Bell System Bellissimo Colour Video Door Entry Phone and Accessories

Bell System Bellissimo Colour Video Door Entry Phone and Accessories

The model BS is the colour video telephone of Bell System's Bellissimo video door entry system. The resident sees the caller at the entrance, speaks with them on the handset and controls their access. This page lists the wall-mounting BS, the BS-DESK for table tops and the BS-IDL with inductive loop, plus four related codes from Bell's price list: the BS-RT extension sounder, the BS-FB flashing beacon, the BS-DESK-KIT video desk phone kit and the BS-LM Bellissimo lock module.

The BS is made in white high-impact ABS plastic and has a 3.5 inch LCD colour display, contrast and ringer volume controls, and privacy of speech on all systems. Its three soft-touch silicone buttons are backlit and marked with clear symbols. Bell says the telephones work over long distances on a single CAT5 cable, have removable terminal blocks and mount directly on the wall without extra brackets or connectors. The same BS model works with a conventional or a digital panel.

Key features

• View button flashes amber while ringing; the picture appears automatically unless auto-picture is turned off.
• Private button mutes the ringer and lights red, for 1 minute to 10 hours or indefinitely.
• Door button gives a timed lock release output, typically 3 seconds, adjustable at the panel controller.
• Door button stays lit if the door is left open (needs a door contact).
• Single CAT5 cable and removable terminal blocks for connection.
• Listed as a compatible monitor for Bell's vandal resistant digital and Bellagio video panels.
• One video telephone per call button, and up to three extension video telephones, more with additional power supplies.
• BS-DESK: factory fitted on a sloped pedestal, with a captive cable and plug-in connector for the supplied wall socket.

Choosing the right option

Choose the BS for wall mounting, or the BS-DESK if the telephone will sit on a table or desk. The BS-IDL is the version Bell lists with an inductive loop. To make the call easier to notice, add a BS-RT extension sounder, which carries the call tone to other areas, or a BS-FB flashing beacon, which gives a visual signal. For a second telephone in the same home, add another BS as an extension.

Common questions

Can I add a second video telephone in the same home?

Yes. Bell says the BS can be connected to further BS video telephones as extensions. Bell lists one video telephone per call button and up to three extension video telephones, or more with additional power supplies. The XL5-BS audio telephone, the BS-RT sounder and the BS-FB flashing beacon can also be used as extensions.

Will the BS work with a digital entrance panel?

Yes. Bell says there is one model of Bellissimo video telephone whether it is connected to a conventional or a digital panel. Bell's vandal resistant digital video panels and Bellagio video panels both list the Bellissimo video telephone (BS) as a compatible monitor.

What is the BS-DESK?

The BS-DESK is the table-top version of the Bellissimo video telephone. Bell factory fits it on a sloped pedestal for ease of use. It has a captive cable with a plug-in connector for the wall mounting socket, which is supplied with it.

What do the BS-RT and BS-FB do?

The BS-RT extension sounder extends the call tone of a Bellissimo telephone to other areas of the premises, to improve audibility. The BS-FB flashing beacon gives a visual indication of a call at a Bellissimo or Tabellet video telephone, for the hard of hearing or for areas with a high level of background noise.
