Fanvil X301 vs X303 comes down to three things: the screen, the number of SIP accounts and line keys, and the speed of the PC port. The X4U sits above both for anyone who transfers calls all day. Each series also comes in P, G and W versions, and that letter changes how the phone connects and is powered. This guide compares the seven models Misbar stocks, using figures from Fanvil's official pages, and tells you which phone fits which desk.

Quick comparison: all seven models

In short: the X301P suits most staff desks, the X303P suits anyone handling more than one line, and the X4U is for the receptionist or secretary who transfers calls. Pick a G model when the PC sits behind the phone and needs gigabit, and a W model when no network cable reaches the desk.

Fanvil X301 vs X303: the 3 real differences

1. Screen: the X301 has a 2.3-inch backlit mono display, enough for caller ID and menus. The X303 has a 2.4-inch 320×240 colour screen, so names and line status read faster.
2. Accounts and line keys: the X301 has 2 SIP accounts; the X303 has 4, plus 3 LED line keys. One look at the keys tells you which line is ringing or on hold, which matters for sales and support staff who answer the company number and their direct line.
3. Key count: the X301 has 33 keys and the X303 has 36. The difference is those 3 line keys.

What both series share: 6-party local conferencing, HD audio with G.722 and Opus, a 1,000-entry phonebook, support for Poly and Jabra EHS wireless headsets, and L2TP and OpenVPN for branch phones.

What P, G and W mean

• P: two 10/100 Mbps ports with PoE. The lowest-cost version, fine when the PC connects directly or doesn't need more than 100 Mbps.
• G: two gigabit 10/100/1000 Mbps ports with PoE, so the PC behind the phone keeps full gigabit speed.
• W: built-in Wi-Fi on 2.4 and 5 GHz, no network cable needed. Note that the X301W runs on a 5V/1A adapter only, with no PoE, while the X303W runs on PoE or the adapter.

Fanvil X301 series: the two-account staff phone

The Fanvil X301P is the phone for fitting out dozens of desks on a sensible budget. It runs from a PoE switch at no more than 1.86 W, has 9 fixed function keys for hold, transfer, conference and voicemail, and keeps a 600-call log.

If the user moves large files or works in cloud systems from a PC behind the phone, the X301G keeps the same screen and two accounts with gigabit ports. The X301W is for a desk with no cable, such as a room added later: it joins the Wi-Fi and only needs a power socket.

[cta:92053492]

Fanvil X303 series: colour screen and 4 accounts

The Fanvil X303P suits sales, customer service and admin desks. Its 3 LED line keys keep the main line apart from your direct line, and the colour screen shows the caller clearly. It runs on PoE; there is no adapter in the box if you don't have a PoE switch.

The X303G adds gigabit ports and 802.3af PoE, plus management features IT teams in larger companies want: SNMP, an XML browser, multicast paging, and a backup SIP server the phone fails over to. The X303W adds dual-band Wi-Fi with 802.11ac on 5 GHz.

In an older building wired for regular phones, the X303-2 Wire runs over the existing two-wire phone cabling with a Fanvil PN8 or PN24 switch, so you move to IP phones without new network cabling.

[cta:1290279920]

Fanvil X4U: for reception, assistants and managers

The Fanvil X4U is built for whoever transfers calls all day. A 2.8-inch colour main screen handles calls, and a second 2.4-inch colour screen labels the DSS keys: 6 LED keys, up to 30 across 5 pages. Program each key for a colleague's extension to see whether they are free or busy and transfer with one press when your PBX supports BLF.

• 12 SIP accounts, so several departments' lines fit on one phone.
• Two gigabit ports with PoE and a 1,000-call log.
• A USB 2.0 port for recording calls to a flash drive and for the BT20 Bluetooth or WF20 Wi-Fi dongles. The dongles are not built in and are sold separately.
• 6-party conferencing and HD audio with Opus.

If the front desk needs more lines and keys, step up to the Fanvil X5U with 16 SIP accounts and built-in Bluetooth, or the X6U with three screens, 20 SIP accounts and up to 60 DSS keys.

