can the DoorBird A1081 take an input from a motion sensor or a door contact?
Yes, two of them. The A1081 connects and monitors two external sensors, a motion sensor or a contact switch for example, and can trigger further actions off them including alarm push notifications to the DoorBird App. That covers door-held-open monitoring on a service entrance or motion at a loading bay without adding a separate alarm panel.
10) Can the A1081 be installed in an unheated garage or parking structure?
Within limits. The A1081 is rated for -5 to 55 C (-23 to 131 F) at 10 to 85 percent RH non-condensing. An unheated but enclosed garage or a mechanical room is inside that band in most climates. It is not weather-proof, so an open parking deck or anywhere it sees driven rain or condensation needs the unit in a sealed enclosure.
11) What do I need in place before ordering a DoorBird A1081 controller?
A DoorBird IP video door station on the network, an Ethernet network or 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi running DHCP, and a high-speed landline broadband connection (DSL, cable, or fiber) with no socks or proxy server in the path. Setup and relay status run through the DoorBird App on current iOS or Android. The proxy restriction is the one that catches corporate and institutional sites out, check it with IT before the truck roll.
12) What is the DoorBird A1081 part number for a spec submittal?
DoorBird A1081, the IP I/O door controller in the A1081 series, ZenSupply item 423860346. That is the identity to put on the submittal or the purchase order.
