DoorKing 2112 eVolve Video Entry System — Surface Mount Curved (2112-082)
The DoorKing 2112 eVolve is a cloud-based video entry system that lets you see and speak to visitors on your smartphone, wherever you are. Built-in IP camera, two-way video calling, and programming from any browser.
This is the curved surface-mount version. Same electronics as the standard 2112, in an enclosure with a curved faceplate.
Why the curved enclosure?
Two reasons people choose it. Appearance — on a rendered pillar, a stone column or a contemporary entrance, the curved profile sits better than a flat box and looks less like equipment. And water — the curve sheds rain off the faceplate rather than letting it sit on a flat surface above the keypad, which matters on an exposed entrance with no overhang.
If neither applies, the flat 2112-081 is the same system at the same price.
A monthly DoorKing cloud service subscription is required. The 2112 is a connected product — the app, the video and the cloud programming all depend on it. Factor that into the running cost. If you would rather have no monthly fee, the 1812 Plus on a standard phone line has none.

Ethernet or cellular?
Ethernet is the default and the better option if you can get it. Hardwire the unit to your router using your existing internet — more reliable than a radio link, and no cellular airtime on top of the cloud subscription. If you already have conduit to the gate, run cat cable while it is open.
Cellular is for gates with no practical cable run.
| Kit | Use it when |
|---|---|
| 2112-150 | Internal dongle — adequate signal at the gate |
| 2112-152 | External kit — weak signal or a metal enclosure |
Check coverage before you order cellular. Signal at the gate is often worse than at the house, especially behind trees or below grade. If it is marginal, go external or go ethernet.
Which 2112?
| Model | Enclosure |
|---|---|
| 2112-081 | Surface mount, flat |
| 2112-082 — this model | Surface mount, curved |
| 2112-083 | Flush mount — sets into a pillar, needs a rough-in box |
Already have an 1812 in a curved enclosure?
You do not have to redo the installation. The 2112-582 upgrade kit fits 1812 curved enclosures — you reuse the existing housing, post and conduit and change only the electronics. For flat 1812 enclosures, use the 2112-581.
Common questions
What is the difference between the 2112-081 and the 2112-082? The enclosure. Flat on the -081, curved on the -082. Identical electronics, identical price — choose on how it will look on your entrance.
Is there a monthly fee? Yes. The 2112 needs a DoorKing cloud service subscription. If you want no monthly cost, an 1812 on a phone line is the alternative — audio only, but nothing to pay after purchase.
Do I need internet at the gate? Either an ethernet run from your router, or a cellular kit.
How many households can it serve? Up to 10, with 4 numbers each. For anything larger, see DoorKing commercial phone entry.
Can it ring more than one phone? Yes — broadcast calling rings up to 4 at once.
Will it open my existing gate operator? Yes. Dry contact output, accepted by any gate operator whatever the brand.
What post do I need? 1200-045 for a concrete pad, 1200-046 gooseneck for setting into ground.