[cta:1754421746]

Power: PoE or adapter?

Every model except the X301W runs on PoE, so one network cable from a PoE switch carries both power and data and no desk needs a socket. Without a PoE switch, each phone needs an adapter: 5V/0.6A for the P and G versions of the X301 and X303, 5V/1A for the W versions, and 5V/2A for the X4U. The adapter is optional and not in the box.

PBX compatibility

Fanvil phones use SIP, so they register on any IP PBX that supports it, on-premise or cloud. Fanvil's official documents list the X301 and X303 series as compatible with Yeastar P-Series, Yeastar Cloud PBX, 3CX and PortSIP. When you are fitting out dozens of desks, Auto Provisioning configures every phone from the PBX in one go instead of one by one.

4 common mistakes when buying Fanvil desk phones

1. A 10/100 phone in front of a fast PC: a PC behind an X301P or X303P is capped at 100 Mbps. If it needs more, choose the X301G or X303G.
2. Buying the X301W for a desk with a PoE switch: it does not take PoE and always needs a power socket. Where a cable is available, the X301P or X301G is the better fit.
3. Forgetting the adapter: without a PoE switch, budget one adapter per phone, as none comes in the box.
4. No DSS keys at reception: a receptionist who transfers calls needs to see colleagues' status, which is what the key screen on the X4U is for.

FAQ

What is the difference between the Fanvil X301P and X303P?

The X303P has a 2.4-inch colour screen, 4 SIP accounts and 3 LED line keys. The X301P has a 2.3-inch mono screen and 2 SIP accounts with no line keys. Both have 10/100 ports, PoE and 6-party conferencing.

When should I choose the X303G over the X303P?

When the PC sits behind the phone and needs more than 100 Mbps. The X303G has gigabit ports and adds SNMP and a backup SIP server.

Does the Fanvil X4U have Bluetooth?

Not built in. It supports Bluetooth through the BT20 dongle and Wi-Fi through the WF20 dongle in its USB port, both sold separately. The X5U has Bluetooth built in.

Do Fanvil phones work with Yeastar or Grandstream PBXs?

Fanvil phones work with any PBX that supports SIP. Fanvil's documents list the X301 and X303 as compatible with Yeastar P-Series, Yeastar Cloud PBX and 3CX, and they register on Grandstream UCM like any SIP phone.

Does the phone come with a power adapter?

No. The adapter is optional on these models and the phone runs straight from a PoE switch, except the X301W, which always needs a 5V/1A adapter.

Which phone should you choose?

• Large numbers of staff desks: the X301P.
• A PC behind the phone that needs gigabit: the X301G, or the X303G for 4 accounts.
• Sales and customer service: the X303P with its colour screen and line keys.
• A desk with no network cable: the X303W, or the X301W if two accounts are enough.
• Reception, assistants and managers: the X4U with its DSS key screen and 12 accounts.

The best villa intercom lets you see who is at the gate before you open it, and opens the door from your phone when you are out. Picking one comes down to three questions: how many homes or flats sit behind the gate, whether a network cable reaches the door, and whether the intercom should ring on your company PBX. This guide answers each with real numbers and matches every case to a Fanvil, Grandstream or Uniview model you can order from Misbar.

Quick pick: which intercom fits your building?

How an IP video intercom works

There are three parts. The outdoor door station holds the camera, microphone, speaker and call button. The indoor monitor shows the visitor and lets you talk, and the mobile app forwards the call to your phone. When you press unlock, the door station triggers the electric or magnetic lock wired to it.

What changes from an old audio intercom is the cabling. Each device takes one network cable from a PoE switch, and that cable carries power, audio and video, so you need no power socket at the gate. Every device in this guide supports PoE at 802.3af or higher and also accepts a 12V adapter if you have no PoE switch.

Check the protocol before you buy. Fanvil and Grandstream run on SIP, so they register on an IP PBX and ring office phones. Uniview door stations use Uniview's own protocol with Uniview indoor monitors and the Uniview app.

