Cut the Core Drilling: SDC WPT Wireless Power Transfer Device Makes Retrofits Easy

Messing with door cores is one of the biggest headaches for security dealers retrofitting electrified hardware—especially when dealing with wood or fire-rated doors. Fortunately, the SDC WPT Wireless Power Transfer Device solves that problem by delivering power and data across the door gap without any moving parts, wires, or core drilling.

Ideal for both retrofit and new construction, this RF-powered solution simplifies installations, minimizes vandal-prone wiring, and keeps projects on schedule. Whether you’re updating an older access control system or installing electric locks on a wood or steel door, the SDC WPT gives you the power—literally—to get the job done cleanly and compliantly.

Key Product Features

  • Wireless RF power transfer—no door core drilling required
  • Compatible with steel and wood doors
  • Transfers both energy and data (REX, DPS, latch status)
  • Visual LED status indicator
  • Field-selectable dual voltage output (12VDC or 24VDC)
  • Up to 1/4” (7mm) door gap tolerance
  • Flexible mounting on latch, hinge, or top frame
  • No moving parts or exposed wires—zero wear points
  • Adjustable unlock trigger (1–90 seconds)
  • Includes fixed 4-second unlock trigger for standard REX

Use Cases & Dealer Benefits

The WPT is a retrofit-friendly, code-compliant solution designed for:

  • Failsecure Electrified Locks and Latches: Power mortise, cylindrical, or rim locks without wiring hassles.
  • High-Traffic Doors: Reduce wear and tear from wire loops and moving parts.
  • Historic and Finished Doors: Maintain door aesthetics without compromising functionality.
  • Healthcare and Schools: Perfect for touchless entry installations using wave-to-open sensors.
  • Compliance Upgrades: Ideal for projects needing to meet UL fire and burglary ratings.

Why Dealers Love It:

  • No Core Drilling = Faster Installs: Save labor and avoid damaging fire-rated or wood doors.
  • Reduced Callbacks: No wires to break or degrade over time.
  • More Tolerant Alignment: Easier to install than inductive wireless devices.
  • Upsell Opportunity: Bundle with electrified locksets, exit devices, and wave-to-open switches.
  • Profitable Retrofits: Unlock more margin on existing door openings where wiring is difficult.

Technical Summary

  • Power Input (Frame Side): 600 mA @ 24 VDC
  • Power Output (Door Side):
    • 600 mA @ 12 VDC
    • 300 mA @ 24 VDC

  • Dry Inputs:
    • (1) 4-second fixed unlock trigger
    • (1) 1–90 second adjustable unlock timer
  • Dry Outputs (Frame Side):
    • (2) SPDT, 1A @ 30 VDC resistive
    • (2) SPST-NO, 100 mA @ 60 VDC resistive
  • Environmental Rating: -4°F to 140°F
  • Weight: 1 lb
  • Certifications:
    • UL 10C Positive Pressure Fire Tests
    • UL 1034 Burglary-Resistant Locking Mechanisms

Note: For use with failsecure (power-to-unlock) locks only. Not compatible with failsafe or continuously dogged locks.

How the SDC WPT Works

Unlike inductive systems that require precise coil alignment, the WPT uses RF energy, which:

  • Transmits power as radio waves across the door gap.
  • Converts the RF signal into usable DC voltage via an internal receiver.
  • Transfers data (REX, DPS, latch status) along with power.
  • Is less sensitive to vertical and horizontal misalignment than coil-based systems.

This makes the WPT more installer-friendly and reliable in real-world deployments—especially in field conditions where perfect alignment isn’t always possible.

Accessory Highlight: WPT Drill Jig

For installers working with solid or particle-filled wood doors, SDC offers a WPT Drill Jig Assembly (part #SDC-WPT), available from JustDoorToolz. This makes prep quick, clean, and precise—ensuring a secure, code-compliant fit for every install.

Digital Watchdog has just released a game-changing new product that brings enterprise-grade surveillance features to the front door. Meet the DW InterCam™ — a commercial-grade IP doorbell camera purpose-built for professionals who need a reliable, NDAA-compliant video intercom solution.

If you’re a security integrator looking to offer an upgrade to basic intercoms or doorbell cams, InterCam™ delivers the robust build quality, high-performance imaging, and seamless DW Spectrum® integration that your commercial customers demand.

What Is InterCam™?

The DW InterCam is a compact, weather-resistant video doorbell camera designed specifically for commercial and multi-tenant environments. Unlike consumer-grade devices, this camera is ONVIF Profile S compliant, NDAA/TAA certified, and engineered for professional-grade deployment.

It features a 5MP wide-angle camera, a built-in microphone and speaker for two-way audio communication, and an integrated doorbell button with an illuminated ring for low-light visibility. Whether it’s mounted at a gated entry, office vestibule, or delivery dock, InterCam gives your clients real-time awareness and control over who’s at their door — from anywhere.

Ideal Use Cases for InterCam

InterCam is the perfect solution for:

  • Multi-tenant office buildings

  • Commercial lobbies and entryways

  • Small business storefronts

  • Delivery and service entrances

  • Secured employee access points

For integrators, it’s an ideal upsell and an easy add-on to any existing DW Spectrum® IPVMS environment — no extra software, mobile app subscriptions, or third-party cloud platforms required.

A Real-World Scenario: Upgrading Access Control at a Law Office

One recent deployment involved a small law firm with a front desk team often tied up on calls or in meetings. With InterCam™, the firm’s receptionist can now visually verify and speak with visitors before remotely unlocking the door — all within their existing DW Spectrum® interface. The result? Better security, faster visitor handling, and no more running to the front door.

Why Security Dealers Will Love It

Here’s what makes InterCam a must-have addition to your product portfolio:

  • ONVIF Profile S Compliant – Works with major NVRs and VMS platforms

  • DW Spectrum® Ready – Seamless plug-and-play integration

  • NDAA/TAA Compliant – Approved for use in federal and government-funded installations

  • 5MP Wide-Angle Lens – Captures a wide 180° field of view in high resolution

  • Built-In 2-Way Audio – Enables remote conversations with visitors

  • IP66-Rated Housing – Rugged enough for outdoor and industrial settings

  • PoE Powered – One cable handles power and video for streamlined installs

  • Dry Contact Output – Triggers electric strikes or access control systems

  • 16VAC Input Support – Easily integrates into existing doorbell wiring setups

Built for Professional Surveillance Environments

Unlike residential video doorbells, InterCam™ is designed for enterprise deployment. That means no cloud fees, no locked ecosystems, and total control over your storage and privacy. Video can be recorded locally on a DW Spectrum® NVR, at the edge using a microSD card, or to any ONVIF-compatible VMS or storage server.

And because it’s built on open architecture, it fits into virtually any surveillance or access control ecosystem, making it one of the most flexible intercom options on the market today.

DW Spectrum Makes It Even Smarter

With DW Spectrum IPVMS, users can:

  • View and communicate with visitors in real-time

  • Automate alerts based on motion or video analytics

  • Manage multiple entry points across multiple sites

  • Archive video footage securely and retrieve it on demand

  • Grant remote access to security teams, property managers, or concierge staff

DW Spectrum’s intuitive interface ensures that even non-technical users can manage entry points with confidence.  Check out our article on: Why DW Spectrum