Fanvil VIK-01 kit: the easiest start for a villa

For a villa with a single entrance that wants everything in one order, the Fanvil VIK-01 kit pairs an i504W indoor touchscreen with an i60 door station. Fanvil says the two work together once you connect power and network.

• i504W monitor: 7-inch IPS touchscreen at 1024×600, a 2W speaker and dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz), so it can go in the living room or majlis even where no network cable reaches.
• i60 door station: 2 MP HDR camera with a 140° view, 0.1 lux with infrared, IP65 housing, and a compact 130×50×30 mm body that fits a narrow door frame.
• Ways to open the door: from the monitor, from the Fanvil Link app, over Bluetooth BLE, with a 13.56 MHz IC card, or with an inside exit button.

A lock is not included. The i60 has a relay with NC, COM and NO terminals for the electric or magnetic lock you choose. If your driver and staff need a PIN code, buy the monitor with the keypad i60K door station instead of the kit.

[cta:482208967]

A tougher door station for the villa gate: Fanvil i62 and i63

The i60 is rated IP65 with no impact rating. If your gate faces the street, the sun and the dust, or you want an aluminium face that suits a stone wall, go for the Fanvil i62: aluminium alloy housing, IP66 against dust and water jets, IK07 impact resistance, a 2 MP camera and a lit call button visitors can find at night.

Many Saudi villas house two families, parents downstairs and a married son upstairs or in the annex. The Fanvil i63 keeps the same housing and protection but adds five call buttons, so each button rings a different household and the other family is not disturbed by every visitor.

Both work with the Fanvil i504 monitor, which matches the i504W without Wi-Fi and has 8 alarm inputs for door and window sensors. For a flush finish, Fanvil's EX102 in-wall kit fits the i62, i63 and i64, with its back box set into the wall before plastering.

[cta:172771778]

Apartment building intercoms: dial the flat number

A 30-flat building cannot have a button per flat. A keypad solves it: the visitor types the flat number and only that resident's monitor rings.

• Fanvil i64: backlit keypad, aluminium housing rated IP66 and IK07, and a 2 MP camera. Visitors dial the flat number then #, and dual authentication protects sensitive doors such as stores and server rooms. Because it runs on SIP, each flat can ring a monitor, an IP phone or a PBX extension.
• Uniview OEU-301S-HMKA: 15 Braille keys and a 3.97-inch screen that guides the visitor, with up to 500 indoor monitors and 10,000 IC cards. The metal housing runs from -40 to 60°C, ships with an in-wall mounting box, and works with Uniview indoor monitors and the UNV-Link app.

For a two-family villa that prefers Uniview, the OEU-202S-HMK2 has two call buttons, IP65 and IK08 protection, a card reader for up to 10,000 cards, and support for up to 40 indoor monitors.

[cta:838236108]

Offices and compounds: Grandstream GDS3710 with the GSC3570

At an office, clinic or warehouse gate, you want the door to ring reception, staff to badge in, and the entrance to be recorded with your cameras. The Grandstream GDS3710 covers all three:

• 1080p camera with a 180° horizontal and 150° vertical view, so you see who stands beside the door, not just a face, plus WDR up to 120 dB when the sun is behind the visitor.
• 12 touch keys and a 125kHz RFID reader for up to 2,000 cards, with a card and key fob in the box.
• Two relay outputs for two locks or a lock and entrance lighting, in a metal IP66 and IK09 housing.
• ONVIF Profile S support, so your NVR records everyone who comes and goes.

Register the GDS3710 as an extension on your IP PBX and it rings desk phones, or answer it on your phone through the GS Wave app. For a guard room or reception, the GSC3570 is a 7-inch touch station with 4 SIP accounts that links up to 20 GDS37xx door stations, two doors each, so the guard opens them without leaving the desk.

If the door is in a rented office with no network cable, the GDS3727 connects over dual-band Wi-Fi 6, though it still needs a 12V adapter near the door, which is not included. It has a 4MP camera, a card reader for up to 5,000 cards and NFC. For entrances that need face recognition, the Fanvil i67 has a 7-inch touchscreen, stores up to 10,000 faces and 10,000 cards, and checks liveness against photos and masks.

[cta:1435285772]

Choosing the lock: magnetic or electric?

The intercom sends the unlock command; the lock does the work. The Uniview OEA-ML12-280 magnetic lock holds 280 kg, runs on 12V or 24V, and suits wood, glass and steel doors. It is fail-safe, meaning it releases when power is lost. That suits office doors, but think it through before fitting one on an outer villa gate.

On the relay, wire an electric lock that locks on power loss to COM and NO, and a magnetic lock to COM and NC. Give a magnetic lock its own power supply, because some door stations have a small power output, 12V / 0.25A on the OEU-202S-HMK2 for example. Browse all magnetic locks.

4 mistakes to avoid when buying a villa intercom

1. No network cable to the gate: run it before finishing works; with PoE one cable carries power and video. Too late? Choose a Wi-Fi monitor like the i504W or a Wi-Fi door station like the GDS3727.
2. Weak protection on an exposed gate: go for IP65 at minimum, and IP66 with an IK rating for a gate right on the street.
3. Mixing systems: a Uniview door station needs a Uniview monitor. Fanvil and Grandstream use SIP with their own monitors and any SIP PBX.
4. Weak Wi-Fi at the monitor: if the monitor or your phone relies on Wi-Fi, check the signal in the living room and annex first, as covered in our guide to the best access points for villas and businesses.

FAQ

Can I open the villa door from my phone when I am away?

Yes. The VIK-01 kit works with the Fanvil Link app, and the GDS3710 sends calls to the GS Wave app, as long as the system is connected to the internet.

Does an IP video intercom need a power socket at the gate?

No, if you connect it to an 802.3af PoE switch, the network cable powers it. It also accepts a 12V adapter if you have no PoE switch.

What is the difference between the Fanvil i60 and i62?

Both have a 2 MP camera and one call button. The i62 has an aluminium body, IP66 and IK07, while the i60 is smaller, rated IP65 with no IK rating, and is the door station inside the VIK-01 kit.

Can the intercom record to my CCTV recorder?

Yes, on ONVIF models such as the GDS3710 and Fanvil i62. Add them to an ONVIF-compatible NVR and the entrance is recorded like any camera.

Can I mix a door station from one brand with a monitor from another?

It is safest to keep both from the same brand. Uniview door stations use their own protocol with Uniview monitors, while Fanvil and Grandstream use SIP with their own monitors and with SIP PBXs.

Which intercom should you choose?

• Villa with one entrance: the Fanvil VIK-01 kit.
• Villa gate on the street: the i62 with an i504 monitor, or the i63 for two families.
• Apartment building: the keypad Fanvil i64, or the Uniview OEU-301S-HMKA for large buildings up to 500 monitors.
• Office or warehouse with a PBX: the GDS3710 at the door and the GSC3570 in the guard room or reception.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best IP phone for small businesses?

The best choice depends on your specific setup. The GRP2602P is ideal for desks requiring basic calling capabilities with PoE connectivity, while the GRP2612W offers built-in Wi-Fi for spaces where network cabling is limited.

What is the difference between the GRP2602P and GRP2612W?

While both are reliable business IP phones, the GRP2602P focuses on essential wired office desktop use via PoE. The GRP2612W adds built-in dual-band Wi-Fi support and 4-line multi functionality for greater deployment flexibility.

Can an IP phone work without a PBX system?

Yes, depending on your setup. Certain IP phones can register directly with a cloud SIP service provider. However, enterprise environments typically require a local IP PBX or cloud communications platform to handle extensions, call transfers, and internal routing efficiently.

Can IP phones be powered via PoE?

Yes, provided the phone model supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and your network switch or router supplies PoE power. Always check hardware specifications prior to purchasing to avoid needing additional power adapters.

How do I choose the right IP phone for my company?

Assess the number of users and required SIP accounts, then compare audio quality, screen size, network options (Wi Fi vs. Ethernet/PoE), and essential features. You can contact Misbar Al Hasabat anytime to discuss available options and get a custom quote for your organization.
